The cats of Bubastis and the lions of Tell es Seba crowd our museums. The lions of Horbeit may be reckoned among the chefs-d'oeuvre of Egyptian statuary. It formed part of the ornamentation of a temple or naos door; and the other side was either built into a wall or imbedded in a piece of wood.
'The kings of Tarshish, and of the isles, shall bring presents' to thee: 'the kings of Sheba and Seba shall offer gifts. The kings shall see and arise, and 'princes also shall worship because of the Lord, &c. 'All the kings of the earth shall praise thee, O Lord, when they hear the words of thy mouth.
Texas does not possess any range of mountains with the exception that, one hundred miles north from San Antonio de Bejar, the San Seba hills rise and extend themselves in a line parallel with the Rocky Mountains, as high as the green peaks in the neighbourhood of Santa Fe.
The text is written in the hieratic character, and reads: "Homage to thee, O flesh and bone of Rā, thou first-born son who didst proceed from his members, who wast chosen to be the chief of those who were brought forth, thou mighty one, thou divine form, who art endowed with strength as the lord of transformations. Thou overthrowest the Seba fiends each day.
The Dutch had also printed versions of the New Testament, a catechism, and several tracts in the language of this and the neighbouring islands.
