page 819 note 1 The worship of Jāhō alone, unsupported by other evidence, would be no absolute proof of monotheism. The name occurs in old Semitic characters on a coin from Gaza, recently shown by Mr. G. F. Hill in a paper on “Some Palestinian Cults in the Græco-Roman Age” read before the British Academy, and shortly to be published.

page 822 note 1 But not in the sense of “dogs” as “humble slaves of the gods”, as Cooke (Text Book of North Semitic Inscriptions, p. 68) suggests.

page 823 note 1 The word (1. 2) has been left unexplained by Professor Sayoe. It can only be the imperative Pe'al of “to puncture” (but not “to cut” as Dr. Daiches suggests in PSBA., January, 1912), and probably refers to the practice of pricking small holes in the flattened dough of the “bread” mentioned in the same line. If this be so, the first two lines relate to the preparation of the maşşōth. The custom of pricking holes in the dough is still observed, in order to allow the heat of the oven to penetrate the dough as rapidly as possible and to bake it before it has time to become leavened.
