AEGYPTUSAEGYPTUS (ἡ Αἴγυπτος: Eth. Αἰγύπτιος, Eth. Aegyptius).
I. Names and boundaries of Egypt.Egypt, properly so called, is that portion of the valley of the Nile which lies between lat. 24° 3′ and lat. 31° 37′ N., or between the islands of Philae and Elephantine, and the Mediterranean Sea. In the language of the earliest inhabitants it was entitled CHEMI, or the Black Earth; by the Hebrews it was called MIZIAIM; by the Arabians MESR (comp. Μέστρη, J. AJ 1.1); by the Greeks ἡ Αἴγυπτος; and by the Copts ELKEBIT, or inundated land. The boundaries of Egypt have in all ages been nearly the same,--to the S., Aethiopia; to the E., the Arabian Gulf, the Stony Arabia, Idumaea, and the southwestern frontier of Palestine; to the N., the Mediterranean Sea; and to the W., the Libyan desert. Homer (Hom. Od. 4.477) calls the Nile itself ὁ Αἵγνπτος; nor is the appellation misapplied. For the Valley of Egypt is emphatically the "Gift of the Nile," without whose fertilising waters the tract from Syene to Cercasorum would only be a deep furrow in the sandy and gravelly desert running parallel with the Red Sea. An account of the Nile is given elsewhere. [NILUS] Here it is sufficient to remark that the valley which it irrigates is generally, except in the Delta or Lower Egypt, a narrow strip of alluvial deposit, occupying less than half the space between the Arabian mountains and the Libyan desert. The average breadth of this valley from one of these barriers to the other, as far as lat. 30° N., is about 7 miles; while that of the cultivable land, depending upon the overflow of the river, scarcely exceeds 5 1/2 miles. Between Cairo in Lower and Edfoo (Apollinopolis Magna) in Upper Egypt the extreme breadth is about 11 miles: the narrowest part, including the river itself, is about 2 miles. But northward, between Edfoo and Assouan (Syene), the valley contracts so much that, in places, there is scarcely any soil on either side of the river, and the granite or limestone springs up from its banks a mural entrenchment. The whole area of the valley between Syene and the bifurcation of the Nile at Cercasorum contains about 2255 square miles, exclusive of the district of Fayoom (Arsinoe, Moeris), which comprises about 340. The Delta itself is estimated at 1976 square miles between the main branches of the river--the modern Damietta and Rosetta arms. But both E. and W. of this tract stretches a considerable level of irrigated land, which, including the Delta, embraces about 4500 square miles. The length of Egypt from Syene to the Mediterranean is about 526 miles. The total surface of modern Egypt is somewhat larger than that of the country in ancient times, since, in spite of a less regular system of irrigation, the inundations of the Nile have increased since the eras of the Pharaohs and the Ptolemies. Egypt, in its general configuration, is a long rock-bound valley, terminating in a deep bay, and resembling in form an inverted Greek upsilon [<01>]. Its geological structure is tripartite. The Nilevalley shelves down to the Mediterranean in a series of steps, consisting of sandy or gravelly plateaus, separated by granite or limestone ridges, which the river cuts diagonally. From Syene to Edfoo granite or red sandstone prevails: at Edfoo limestone succeeds; until in lat. 30° 10′ the rocks diverge NE. and NW., and the alluvial Delta fills up an embayed triangle, whose apex is at Cercasorum, and whose base is the sea. The political and physical divisions of Egypt so nearly coincide that we may treat of them under one head. From Syene to Cercasorum the whole of the Nile-valley was denominated Upper Egypt: with the fork of the river Lower Egypt began. This was indeed a natural division between the primitive and the alluvial regions: and the distinction was recognised from the earliest times by different monumental symbols--natural and [p. 1.37]conventional. The common lotus (Nymphaea), rising out of a clod of earth, represented the Upper country; the root of the papyrus, upon a clod, the Lower. Sebena was the goddess of the Upper, Neith of the Lower country. A white crown denoted the former, a red crown the latter; white and red crowns united composed the diadem of the king of all the land. The Upper country, however, was generally subdivided into two portions, (1) Upper Egypt Proper, or the Thebaid (ἡ Θηβαΐς, οἱ ἄνω τόποι), which extended from Syene to Hermopolis Magna, in lat. 28° N.: and (2) Middle Egypt, also called Heptanomis, or the Seven Cantons (ἡ μεταξὺ χώρα: Ἑπτανομίς which reached from the neighbour-hood of Hermopolis to the apex of the Delta. This threefold partition has been adopted by the Arabs, who denominated Upper, Middle, and Lower Egypt respectively, Saíd, Wustáni, and El-Rif. The traveller who ascends the Nile from its mouths to Syene passes through seven degree, of latitude, and virtually surveys two distinct regions. Lower Egypt is an immense plain: Upper Egypt, a narrowing valley. The former, in the main, resembles the neighbouring coastland of Africa; the latter is more akin to Nubia, and its climate, its Fauna and its Flora, indicate the approaching tropic. The line of demarcation commences about the 27th degree of N. latitude. Rain rarely falls in the The-baid: the sycamore and the acacia almost disappear; the river plants and mollusca assume new types: the Theban or Dhoum palm, with its divaricated branches, grows beside the date palm: the crocodile, the jackal, the river-horse, and hyena become more numerous. We must now return to the general boundaries of Egypt which affected, in various degrees, the climate, the population, and the social and political character of the Nile-valley.
- 1. The Eastern boundary. In this region lay the principal mineral wealth of Egypt, including the quarries, which furnished mattcals for this land of monuments. Beginning with the Pelusiac mouth of the Nile, and along the frontier of Stony Arabia, we find the barren and level region of Casiotis, whose only elevation is the ridge or table land of Mt. Casius (ὁ Κάσιος, Strab. pp. 38, 50, 55, 58, &c.; Mela, 1.10; Plin. Nat. 5.11, 12.13; Lucan 8.539, 10.433). The Egyptian Casius (El Kas or El Katish) is, according to Strabo (16.2), a round sandstone ridge (λόφος θινώδης) It contained the grave of Cn. Pompeius Magnus, and a temple of Zeus Casius. At a very early period the Egyptians established colonies upon the Idumaean and Arabian border. Copper, mixed with iron ore, and heaps of scoriae from Egyptian smelting-houses, are still found on the western flank of Mt. Sinai, and inscriptions at Wady-Magara in this district, and hieroglyphics and fragments of pottery at Surabit-El-Kadim, on the modern road from Suez to Sinai, attest the existence of settlements coeval with at least the 18th dynasty of kings. Ascending from the head of the Delta, and about 50 miles from the Arabian Sea, we come upon a range of tertiary limestone hills (Τρωικοῦ λίθου ὄρος, Ptol.; ἀλαξυδτρίνον ὄρος, id.) parallel with the Heptanomis, running north and south, and sloping westward to the Nile, and eastward to the Red Sea ὄρη τὰ Ἀραεικά, Hdt. 2.8). A region of basalt and porphyry begins in the parallel of Antaeopolis, and extends to that of Tentyra or Coptos (Πορφυρίτου ὄρος, id.). This is again succeeded by limestone at Aias or Aeas (Αἴας, id.; Plin. Nat. 6.29.33), and at Acabe (Ἀκάβη, Ptol.), where, nearly opposite Latopolis, are vast quarries of white marble. From Mt. Smaragdus, which next follows, the Egyptians obtained the fine green breccia (Verde d'Egitto), and emeralds in abundance. The breccia quarries, as inscriptions testify, were worked as far back as the 6th dynasty of kings (Manetho). The principal quarry was at Mount Zaburah. From Berenice southward are found, in various proportions, limestone and porphyry again. Mt. Basanites (Βασανίτον λίθον ὄρος, Ptol.), consisting of a species of hornblend, terminated the eastern boundary of the Nile-valley. Beyond this, and of uncertain extent, are the gold mines SE. of the Thebaid. They are about ten days' journey SE. from Apolli. nopolis Magna, in the present Bisháree desert. The process of gold-washing appears to be represented on tombs of the age of Osirtasen. Silver and lead were also found, and sulphur abounded in this mineral region. The eastern frontier was mostly arid and barren, but neither uninhabited nor unfrequented by travellers. More than one caravan track, whose bearings are still marked by ruined cisterns and brick pyramids, followed the gorges of the hills; and occasional temples imply a settled population in towns or villages. The sides and passes of the mountains afforded also pasture for flocks and herds, and wild deer, wolves, &c. found here their abode. Two principal roads, diverging from Coptos on the Nile--the northern leading to Philoteras (Kosseir), lat. 26° 9′, and Myos Hormos or Arsinoe; the southern to Berenice--penetrated the mountain-barrier, and connected the Nile-valley with the Red Sea. The population of this district was more Arabian than Coptic, and its physical characteristics were Arabian, not Libyan.
- 2. The Western boundary of Egypt is more particularly described under OASIS. The Libyan desert is not, as the ancients believed, merely an ocean of drifting sand, tenanted by serpents, and swept by pestilential blasts (Lucan 9.765): on the contrary, its gravelly surface presents considerable inequalities, and the blasts are noxious only in relaxing the human frame, or by obliterating the traveller's path with eddies of blinding sand. Everywhere this plateau rests upon a limestone basis, and descends in shelves to the Mediterranean.
- 3. The Northern boundary is the Mediterranean. From the western limit of Egypt to Pelusium the coast-line extends to about 180 geographical miles, and presents the convex form common to the alluvial deposits of great rivers. From the depression of its shore, the approach to Egypt is dangerous to the navigator. He finds himself in shallow water almost before he detects the low and sinuous mud banks which mask the land. Indeed, from Paraetonium in Libya to Joppa in Syria, Pharos afforded the only secure approach, and the only good anchorage (Diod. 2.31). Nor is it probable that any considerable advance of the shore has taken place within historical times.
- 4. The Southern boundary is spoken of under Aethiopia.
II. Inhabitants.The ancient Egyptians believed themselves to be autochthonous. This was no improbable conception in a land yearly covered with the life-teeming mud of the Nile. When the conquests of Alexander had rendered the Greeks acquainted with Western India, [p. 1.38]they inferred, from certain similarities of doctrine and usages, that the Indians, Ethiopians or Nubians, and Egyptians were derived from the same stock (Arrian, Indic. 6.9); and Diodorus, who had conversed with Aethiopian envoys in Egypt about B.C. 58, derives both the Egyptians and their civilisation from Meroë (3.11). Both opinions have found numerous supporters in ancient and modern times, and Heeren has constructed upon Diodorus a theory of a priestly colonisation of Egypt from Meroë, which is interesting without being convincing. No nation has bequeathed to us so many or such accurate memorials of its form, complexion, and physiognomy as the Egyptian. We have in its mummies portraits, and upon its tombs pictures of its people as they looked and lived, individually and socially. That the Egyptians were darker in hue than either the Greeks or even the neighbouring Asiatics, is shown by the terms in which Greek, Latin, and Hebrew writers mention them. To their progenitor the Hebrews gave the name of Ham, or ad ust (Genes. 10.6): Herodotus, speaking of the Colchians, says that they were an Egyptian colony because they were black in complexion (μελάγχροες), and curly-haired (οὐλότριχες, 2.104): Lucian, in his Navigium (vol. viii. p. 155, Bipont ed.), describes a young Egyptian mariner as like a negro: and Ammianus (22.16.23) calls them subfusculi et atrati. But the Egyptians were not a negro race--a supposition contradicted alike by osteology and by monumental paintings, where negroes often appear, but always either as tributaries or captives. It is probable, indeed, that the Nile-valley contained three races, with an admixture of a fourth. On the eastern frontier the Arabian type prevailed: on the western, the Libyan; while the fourth variety arose from intermarriages between the Egyptians Proper and the Nubians or Aethiopians of Meroë. The ruling caste, however, was an elder branch of the Syro-Arabian family, which in two separate divisions descended the Tigris and the Euphrates; and while the northern stream colonised the land of Canaan and the future empires of Babylon and Nineveh, the southern spread over Arabia Felix, and entered Egypt from the east. This supposition, and this alone, will account for the Caucasian type of the Coptic skull and facial outline, and corresponds with the Mosaic ethnology in the 10th chapter of Genesis, which derives the Egyptians from Ham. We may allow, too, for considerable admixture, even of the ruling castes, with the cognate races to the south and east; and hence, on the one hand, the fullness of lips, and, on the other, the elongated Nubian eye, need not compel us to define the inhabitants of the Nile-valley as an African rather than an Asiatic race. The Egyptians may be said to be intermediate between the Syro-Arabian and the Ethiopic type; and as at this day the Copt is at once recognised in Syria by his dark hue (un peau noirâtre, Volney, Voyage, vol. i. p. 114), the duskier complexion--brown, with a tinge of red--of the ancient Egyptians may be ascribed solely to their climate, and to those modifying causes which, in the course of generations, affect both the osteology and the physiology of long-settled races. Nor does their language contradict this statement, although the variations between the Coptic and Syro-Arabian idioms are more striking than those of form and colour. The Coptic, the language of the native Christian population of Egypt, is now universally acknowledged to be substantially the same as the old Egyptian. It is imperfectly understood, since it has long ceased to be a living speech. Yet the ultimate analysis of its elements shows it to have been akin to the Semitic, and derived from a common source.
III. Population.Many causes combined to give the Greek and Roman writers an exaggerated conception of the population of Egypt,--the great works of masonry, the infinitesimal cultivation of the soil, and the fact that, the kings and higher order of priests excepted, every Egyptian was either a husbandman or a manufacturer. To these causes, implying a vast amount of disposable labour, yet arguing also a complete command of it by the government, must be added the cheapness of food, and the small quantity of it consumed by the people generally. Health and longevity were common in a land where the climate was salubrious, diet simple, and indolence almost unknown. The Egyptian women were unusually fruitful; though we can hardly give credence to the statements of ancient writers, that five children at a birth were common (Aristot. HA 7.5), and that even seven were not reckoned prodigious (Plin. Nat. 7.3; Strab. 16.605). Still there is reason to think that the population fell short of the estimates transmitted by ancient writers. That a census was periodically taken, is probable from the fact that Sesostris caused the land to be accurately surveyed, and Amasis, towards the end of the monarchy, compelled every male to report to a magistrate his means of livelihood. (Hdt. 2.109, 177.) Herodotus, however, gives no estimate of the population, nor has any record of a census been hitherto discovered on the native monuments. Diodorus (1.31) says that it amounted, in the Pharaonic era, to seven millions, and that it was not less in his own day (B.C. 58). Germanicus (Tac. Ann. 2.60; compare Strab. p. 816) was informed, in A.D. 16, by the priests of Thebes, that Egypt, in the reign of Rameses Sesostris, contained 700,000 men of the military age. If that age, as at Athens, extended from eighteen to sixty, and 1/5 be allowed for adults between those periods of life, the entire population (5 x 700,000) will amount to 3,500,000. Allow 500,000 for error, and add 1/3 for slaves and casual residents, and 6,000,000 will be the maximum of the census of Egypt. In the Macedonian and Roman eras, 300,000 must be included for the fixed or floating population of Alexandria (Joseph. B. J. 2.16). According to Herodotus (2.177), there were, in the reign of Amasis, 20,000 inhabited towns, and Diodorus (l.c.) says that 18,000 towns were entered on the register. Many of these, however, were probably little more than walled villages, nor have we any means of knowing their average area or population. Yet it should be remembered that, even allowing for the less perfect system of embankment and irrigation in modern times, the extent of productive soil has not decreased. Two centuries ago the population of modern Egypt was loosely estimated at 4 millions. During the French occupation of the country in 1798--1801, it was computed at 2 1/2 millions. Sir Gardner Wilkinson (Modern Egypt and Thebes, vol. i. p. 256) reduces it to 1 1/2 million.
IV. The Nomes.The Nile-valley was parcelled out into a number of cantons, varying in size and number. Each of [p. 1.39]these cantons was called a nome (νόμος) by the Greeks, praefectura oppidorum by the Romans. Each had its civil governor, the Nomarch (νόμαρχος who collected the crown revenues, and presided in the local capital and chief court of justice. Each nome, too, had its separate priesthood, its temple, chief and inferior towns, its magistrates, registration and peculiar creed, ceremonies, and customs, and each was apparently independent of every other nome. At certain seasons delegates from the various cantons met in the palace of the Labyrinth for consultation on public affairs (Strab. p. 811). According to Diodorus (1.54), the nomes date from Sesostris. But they did not originate with that monarch, but emanated probably from the distinctions of animal worship; and the extent of the local worship probably determined the boundary of the nome. Thus in the nome of Thebais, where the ramheaded deity was worshipped, the sheep was sacred, the goat was eaten and sacrificed: in that of Mendes, where the goat was worshipped, the sheep was a victim and an article of food. Again, in the nome of Ombos, divine honours were paid to the crocodile: in that of Tentyra, it was hunted and abominated; and between Ombos and Tentyra there existed an internecine feud. (Juv. Sat. xv.) The extent and number of the nomes cannot be ascertained. They probably varied with the political state of Egypt. Under a dynasty of conquerors, they would extend eastward and westward to the Red Sea and Libyan deserts: under the Hyksos, the Aethiopian conquest, and the times of anarchy subsequent to the Persian invasion, they would shrink within the Nile-valley. The kingdoms of Sais and Xois and the foundation of Alexandria probably multiplied the Deltaic cantons: and generally, commerce, or the residence of the military caste, would attract the nomes to Lower Egypt. According to Strabo (pp. 787, 811), the Labyrinth, or hall of the Nomarchs, contained 27 chambers, and thus, at one period, the nomes must have been 27 in number, 10 in the Thebaid, 10 in the Delta, and 7, as its name implies, in the Heptanomis. But the Heptanomis, at another period, contained 16 nomes, and the sum of these cantons is variously given. From the dodecarchy or government of 12 kings, and from Herodotus' assertion (2.148) that there were only 12 halls in the Labyrinth, we are disposed to infer, that at one time there were only 12 of these cantons, and that there were always 12 larger or preponderating nomes. According to the lists given by Pliny (5.9.9) and Ptolemy, there must have been at least 45 nomes; but each of these writers gives several names not found in the other, and if we should add the variations of the one list to the other, the sum would be much greater. There was, under the Macedonian kings, a subdivision of the nomes into toparchies, which was probably an arrangement to meet the fiscal system of the Greeks. (Hdt. 2.164; Diod. 1.54; Strab. xvii; Cyrill. Alex. ad Isaiam, 19.2; Epiphan Haeres. 24.7.) The following list of the principal Nomes will illustrate the variety of these territorial subdivisions as regards religious worship.
- 1. The Menelaite; chief town Canobus, with a celebrated temple and oracle of Serapis (Strab. p. 801; Plut. Is. et Osir. 100.27.)
- 2. The Andropolite; chief town Andropolis.
- 3. The Sebennytic; capital Pachnamunis (Ptol.), worshipped Latona.
- 4. The Chemmite (Hdt. 2.165); capital Buto. Its deity was also called Buto, whom the Greeks identified with Leto. Ptolemy calls this canton φθενότης, and Pliny (5.9) Ptenetha.
- 5. The Onuphite; chief town Onuphis. (Hdt. 2.166.)
- 6. The Phthemphuthite; capital Tava. (φθεμφονθὶ νομός, Ptol.; Phthempha, Plin. Nat. 5.9.)
- 7. The Saite; chief city Sais, worshipped Neith or Athene, and contained a tomb and a sanctuary of Osiris. (Hdt. 2.170; Strab. p. 802.) Under the dynasty of the Saitic Kings this was the principal of the Deltaic cantons.
- 8. The Busirite; capital Busiris, worshipped Isis, and at one epoch, according to Hellenic tradition at least, sacrificed the red-coloured men who came over the sea, i. e. the nomades of Syria and Arabia (Hdt. 1.59, 33, 165; Strab. p. 802; Plut. de Is. et Os. p. 30.)
- 9. The Thmuite; chief town Thmuis (Hdt. 2.168), afterwards incorporated with the following:
- 10. The Mendesian; capital Mendes (Hdt. 2.42, 46; Diod. 1.84), worshipped the goat Mendes, or the horned Pan.
- 11. The Tanite; chief town Tanis. (Hdt. 2.166; Strab. p. 802.) In this nome tradition affirmed that the Hebrew legislator was born and educated.
- 12. The Bubastite; capital Bubastus, contained a noble temple of Bubastis or Artemis. (Hdt. 2.59, 67, 137.)
- 13. The Athribite; capital Athribis, where the shrewmouse and crocodile were held in reverence.
- 14. The Heliopolite; west of the Delta, and sacred to the sun, from whom its capital Heliopolis (On) derived its name. (Hdt. 2.9; Diod. 5.56; J. AJ 2.3.)
- 15. The Heroopolite; chief town Heroopolis, a principal seat of the worship of Typhon, the evil or destroying genius.
- Besides these the Delta contained other less important nomes,--the Nitriote, where the Natron Lakes, Nitrariae (Plin. Nat. 5.9) were situated; the Letopolite (Strab. p. 807); the Prosopite; the Leontopolite; the Mentelite; the Pharbaethite; and the Sethraite.
A. NOMES OF THE DELTA. The most important were:--
- 1. The Memphite, whose chief city Memphis was the capital of Egypt, and the residence of the Pharaohs, who succeeded Psammetichus B.C. 616. The Memphite Nome rose into importance on the decline of the kingdom of Thebais, and was itself in turn eclipsed by the Hellenic kingdom of Alexandria. [MEMPHIS]
- 2. The Aphroditopolite; chief town Aphroditopolis, was dedicated to Athor or Aphrodite.
- 3. The Arsinoite, the Fayoom, celebrated for its worship of the crocodile, from which its capital Crocodilopolis, afterwards Arsinoe, derived its name. [ARSINOE] The Labyrinth and the Lake of Moeris were in this canton.
- 4. The Heracleote, in which the ichneumon was worshipped. Its principal town was Heracleopolis Magna.
- 5. The Hermopolite, the border nome between Middle and Upper Egypt. This was at a very early period a flourishing canton. Its chief city Hermopolis stood near the frontiers of the Heptanomis, [p. 1.40]a little to the north of the castle and toll-house (Ἑρμοπολιτάνη φυλακή, Strab. p. 813), where the portage was levied on all craft coming from the Upper Country.
- 6. The Cynopolite, the seat of the worship of the hound and dog-headed deity Anubis. Its capital was Cynopolis, which must however be distinguished from the Deltaic city and other towns of the same name. (Strab. p. 812; Ptol.; Plut. Is. et Osir. 100.72.)
- The Greater Oasis (Ammonium) and the Lesser were reckoned among the Heptanomite Cantons: but both were considered as one nome only. [OASES]
B. NOMES OF THE HEPTANOMIS. The most important were :--
- 1. The Lycopolite, dedicated to the worship of the wolf. Its chief town was Lycopolis.
- 2. The Antaeopolite, probably worshipped Typhon (Diod. 1.21); its capital was Antaeopolis (Plut. de Solert. Anim. 23.)
- 3. The Aphroditopolite, [Comp. Nome (2), Heptanomis.] In cases where a southern and a northern canton possessed similar objects of worship, the latter was probably an offset or colony of the former, as the Thebaid was the original cradle of Egyptian civilisation, which advanced northward.
- 4. The Panopolite or, as it was afterwards called, the Chemmite, offered hero-worship to an apotheosized man, whom the Greeks compared to the Minyan hero Perseus. (Hdt. 2.91.) This canton, whose chief town was Panopolis or Chemmis (Diod. 1.18), was principally inhabited by linen-weavers and stonemasons.
- 5. The Thinite, probably one of the most ancient, as it was originally the leading nome of the Thebaid, and the nome or kingdom of Menes of This, the founder of the Egyptian monarchy. The Thinite nome worshipped Osiris, contained a Memnonium, and, in Roman times at least (Amm. Marc. 19.12; Spartian. Hadrian. 14), an oracle of Besa. Its capital was Abydus, or, as it was called earlier, This. [ABYDUS]
- 6. The Tentyrite, worshipped Athor (Aphrodite), Isis, and Typhon. Its inhabitants hunted the crocodile, and were accordingly at feud with the Ombite nome. (Juv. xv.) Its chief town was Tentyra.
- 7. The Coptite, whose inhabitants were principally occupied in the caravan trade between Berenice, Myos Hormos, and the interior of Arabia and Libya. Its capital was Coptos. [COPTOS]
- 8. The Hermonthite, worshipped Osiris and his son Orus: its chief town was Hermonthis.
- 9. The Apollonite, like the Tentyrite nome, destroyed the crocodile (Strab. p. 817; Plin. Nat. 5.9; Aelian, H. An. 10.21; Plut. Is. et Os. 50), and reverenced the sun. Its capital was Apollinopolis Magna. This nome is sometimes annexed to the preceding.
- 10. The Ombite, (Ombites praefectura, Plin. Nat. 5.9), worshipped the crocodile as the emblem of Sebak (comp. supra (6) and (9), and the Arsinoite (3), Heptanomite nomes). Ombos was its capital. The quarries of sandstone, so much employed in Egyptian architecture, were principally seated in this canton.
C. NOMES OF UPPER EGYPT. The most important were:--
V. Animal Worship.Animal worship is so intimately connected with the division of the country into nomes, and, in some degree, with the institution of castes, that we must briefly allude to it, although the subject is much too extensive for more than allusion. The worship of animals was either general or particular, common to the whole nation, or several to the nome. Thus throughout Egypt, the ox, the dog, and the cat, the ibis and the hawk, and the fishes lepidotus and oxyrrynchus, were objects of veneration. The sheep was worshipped only in the Saitic and Thebaid nomes: the goat at Mendes; the wolf at Lycopolis; the cepus (a kind of ape) at Babylon, near Memphis; the lion at Leontopolis, the eagle at Thebes, the shrewmouse at Athribis, and others elsewhere, as will be particularly noticed when we speak of their respective temples. As we have already seen, the object of reverence in one nome was accounted common and unclean, if not, indeed, the object of persecution in another. Animal worship has been in all ages the opprobrium of Egypt (comp. Clem. Alex. 3.2, p. 253, Potter; Diod. 1.84). The Hebrew prophets denounced, the anthropomorphic religionists of Hellas derided it. To the extent to which the Egyptians carried it, especially in the decline of the nation, it certainly approached to the fetish superstitions of the neighbouring Libya. But we must bear in mind, that our vergers to the Coptic temples are Greeks who, being ignorant of the language, misunderstood much that they heard, and being preoccupied by their own ritual or philosophy, misinterpreted much that they saw. One good effect may be ascribed to this form of superstition. In no country was humanity to the brute creation so systematically practised. The origin of animal worship has been variously, but never satisfactorily, accounted for. If they were worshipped as the auxiliaries of the husbandman in producing food or destroying vermin, how can we account for the omission of swine and asses, or for the adoption of lions and wolves among the objects of veneration? The Greeks, as was their wont, found many idle solutions of an enigma which probably veiled a feeling originally earnest and pious. They imagined that animals were worshipped because their effigies were the standards in war, like the Roman Dii Castrorum. This is evidently a substitution of cause for effect. The representations of animals on martial ensigns were the standards of the various nomes (Diod. 1.85). Lucian (Astrolog. v. p. 215, seq. Bipont) suggested that the bull, the lion, the fish, the ram, and the goat, &c. were correlates to the zodiacal emblems; but this surmise leaves the crocodile, the cat, and the ibis, &c. of the temples unexplained. It is much more probable that, among a contemplative and serious race, as the Egyptians certainly were, animal-worship arose out of the detection of certain analogies between instinct and reason, and that to the initiated the reverence paid to beasts was a primitive expression of pantheism, or the recognition of the Creator in every type of his work. The Egyptians are not the only people who have converted type into substance, or adopted in a literal sense the metaphorical symbols of faith.
VI. Castes and Political Institutions.The number of the Egyptian castes is very variously stated. Herodotus (2.164) says that they were seven--the sacerdotal and the military, herdsmen, swineherds, shopkeepers, interpreters, and boatmen. Plato (Timaeus, iii. p. 24) reckons six; Diodorus, in one passage (1.28) represents them as three-priests and husbandmen, from whom the army was levied, and artisans. But in another [p. 1.41](1.74) he extends the number to five, by the addition of soldiers and shepherds. Strabo limits them to three--priests, soldiers, and husbandmen--and as this partition is virtually correct, we shall adopt it after brief explanation. The existence of castes is a corroborative proof of the Asiatic origin of the Egyptians. The stamp of caste was not in Egypt, as is sometimes asserted, indelible. The son usually, but not inevitably, followed his father's trade or profession. From some of the pariah classes indeed--such as that of the swineherds--it was scarcely possible to escape. The land in Egypt upon which the institution of castes rested belonged in fee only to the king, the priests, and the soldiers. We know from Genesis (47.26) that all other proprietors of the soil had surrendered their rights to the crown, and received their lands again subject to an annual rent of 1/5 of the produce. The priests we know (Genes. l.c.), the soldiers we infer (Diod. 1.74), retained their absolute ownership; and in so productive a country as Egypt the husbandman was too important a person to be deprived at once of all his political rights. He was in fact an integral although an inferior section of the war-caste. The privileged orders however were the king, the priest, the soldier--
- 1. The King was at first elective, and always a member of the priesthood. He afterwards became hereditary, and was taken indifferently from the sacerdotal and military orders. If however he were by birth a soldier, he was adopted on his accession by the priests. Even the Ptolemies were not allowed to reign without such previous adoption. His initiation into the sacred mysteries was represented on monuments by the tau, the emblem of life and the key of secrecy, impressed upon his lips (Plut. de Is. et Osir. p. 354, B.; Plat. Rep. ii. p. 290).
- The king, when not engaged in war, was occupied in jurisdiction and the service of religion. The royal life was one long ceremony. His rising and his lying down; his meals, his recreations, and the order of his employments, were rigidly prescribed to him. Some liberty in law-making indeed was allowed him, since we read of the laws of Sesostris, Amasis, and other Egyptian rulers: and, with vigorous occupants of the throne, it is probable that the soldier occasionally transgressed the priestly ordinances. As but few, however, of the Egyptian monarchs seem to have grossly abused their power, we may conclude that. the hierarchy at least tempered royal despotism. In paintings the king is always represented as many degrees taller and more robust than his subject warriors. A thousand fly before him, and he holds strings of prisoners by the hair. The Egyptian king wears also the emblems and some-times even the features of the gods; and it is frequently difficult to distinguish on the monuments Sesortasen, Amunopht, &c. from Osiris. It is remarkable that females were not excluded from a throne so sacerdotal. A queen, Nitocris, occurs in the sixth dynasty; another, Scemiophris, in the twelfth, and other examples are found in the sculptures. On the decease of a sovereign a kind of posthumous judgment was exercised on his character and government. His embalmed body was placed in the sepulchre, and all men were permitted to bring accusations against him. Virtuous princes received a species of deification: condemned princes were debarred from sepulture.
- 2. The Priests however were, in ordinary times, the real governing body of Egypt. Their lands were exempt from tribute: their persons were greeted with servile homage; they were the sole depositaries of learning and science: and they alone were acquainted with all the formularies which in Egypt regulated nearly every action of life. Their various and incessant occupations appear even in the titles of the subdivisions of the priest-caste. "Each deity," says Herodotus (2.37), "had several priests [priestesses] and a high priest." The-chiefs or pontiffs were the judges of the land, the councillors of the sovereign, the legislators and the guardians of the great mysteries. The minor priests were prophets, inferior judges and magistrates, hierophants, hiero-grammats or sacred scribes, basilico-grammats or royal scribes, dressers and keepers of the royal and sacerdotal wardrobes, physicians, heralds, keepers of the sacred animals, architects, draughtsmen, beadles, vergers, sprinklers of water, fan bearers, &c. (Wilkinson, M. and C. vol. i. p. 238). So numerous a staff was not in the peculiar polity of Egypt altogether superfluous, neither does it seem to have been peculiarly burdensome to the nation, since it derived its support from regular taxes and from its proprietary lands. Nowhere in the ancient world was the number of temples so great as in Egypt: nowhere were there so many religious festivals ; nowhere was ordinary life so intimately blended with religion. The priest therefore was mixed up in affairs of the market, the law court, the shop, the house, in addition to his proper vocation in the temple. His life was the reverse of ascetic: in the climate of Egypt frequent ablutions, linen garments, papyrus sandals, were luxuries,--only polygamy was forbidden him. But he was enjoined to marry, and the son succeeded the father in the sacred office (Hdt. 2.143). Herodotus (comp. 2.35, 55) contradicts himself in saying that females could not fulfil sacerdotal duties,--women might be incapable of the highest offices, but both sculptures and documents prove, that they were employed in many of the minor duties connected with the temples.
- 3. The Soldiers. The whole military force of Egypt amounted to 410,000 men (Hdt. 2.165-166; Diod. 1.54). It was divided into two corps, the Calasirians and the Hermotybians. The former were the more numerous, and in the most flourishing era of Egypt, the 18th and 19th dynasties, were estimated at 250,000 men. Each of these divisions furnished a thousand men annually to perform the duty of royal body guards. During the term of their attendance they received from the king daily rations of bread, beef, and wine. When summoned to the field or to garrison duty, each soldier provided himself with the necessary arms and baggage. The principal garrisons of Egypt were on its southern and eastern borders, at Syene and Elephantine, at Hieracompolis and Eilethyas, which towns, on opposite sides of the river, commanded the Nile-valley above Thebes, and at Marea and Pelusium. The western frontier was, until Egypt stretched to the Cyrenaica, guarded sufficiently by the Libyan desert. In time of peace the troops who were not in garrisons or at court were settled in various nomes principally east of the Nile, and in the Delta; since it was in that quarter Egypt was most exposed to invasion from the pastoral Arabs or the yet more formidable nomade tribes of Assyria and Palestine. According to Herodotus (2.168), each soldier was allowed 12 arourae of land, or about six acres free from all charge or tribute, from which allotment he defrayed the cost of his arms and equipment. To the Egyptian soldier [p. 1.42]handicraft employment was forbidden, agricultural labours were enjoined. The monuments exhibit officers with recruiting parties, soldiers engaged in gymnastic exercises, and in the battle pieces, which are extremely spirited, all the arts of offensive and defensive war practised by the Egyptians are represented. The war-caste was necessarily a very important element in a state which was frequently engaged in distant conquests, and had a wide extent of territory to defend. Yet until the reigns of Sethos, when the priests invaded its privileges, and of Psammetichus, when the king encroached upon them, we find no trace of mutiny or civil war in Egypt,--a proof that the Calasirians and Hermotybians were not only well disciplined, but also, in the main, contented with their lot.
VII. Civil History.The History of Egypt is properly arranged under five eras.
- 1. Egypt under its native rulers--the Pharaonic Era. Its commencement is unknown: it closes with the conquest of the land by Cambyses in B.C. 525.
- 2. The Persian Era, from B.C. 525, to the Macedonian invasion, B.C. 332.
- 3. The Macedonian or Hellenic Era. This period is computed either from the foundation of Alexandria, in B.C. 332, or from B.C. 323, when Ptolemy, the son of Lagus, converted the satrapy of Egypt into an hereditary kingdom. This period extends to the death of Cleopatra, in B.C. 30.
- 4. The Roman Era, from the surrender of Alexandria to Augustus, in B.C. 30, to the capture of that city by the Khalif Omar in A.D. 640.
- 5. The Mahommedan Era, from A.D. 640 to the present time.

Spring break fishing hotspots abound
It's official – as of Tuesday, March 20, Old Man Winter is history, and spring will be upon us. But hey, who needs to wait for the official spring opener? We're looking at a run of really fine weather for Southeast Texas, and that translates into some excellent fishing options.
All the rain we had last weekend did one very big thing – it flushed out the Sabine and Neches rivers. All the trout and reds that had moved upstream during the drought (which is pretty much over for this area of Texas) have moved back into Sabine Lake. But there is good news and bad news associated with all that runoff from several inches of rain during the past few weeks. Sabine Lake is going fresh and is about as muddy at it gets. How has that affected the fishing?
"It's good, and getting better," said guide Jerry Norris. "We needed a lot of fresh water to move the trout and reds back into the lake. We've got that, and the bite right now is good over deep shell with jigs bumped on bottom. The best bite has been in 7 to 12 feet of water."
But there is another problem thanks to all that rain – mosquitoes.
"I had a group of fishermen meet me at the Sabine Pass Marina a few days ago and we just about choked on mosquitoes," said Norris. "We couldn't even breathe. What I'm doing now is leaving the dock about an hour or so after daylight. That way most of the mosquitoes are gone."
If you want to catch big fish, as in black drum, head to the Sabine jetties. That's where lots of hard fighting drum can be caught on half of a fresh crab or a hunk of mullet. The black drum are mixed in with bull reds. Actually, you'll do best on bull reds in the surf along McFaddin Beach and Bolivar Peninsula. That's where anglers fishing fresh chunks of mullet are taking plenty of reds up to about 35 pounds. The good thing about the spring run of bull reds is that they bite best in a rough and muddy surf. It might not be pretty, but it's definitely loaded with reds.
A friend called the other day and said he and his girlfriend had caught a cooler full of blue crabs while fishing along the bank of Texas Bayou. A couple of other good crabbing areas are just across from the RV park on Pleasure Island and on the north side of the revetment wall that runs from the yacht club and up toward the mouth of the Neches River.
Flounder are just now beginning to show up on Sabine Lake. For the best results, fish jigs tipped with a dime-sized piece of peeled shrimp at the mouth of a bayou on a falling tide. For the time being, Rollover Pass on Bolivar Peninsula is still open. That's where any moving tide can produce some pretty good numbers of flounder and reds.
Don't forget about the Walter Umphrey Fishing Pier about 100 yards from Causeway Bait and Tackle. The lights are now working at this public pier. It's been completely rebuilt, is open 24-7 and it's free. It's an excellent place to catch flounder right about now. Trout and reds can be caught under the lights at night. Live mullet and assorted tackle, as well as a fishing report, can be acquired at the Causeway bait camp.
On the freshwater fishing scene, the hot white bass bite on the Sabine River is history for the time being. Guide Bill Fondren says the water is up so high they can't find white bass. He says that more than likely they have moved up the creeks to spawn. He also says that the river should settle down within a few days. That's when the white bass action will kick back into gear.
The big crappie bite on Sam Rayburn is still going strong. The only problem is that the lake has come up a foot and half this week. That's got crappie scattered over hydrilla. But that rising water is really going to perk up the movement of bass to the shallows to spawn on both Rayburn and Toledo Bend. Right now some of the best catches of largemouth bass are in 3 to 5 feet of water in the creeks. Top lures are jigs, cranks and red or crawfish colored Traps.
As you can see, the fishing options are many, and for the next four to five weeks, it's only going to get better.

CANANDAIGUA — A sergeant with the Ontario County Sheriff's Office testified Tuesday in the trial of Rose Chase that when he entered the basement of her home last December, he smelled an odor of something decaying.
Sgt. James Alexander testified in Ontario County Court that on Dec. 14, 2012, he was in charge of processing the scene of the Mott Road home of the Stanley woman charged with causing the death of her husband, Adam Chase, in June 2012.
Alexander testified that when he entered the residence, he "could see it was quite dirty. A lot of things were strewn about. It was just in a state of disarray."
He testified that a substance known as Luminol was applied to an approximately 2-square-foot area at the base of a staircase leading from the basement up to the first floor, as well as to another area in the basement.
Deputy Michael Rago — who also testified Tuesday — said that Luminol reacts to an enzyme in the blood and can show where blood may have been on a surface. He said the substance is applied in darkness and glows in an area when there is a reaction.
Alexander testified that this reaction occurred in the location at the base of the staircase, and that several small specks showed up at the second location. He noted, however, that some substances — such as animal feces or urine — can trigger a false positive.
Alexander further testified that samples were taken in the basement to determine if there was evidence of blood or biological material. Alexander said that, to his knowledge, the samples were sent to a laboratory for testing, and none of them came back positive.
Alexander also testified that on Aug. 10, 2012, he responded to the Mott Road home to collect several items, including two computers. He said he did not go into the basement at that time.
Alexander and Rago were among eight officers with the sheriff's office who testified Tuesday in the trial. Testimony is scheduled to continue Wednesday.
Rose was indicted in February on the charges of second-degree murder, tampering with physical evidence and endangering the welfare of a child.
The indictment alleges that Rose "intentionally caused the death of Adam Chase" on or about June 14, 2012. It further alleges that Rose transported Mr. Chase's body from their residence to 4675 Hagerty Road in Potter and concealed it there before ultimately burning the body at that location.
Rose faces a maximum of 25 years to life in prison if convicted of second-degree murder, said Ontario County District Attorney R. Michael Tantillo.

Four-run eighth sends Cards past Royals
St. Louis, MO – Daniel Descalsco broke a tie game with a pinch-hit, two-run single in the bottom of the eighth inning, and the St. Louis Cardinals scored four times in the frame to rally for a 5-3 decision over the reeling Kansas City Royals at Busch Stadium.
Carlos Beltran ignited the comeback with a solo home run, with David Freese adding an RBI single prior to Descalso's hit to help the Cardinals to their seventh victory in eight games. That includes a pair of triumphs over the snakebit Royals in St. Louis on Monday and Tuesday to kick off the I-70 home- and-home series.
"Once we were able to get into their bullpen we were able to take advantage of those guys and get some big runs," said Beltran.
Matt Holliday also homered for the Cardinals, while Allen Craig and Yadier Molina each finished 3-for-4 with a run scored.
Randy Choate (1-0) recorded the final out of the top of the eighth to collect the win, with Edward Mujica tossing a perfect ninth to notch his 17th save in as many opportunities this season.
Aaron Crow (0-1) was saddled with the loss, the eighth in a row for Kansas City, after being rocked for four runs and five hits while getting just two outs in the eighth.
Alex Gordon went 3-for-5 and scored once to pace the Royals offensively. Starting pitcher Luis Mendoza had an RBI single in addition to holding St. Louis to one run over 5 2/3 effective innings.
"It was just one of those games where we thought we were going to break through with some big innings, but we just couldn't get those hits," said Kansas City manager Ned Yost.
Lance Lynn worked seven frames for the Cardinals and scattered eight hits while permitting a pair of runs.
With the Cardinals down 3-1, Beltran started the eighth-inning uprising by greeting Crow with a shot deep into the St. Louis bullpen, and Craig and Molina later reached on back-to-back one-out singles to put the go-ahead run on base. Freese then delivered a hard smash through the left side to plate Craig and tie the game at 3-3.
After Jon Jay was intentionally walked to load the bases, Crow struck out Pete Kozma looking before Descalso stepped in and shot the first pitch he saw up the middle to break the deadlock.
Both starters were sharp early, with Lynn retiring the first nine Kansas City hitters before Gordon singled to open the fourth with the game still scoreless. A double down the right-field line from Alcides Escobar then put men on second and third for Lorenzo Cain, who lofted a fly ball deep enough for Gordon to slide in ahead of Beltran's throw home.
The Cardinals had a chance to knot the score in the home half after Craig doubled and Molina followed with a single, but the Royals' David Lough fired a bullet to the plate to gun down Craig and keep it a 1-0 game.
Lough made a contribution at the plate the following inning by hustling out a triple to begin the fifth. Lynn kept him stranded by getting the next two batters, but Mendoza came through with a single for his first career RBI and a 2-0 Royals' edge.
St. Louis finally got on the board when Holliday socked a 3-1 pitch from Mendoza well over the center-field wall to lead off the bottom of the sixth, though Kansas City was able to regain a two-run advantage in the top of the eighth.
Mike Moustakas and Lough recorded consecutive singles against Seth Maness to place runners at the corners with one out, with George Kottaras' soft grounder enabling Moustakas to trot in from third for a 3-1 lead.
Game Notes
Moustakas went 2-for-4 in his return to the Royals' lineup after missing three game with a quadriceps injury ... Freese's RBI single extended his hitting streak to nine games, while teammate Matt Carpenter is batting .382 (13- for-34) during a seven-game tear ... Gordon is hitting .404 (44-for-109) on the road this season, tops among American League batters ... The Royals have managed just two home runs over their last 14 contests, during which they've won only twice.

(AP) – Israel's parliamentary election left the two main blocs nearly deadlocked with 61 seats on the right and 59 seats in the center-left, based on complete official vote counts.
_Likud-Yisrael Beitenu (31 seats): Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu's Likud teamed up with Yisrael Beitenu for the election. Likud is known for opposition to compromise with the Palestinians, Yisrael Beitenu represents immigrants from the former Soviet Union and takes a hard line on the Palestinian issue.
_Jewish Home (12 seats): Representing modern Orthodox Jews, the party's leader, high-tech millionaire Naftali Bennett, appealed to both Orthodox and secular Israelis.
_Shas (11 seats): Represents Orthodox Jews of Middle East origin. Its followers tend to be hawkish, working class, and the party traditionally has been a Likud ally.
_United Torah Judaism (7 seats): The party represents ultra-Orthodox Jews of European ancestry. It has served in both dovish and hawkish governments.
_Yesh Atid (19 seats): Founded by former TV personality Yair Lapid, the new party represents secular, middle-class interests. Yesh Atid becomes the second-largest party in parliament.
_Labor (15 seats): Led by former broadcast journalist Shelly Yachimovich, Labor emphasized domestic issues over its traditional moderate approach toward the Palestinians.
_Israeli Arab parties (11 seats): Three parties represent the interests of Israel's minority Arab citizens. They identify with the Palestinian cause.
_Hatnua (6 seats): Former Foreign Minister Tzipi Livni formed the party to present an alternative to voters distressed by the stalemate in peacemaking.
_Meretz (6 seats): Traditional dovish, secular party known for supporting concessions for peace with the Palestinians and human rights causes.
_Kadima (2 seats): Largest party in outgoing parliament, broke apart and appears to have barely made the minimum for seats in the new parliament.

Frequently Asked Questions
Before You Buy
Digital Visual Interface (DVI) is a video display interface that can contain different types of signaling, based on the application. DVI cables and ports are created using different connector types to identify what application they are intended to be used in. The connector types are identified by the number of pins on the DVI connector. DVI comes in the following five different connector types:
- DVI-A (17 pin).
- DVI-D Single Link (19 pin).
- DVI-D Dual Link (25 pin).
- DVI-I Single Link (23 pin).
- DVI-I Dual Link (29 pin).
Single and Dual link DVI indicate the maximum resolution capabilities of the video source or video destination. The maximum resolutions are Single Link (1920 x 1080 @ 60Hz) and Dual Link (2560 x 1600 @ 60Hz).
Note: The maximum resolution of your video source and video destination are ultimately determined by the technical specifications of the devices. The connector type is not a definitive indicator of the maximum resolution.
DVI-A carries only analog (for example, VGA) with no digital component. DVI-D carries only digital video (for example, HDMI) with no analog component. DVI-I combines DVI-A and DVI-D connections to include both analog and digital components. A DVI-I port may be on either your video source or display, but whether or not a display carries either or both analog and digital sources depends on the technical specifications of your device.
USB-C is a type of USB connector that is capable of supporting the following:
- Data transfer speeds up to 10Gbps, if you use USB 3.1.
- Bi-directional power delivery up to 100W, if both the USB host connection and the device support it.
- Alternate modes, which deliver different types of data at different speeds. For example, DisplayPort Alternate Mode (DP Alt Mode).
If using Thunderbolt 3 over USB-C, the connection is capable of additional features. For example, Thunderbolt 3 is capable of 40Gbps of total bandwidth. For more information, refer to the following FAQ: https://www.startech.com/faq/thunderbolt-3-port-capabilities.
Not all USB-C ports or devices are capable of supporting all of the features listed above, or all of the features at the maximum capabilities. If you require a specific USB-C feature, your USB host connection, cables, and device must all support the feature that you require. For more information about whether your components support specific USB-C features, refer to the information provided by the manufacturers.
This USB-C device requires that all of the following components support alternate modes:
- The USB-C host connection (for example, a computer and its port)
- The USB-C cable
- The USB-C device (for example, a hard drive docking station)
If your host device includes a Thunderbolt™ 3 connection, this USB-C device will work with your host device.
For more information about the modes that your setup components support, refer to the information provided by the manufacturers.
This device is plug and play. It does not use any drivers, and does not require any setup tasks other than plugging in the source (for example, a computer) and the destination (for example, a monitor).
When you troubleshoot issues with a video adapter, there are some quick tests that you can complete to rule out potential problems. You can test to make sure that the following components are working correctly and are not the source of the issue:
Video cables
Video adapter
Video source (such as a DVD player or computer)
Video destination (such as a monitor or projector)
To test your setup components, try the following:
Use the cable, video adapter, video source, and video destination in another setup to see if the problem is with the components or the setup.
Use a different cable, video adapter, video source, and video destination in your setup to see if the problem persists. Ideally, you should test a component that you know works in another setup.
When you test your cables, it is recommended that you do the following:
Test each cable individually.
Use short cables when you are testing.
When you test the video source and video destination, it is recommended that you do the following:
Remove the video adapter from your setup and test to make sure that the video source and video destination work together without the video adapter.
Test to make sure that the video source and video destination work together at the resolution that you want to use.
Note: In order for your setup to work properly, the video source, adapter, and destination all need to support the resolution that you are using.
The error "Out of Range" normally means that the resolution being output by the computer is not compatible with the display. Try lowering the resolution to see if that helps resolve the issue. You may need to connect another monitor or restart the computer or source to accomplish this.

Randy Travis makes first public appearance since stroke
Country legend RANDY TRAVIS made his first public appearance since suffering a stroke last July (13) and he appears to be on the mend after his harrowing ordeal.
The 54-year-old singer was admitted to a hospital for idiopathic cardiomyopathy and was put on life support for 48 hours.
During that time, Travis suffered a stroke and had to undergo emergency neurosurgery, but he soon was transferred to a physical therapy facility to focus on restoring functions such as walking and talking.
Nearly six months after the medical scare, Travis was in good spirits as he attended a charity concert on Friday (07Feb14) in Dallas, Texas.
Fellow country singer Neal McCoy took to Facebook.com to post a photo of himself with Travis, who is shown grinning from ear to ear while posing with his pal.
McCoy writes, "Randy Travis and I recently backstage before I went on, at a Smiles For Life concert in Dallas Texas. Pretty honored this was Randy's first time out and his first time to have Cowboy boots on since his illness. Gettin Better!!!"

CHARLESTON, S.C. (Dec. 6, 2010) -- Still stinging from a last-second conference loss at USC Upstate, the ETSU men's basketball team will look to regain its footing and momentum when the Buccaneers invade the Carolina First Arena Tuesday evening for a television showdown with former Southern Conference rival College of Charleston. Tip is set for 7 p.m. and the game will air on CSS.
For the Bucs (3-3), the momentum they gained with a win at Atlantic 10 Conference foe Dayton last week was erased on Sunday, when Upstate hit a layup with 3.6 seconds left to give the Spartans a 60-59 upset win on their home floor in Spartanburg, S.C. However, there is no time to rest for ETSU, which finds itself in the midst of a daunting month-long, eight-game road trip.
For more on Tuesday's game, click on the game notes link above or read the game notes below. For more on ETSU men's basketball, visit ETSUBucs.com and click on the men's hoops link.
We are "ETSU"
The ETSU Department of Intercollegiate Athletics would like to ask both the print and broadcast media to honor our request to be called "ETSU" ... East Tennessee State in first reference is acceptable, but subsequent references should be ETSU ... On TV graphics please use ETSU ... Our nickname is the Buccaneers, but Bucs is also acceptable.
Buc bits
The ETSU men's basketball team only added to its rich history of success during the 2009-10 season, capturing its second straight Atlantic Sun Conference Championship and earning the program's ninth trip all-time to the NCAA Tournament ... Posting the program's fourth 20-win season in the past seven years, the Bucs overcame multiple challenges during the season before dropping Mercer in the A-Sun finals ... The Bucs were led by a team of "role" players that included forward Tommy Hubbard (Boston), guard Justin Tubbs (Trussville, Ala.), guard Micah Williams (Manchester), guard Adam Sollazzo (Tampa, Fla.), post Isiah Brown (Miami, Fla.), and post J.C. Ward (Marietta, Ga.) ... Hubbard finished the year as a second team All ASun player after leading the Bucs in both scoring (13.9 ppg) and rebounding (8.2 rpg), and was named to the league's All-Tournament squad ... Meanwhile, Williams finished the year on a tear, scoring in double figures in 11 straight games, including a 32-point effort against Campbell en route to being named the A-Sun Tournament MVP ... Only losing senior guard Jocolby Davis off the roster from 2009-10, the Bucs will add Smith back to the mix after receiving a medical redshirt a year ago, and a trio of incoming recruits will also add to the talent pool.
The series versus College of Charleston
The Bucs and Cougars shared many hard fought battles during their time in the Southern Conference throughout the 1990s and early this decade ... In all, the Bucs trail the series 4-7 ... Some of ETSU's most recent wins came during the 2002-03 season when the Bucs defeated Charleston in the regular season and in the semifinals of the SoCon tournament en route to the NCAA Tournament ... ETSU also won the last meeting between the two, a 77-71 win back on Nov. 26, 2009.
Last time out against College of Charleston
JOHNSON CITY, Tenn. (Nov. 26, 2009) - Junior guard Justin Tubbs (Trussville, Ala.) scored a career high 29 points and the ETSU men's basketball team held off a late College of Charleston rally to drop the Cougars 77-71 in non-conference play Wednesday night inside Memorial Center. ... A crowd of 3,105 looked on as the Bucs led by as many as 12 points multiple times during the game, but the Cougars used a 9-2 run late in the second half to pull within three points at 68-65 with 3:09 left in the regulation. However, from there the Bucs hit enough free throws to hold off their former Southern Conference rival, a team that is picked to win the SoCon this season. ... The Bucs did dominate the glass and hold the Cougars' shooting attack in check. Meanwhile, along with Tubbs' scoring ETSU got a double-double from Hubbard with 13 points and 11 rebounds, while Ward provided 11 points and five boards in just 21 minutes of action. ... Statistically, the Bucs only turned the ball over just 10 times in the game and committed just nine fouls in 40 minutes of action. ETSU improved somewhat at the foul line hitting 63 percent (15-of-24) from the line, and held the Cougars to a 26 percent clip from 3-point range. ... In the first half, ETSU blitzed to a 7-0 lead behind Tubbs' pure shooting stroke and built that advantage to as many as 12 at 36-24 with just over a minute left before the break. Tubbs ultimately finished with 20 points in the first half and ETSU led 40-30 at the break. ... The second half saw the Cougars cut the lead to 46-40 on a 3-pointer by Andrew Goudelock with 13:26 left in regulation, but the Bucs once again pulled away to make it 66-56 with just under six minutes left. However, the Charleston fullcourt press confused the Bucs from there on out, allowing CofC to rally and pull to within three at 68-65. ETSU withstood the charge though, outscoring Charleston 9-6 the rest of the way. ... Charleston - the preseason favorite in the SoCon - got a team high 23 from Goudelock.
Last time out
JOHNSON CITY, Tenn. (Dec. 5, 2010) - USC Upstate forward Chalmers Rogers picked the perfect time to score his only two points of the game, laying in a basket with three seconds remaining to give the Spartans a 60-59 win over ETSU in the Atlantic Sun Conference opener for both teams at the G.B. Hodge Center. ... On a day when the Spartans were dedicating their $4 million renovation of the G.B. Hodge Center, the Buccaneers struggled offensively throughout the contest. Shooting just 33.8 percent for the game, the Bucs still took 19 more shots from the field than Upstate and outrebounded the Spartans 48-34. ... However, the only statistic that really matters did not go the Bucs' way - the score. ... Despite the offensive woes, the Bucs managed to tie the game at 58-58 on a pair of free throws by junior guard Micah Williams (Manchester) with 1:17 left in the game. From there, Upstate (2-6 overall, 1-0 A-Sun) turned the ball over at the top of the key and junior guard Adam Sollazzo (Tampa) raced to the other end. ... Sollazzo was fouled on the play and hit one-of-two free throws to give the Bucs only their second lead of the game. But more importantly than the lead, sophomore forward J.C. Ward (Marietta) made an important hustle play, tapping the ball back out to Sollazzo and giving the Bucs another possession with 50 seconds left in the game. The Bucs missed on that scoring opportunity though, giving Upstate a shot at the win with 13.5 seconds left. ... Rogers' heroics came after Upstate guard Carter Cook went up for an apparent shot, but lost the ball. Even though it appeared to be heading out of bounds, freshman guard Torrey Craig managed to grab it and flip to Rogers for the game winner. ... Craig's hustle play was just an exclamation point on a great game, as he posted a career best 18 points and enjoyed a double-double thanks to 15 rebounds. He was joined in double figures with 12 points by Josh Chavis.
Plans, trains and automobiles await Bucs
The Bucs find themselves in the midst of a month-long road trip that will see the team play a total of eight games away from the ETSU/MSHA Atheltic Center ... Trips to Dayton, Ohio, Charleston, S.C., Starkville, Miss., Oxford, Miss., and Cancun, Mexico await ... In all, the Bucs will travlel 3,776 miles by bus and 1,906 miles by plane during this time ... In total, it will amount to 5,682 miles and 67 hours/33 minutes of travel time.
Bartow among best in the country over last five years
When looking at coaches across the country, ETSU head coach Murry Bartow stands among a select group ... Of those coaches that have been at their current school for at least five years, only 24 have averaged better than 20 wins a season ... That list includes coaches such as Dayton's Brian Gregory, Syracuse's Jim Boeheim, UConn's Jim Calhoun, Florida's Billy Donovan, Michigan State's Tom Izzo, Duke's Mike Kryzewski, Louisville's Rick Pitino, Kansas' Bill Self, Maryland's Gary Williams and North Carolina's Roy Williams ... The list also includes Bartow, who is average 20.2 wins a year since 2005-06.
ETSU duo chasing
1,000-point mark
While senior Mike Smith (Vandalia, Mo.) is already a member of the 1,000-point club, two other seniors have outside shots at making it to the group:
Name Current Points
Tommy Hubbard 567
Micah Williams 754
With those point totals, Hubbard would have to average just over 14 points a game this season to reach 1,000, while Williams would need to average 10 points a game to reach the mark.
Defense shines despite offensive woes
While much has been made of the Bucs poor offensive effort against Murray State, the squad's defensive effort was superb and encouraging ... Utilizing a new 3-2 zone, the Bucs held Murray State to just 50 points, which is the second time this "calendar" year the Bucs have held a team to less than 50 -- the last time coming Feb. 25, 2010 at North Florida (61-46) ... The Bucs are currently allowing 63.5 points per game in six contests, which includes allowing just 60 points against Tennessee Tech ... Against the Racers, the Bucs also forced 16 turnovers, out-rebounded Murray State 39-30, and held them to 37.8 percent shooting.
Bucs counting on "experience edge"
If the Bucs will be looking for any edge this season, they will find it in the experience department ... All told, the Bucs have 33 years of previous college experience on its 15-man roster, a group that includes players with multiple years of experience like three fifth-year seniors (Mike Smith, Micah Williams and Justin Tubbs), and a fourth-year junior (Isiah Brown).
Smith happy to be back on the floor with Bucs
One year ago, the Bucs were forced to play all put four games without the services of guard Mike Smith (Vandalia, Mo.) due to an injury � However, Smith is back and brings his 1,253 career points with him � Without Smith, the Bucs struggled to score points last season (69.3 points per game) and relied heavily on its defensive efforts to win games � This year, the Bucs hope to continue to hold team's down offensively, while returning to their normal "high scoring" ways ... In his return game against Kentucky, Smith netted 15 points, and he recently followed up that performance with a career high 26 points against Tennessee Tech
ETSU "only" A-Sun team picked among nation's
best "Prestige" programs
Since the beginning of the modern era for NCAA Division I-A basketball - marked by the expansion of the NCAA Tournament field to 64 teams in 1984-85 - the ETSU men's basketball program ranks in the Top 30 percent of the 300 programs that were eligible for the postseason at that time, this according to ESPN.com's "Prestige" ranking released back in 2008 ... Since that time, the Bucs have only added to their list of prestigious honors � The Buccaneers, who have enjoyed nine NCAA Tournament trips, one NIT berth, 10 20-win seasons, and a slew of conference regular season and tournament championships since 1984-85, ranked tied for 82nd out of 300 teams, meaning they were in the Top 27 percent of schools making the list. ETSU was ranked ahead of every current Atlantic Sun Conference team, as well as former Southern Conference rivals Appalachian State, Western Carolina, Georgia Southern and UNC Greensboro. In addition, the Bucs ranked ahead of SEC schools such as Tennessee, Vanderbilt, South Carolina, Mississippi State, Georgia, Mississippi and Auburn.
, as well as other major programs such as Virginia Tech, Notre Dame, DePaul, Bradley, Clemson, California and Florida State.

In this edition of Makeup Wars we are talking about how we pack when we travel. This one is pretty bittersweet for me because, I don't travel much any more – mostly just to New York a couple of times a year, except last September when I went to my BFF's wedding and then straight to NYC for Fashion Week. So, of course, I take my best stuff because I want to look amazing for the wedding, and I always go a bit out for my NYC trips anyway. Welp, this was the one in a million trip where the worst happens – my suitcase is stolen, with my entire makeup and toiletries bags in it. Normally, I carry my makeup bag with me, but I didn't have room in my carry-on this time and "what's the worst that could happen?". Sigh.
Anyway, I haven't needed to travel since then, so I haven't even gotten around to replacing the toiletries bag, let alone get my 3floz on. So, I'm going to take this opportunity to make myself think about what I can get to be ready for the next time I take a trip. Now, I have always tended to keep a few staples in the bag, and just filling it with what I am using on the regular at that time, but one thing I do tend to avoid is taking any more liquids than I need – not for any security issues, but because I *hate* cleaning up spills (*even the little bit I do take, I stick in plastic baggies). Also, I tend to overpack (*duh!), so this will be a good reminder to keep it simple, stupid.
Bath & Body Works Travel Lotion: I regularly change out what scents I pick up, but my latest fave was this Coconut Lime Breeze. These small bottles are just right for daily, all-over application for a long weekend trip.
Lush Solid Shampoo: When I travel, I am usually only gone long enough to wash my hair once, maaaaybe twice, so I never figure it's worth it to take two bottles of product, when I can just have this handy 2 in 1 bar in my bag, and the Godiva scent is so good.
Q-Tips Travel Pack: No real explanation needed. And they also really come in handy when I forget that one eyeshadow brush I really meant to bring with me.
Secret Clinical Strength Travel Size Deodorant: I'm not a regular user of the clinical strength deo when I am home, but, when I travel I generally am on the go from early morning to late at night. This keeps me from having an issue like when I wear my regular natural deodorant that tends to shut off at the end of the work day, and needs reapplication before I go out for the evening.
Pacifica Tuscan Blood Orange Solid Perfume: There is nothing worse than having a perfume bottle break in transit. The scent lingers all over everything, even long after the fact. So, I take the easy way out and travel with perfume solids and this Blood Orange one is *ridiculous* in an amazing way. Plus, it's a tiny case so I can throw it in my bag and reapply as wanted throughout the day/night.
Mally Beauty "In The Buff" Palette: Okay, who is surprised I am including this? I better not see any hands going up. 😉 Seriously, this has my eyeshadow primer and any combination of earth tone colors that can do anything from day to night for me. The real question is why *wouldn't* I include this?
Gillette Venus Breeze Razor: I know that I have mentioned that I like my all-in-one Schick Intuition Razor, but it's a smidge too bulky for my travel bag. So, I keep one of the smaller Breeze razors in there, and don't have to worry about packing shaving cream for the trip, either.
Aveda Rosemary Mint Bath Bar: No body washes for me when I travel – it's all about the solid bar of minty heaven that is the Rosemary Mint bar. This stuff is so good that I have had to cut a bar in half to share because I didn't want them using MY bar. Breathing it in during a hot (*never warm, unless I am running out of hot water, because I am a rebel) is like a mini trip to the spa, it's just that soothing.
So, those are the things I am going to have to resupply a travel toiletries bag with to get ready for my next trip. What do you keep ready to go in your travel bag? Or do you pack anew for each trip?
And don't forget to see what these other fab ladies take with them when they travel, too:

Electronics maker Toshiba is ratcheting up competition with the Blu-ray high-definition video camp again, announcing its third generation of its HD-A HD DVD players for the U.S. market. The three new units are timed to hit retailers just as the end-of-year holiday buying season ramps up, and all three units will be priced under under $500, and with low-end pricing starting at just $299.99.
Keeping up with Toshiba's non-stop claims that the HD DVD format is dominating the high-definition market, the VP of Marketing for Toshiba's Digital A/V Group, Jodi Sally, stated: "With a majority market share in unit sales of next generation DVD players, consumers are speaking loud and clear, and they are adopting HD DVD as their HD movie format of choice. Because of the proven manufacturing efficiencies of the HD DVD format, Toshiba can bring this level of innovation in technology to a new generation of players with cutting-edge functionality at affordable prices."
At the low end, the HD-A3 will carry a $299.99 price tag, and feature 1080i output, while the HD-A30 ($399.99) and the HD-A35 ($499.99) offer 1080p/24 output. The HD-A30 and A35 will also offer HDMI-CEC—which Toshiba is calling "CE-Link"—to enable two-way control between the HD DVD player and a television. At the high end, the A35 will support Deep Color, 5.1 analog surround output, 7.1 audio output via HDMI. All three units will sport a slim new chassis design just under 60 mm thick, with a high-gloss black acrylic face. All three new players will support Internet-enabled interactive content.
Toshiba says the A30 should land at retailers in September, with the A3 and A35 following along in October. Of course, as the holiday season gets underway and the Blu-ray camp fires back, consumers can reasonably expect promotions and possibly discount pricing to sweeten deals on both sides of the format war.
