[275.3] Simpson, Sikh Initiation, 5, quoting Wolf. Dr. Karl Piehl gives two curious extracts from the inscription on the tomb of Pepi II., an Egyptian monarch of the sixth dynasty, xv. Proc. Soc. Bibl. Arch., 250. They appear to belong to the order of thought under discussion; but in the absence of the context it is impossible to determine their exact meaning. Spitting is mentioned as a charm against rain in the Obererzgebirge, Spiess, Obererz., 34. It is probably an extension of the idea of spitting on a witch.
CHAPTER XIII NOTES

[280.2] Ibid., i. 216; iv. 26. Father Favre identifies the Padaioi with the Battas of Sumatra (Favre, Wild Tribes, 5), and Major Rennell the Issedones with the Oigurs or Eluths, a Mongol tribe conquered in the last century by the Chinese (G. Busk in ii. Journ. Ethn. Soc., N.S., 80, citing Rennell’s Geographical System of Herodotus). These identifications, however, must be regarded as doubtful.
