Transcriber's notes:

The ae-ligature character was not used consistently in the source book.

In some cases, the god's name "Bes" has an e-macron, and in others a
standard e. No attempt was made to regularize this.

Page numbers in this book are indicated by numbers enclosed in curly
braces, e.g. {99}. For its Index, a page number has been placed only
at the start of that section. In the HTML version of this book, page
numbers are placed in the left margin.

Footnotes have been renumbered sequentially and moved to the end of
their respective chapters.

The plus (+) sign indicates bolded text, e.g. this is +bolded+.

Vowels with macron accenting are preceded by an equals sign (=), and
the pair are surrounded by square brackets, e.g. "Th[=o]th". In the
Unicode version of this etext, the actual Unicode characters have been
used. In the HTML version, entities have been used.

There are two instances in this text of the actual equals sign,
however, neither follows a square bracket or precedes a vowel.
