bull

713

Apis : "for the Egyptians assert that there are 29 marks clearly to be seen on this sacred bull. And the Egyptians are able to explain which of the star each mark symbolizes. And they say further that the marks indicate the shape of the Universe ... . But you will see also a mark ... which suggests that darkness is older than light." (Aelianus, Nat. An. XI.10)

714

"A mark in the shape of the waxing moon is to be found on the right ... side of statuettes of Apis. The inverted white triangle on Apis’ brow".

"Spotted Apis was said to have been miraculously generated by the light of the moon." (Ploutarkhos, Is. Os. 368 C)

717

According to the Memphite Theology, "Four red. green and ... (?) coloured bulls and cows appeared, after the light of the sun had driven off the darkness of Chaos. They were changed into bull bulls and cows in order to create life and vegetation upon earth."

715

"According to the Memphite Theology, four black bulls and four black cows ... arose from the dark chaos water to create the world. The bulls Apis, Mnevis, Buchis and 3gb-wr "the Great Inundation", are the four males of the Ogdoad [at Edfu & Dendera]".

716

"Bata, the hero of the Tale of the Two Brothers, changed himself into a bull of many colours, of a kind unknown to man. [Pap. d’Orbiney 14,7] ... In the morning ... at the creation, Re-Horakhti, the god to whom Bata directs his prayers, rises from the horizon with feathers of many colours (s3b s^wty)."

717

Boukhis, "who lived at Hermonthis ... was basically a white bull ... who

718

was said to be of many colours (ss^3 i,wn). Macrobius, Sat. I, 21, states about Buchis that he changed his colours every hour."

p. 716 "Sobek, the Lord of Color (nb i,wn), is addressed as a perfect child of shining appearance and with many forms (<s^3 h^prw).

{Sometimes the "great fish" which swallowed YO^Wnah [cf. /I,WN/] is aequated with the Lewyatan.

His rays are the colours ... materialising upon earth in the colours of the minerals".

Identified with the crocodile, Lewyatan is said to have scales of as many colors as the year hath days.}

wife

1032

"Horus weds a scorpion wife, but at the instigation of intercourse ("opening")she stings him between the shoulders ..., so that he acquires medical skills as "Horus the Doctor" ... . The same scenario is attested for nor than one scorpion wife (Sepertueres / Sepertuenes and Ta-Bitchet)". [Citations from texts :]

"Sepertueres ... tells her name to Horus for three years, with blood hidden in her thighs since Horus opened her." (P. Chester Beatty VII, 4/3)

1033

"by the blood of Ta-Bitchet, when Horus opened her on a bed of ebony." (O. Brussels E. 3209, ll. 1-2)

1034

"scorpion ... who has stung the herdsman in the evening when he was lying down! ... The seven daughters of Pre stand lamenting, making seven knots in their seven bands to place them upon the one who was bitten." (P. Turin 1993 spell 12, vo. 3/10-4/1)

"when the wife of Horus bites you, ... I will not allow brewing for the jugs of the 365 gods, who spend the night hungry". (P. Turin spell 16, vo. 5/3)

1035

the 7 wives of "Horus the doctor" : (?); (?); Ifdet; Wepet-sepu; Sefed-sepu; Metemet-neferetiyes; (?) (P. Chester Beatty VII, 1/7-2/4)

1036

the 3 names missing from P. Chester Beatty VII, 1/7-2/4 may be thus [speculatively] restored : Sepertuenes; (Ta-)Bitchet; Ifdet; Wepet-sepu; Sefed-sepu; Metemet-neferetiyes; Batcheh
