2. The Lake at Zarukha.

Three specimens of this scarab are known; one is in the Egyptian Museum of the Vatican at Rome; another is in the Golenischeff Collection, and the third is in the possesion of the Duke of Northumberland at Alnwick Castle. A fragment of a fourth example is in the Petrie Collection. The Vatican scarab was first published by Rosellini (Mon. St., Pl. 44, 2, cf. Vol. III, pt. 1, pp. 263-268), and again by Stern in 1878 (Ä.Z., 1877, p. 87). A translation of this text was made by Birch, and published by him in the Records of the Past (Vol. XII, p. 41). The text given here is that on the Alnwick Museum specimen.[[134]]
