Chapter 571: 1. _Ahi_ ⁂⁂⁂⁂⁂, the _Striker_ is one of the names

of Horus, who in the inscriptions of Benihassan is called ⁂⁂⁂⁂⁂⁂, “Horus who striketh down men.” The notion of striking was in later days confined to the beating of the sistrum. Priestly persons bore the title of _Ahi_ as representatives of the youthful Horus, son of Hathor. See _Proc. Soc. Bibl. Arch._, XII, p. 460, on “The Sun-stroke in Egyptian.” ------------------------------------
