After the conq= uest of the Kassi and of Ellipi (Ispahan), Sennacherib invaded Palestine, B.C. 701, captured Zidon and other Phenician cities, took Askelon and its king Zidka, obliged the revolters in Ekron to receive back their king Padiah (= who had been kept a prisoner in Jerusalem by Hezekiah), defeated the Egyptian= and Ethiopian forces at Eltakeh, and overran Judaea, taking forty-six fortifi= ed cities, and large quantities of cattle and treasure, and carrying 200,150 persons into captivity. Hezekiah sent thirty talents of gold and 800 tale= nts of silver, besides other treasures, in the hope of making peace; Sennache= rib, however, gave portions of the Judaean territory to the Philistine princes, and sent a force to besiege = Jerusalem. This having been destroyed (2 Kings xix. 35), Sennacherib returned to Nineveh, and in the following year (B.C. 700), drove Merodach-Baladan out= of Babylonia to Nagitu, at the mouth of the Eulaeus, overthrew Suzub, who had revolted in Southern Babylonia, and made his own eldest son, Assur-nadin-suma, king of Babylon. The tribes in the North, from Lake Van= to Cilicia, were next reduced, and in B.C. 697 Sennacherib had a fleet built= and manned by Phenicians, in the Persian Gulf, with which he destroyed Nagitu. A revolt had meanwhile broken out in Babylonia, under Suzub, but it was soon repressed= , and Erech sacked. About B.C. 695, Sennacherib finished his great palace at Nineveh, and two= or three years later overthrew the combined forces of Suzub and Ummanminan of Elam, in a decisive and bloody battle at Khalule. In B.C. 691 Babylon was besi= eged and razed to the ground. In December, B.C. 681, Sennacherib was murdered by h= is two eldest sons, Adrammelech and Nergal-sharezer. (1876c1)

$H Sepi. Egypt

Sepi. "Dismembered." A title of the deity Osiris, under which he was venerated during his dismemberment by the evil deity Set. (1876c1)

$H Sepia. Painting

Sepia. A warm, brown= , water‑colour pigment obtained from the ink‑bag of t= he cuttlefish. (See ROMAN SEPIA.)(1883m1)

Sepia. (Paint.) The sepia used by water‑colour draughtsmen is obtained from the bladder of a small mollusc. Its tone var= ies in warmth according as it is natural or coloured. Natural sepia yields a reddish‑brown tint; artificially coloured sepia gives the same tint= , of a somewhat vinous shade. Many sepia drawings ‑ as the monochrome sketches, in which sepia is used, are called ‑ were produced about = the year 1830. These sketches, however, which were always somewhat cold in aspect, have had their day. The majority of them, indeed, are of a most distressing dryness; yet many celebrated artists, such as the Frenchmen <= span class=3DSpellE>Charlet and Delacroix, have produced admirable sepi= as. Some painters of the present day use sepia or bistro, which is of nearly = the same tone, in the execution of washed drawings, rapidly thrown off, in wh= ich, by laying on the sepia in broad masses, effects of light may be easily obtained. Then, again, the warm tone of bistro or sepia is used in taking proofs of engravings, which, if printed in black, would have too violent = an effect. Such, for instance, are the proofs of Turner's celebrated Liber Studiorum. In a similar colour are printed the facsimiles of ancient works and the reproduction of pen‑and‑ink drawings, or of old texts, which = have become mellow with age, and the yellowish tone of which is rendered exact= ly with sepia or bistre.(1891a1)

Serapeum, Egyp. (F"D"B,Ã@<[=3Dsarapeion]). A = general term for sepulchral monuments in Egypt, but more especially that of = Memphis. (Bosc.)(1883m1)

Serapeum. (Arch.) A name given = by the ancient Romans to temples of Serapis as well = as to the Egyptian monuments in Me= mphis and Alexandria.(1891a1)

Serapeum. The great temp= le at Memphis where th= e sacred bull Apis was buried in a very large sarcophagus surrounded with funereal tablets of the various priests who died during his Apis-ship. From these tablets, several hundred of which were lately discovered by Mariette Bey, some important chronological data have been obtained. (1876c1)

Serapeum. This name is incorrectly given to the A= pis mausoleum at Sakkâra. The Serapeum proper was the temple built over= the site of the excavated tombs, of which the very few remains are covered wi= th sand. The ruins were discovered by Mariette in 1860. The word is a combination of the two Egyptian words - Osiris-Apis, a combination of whi= ch the Greeks made their god Serapis (q.v.). The huge vaults opened by Mariette consist of three parts, one which originally contained the bulls of the period from Amen-hetep III. to the = XXth Dynasty, another those of XXIInd to XXVth Dynasties, and the third part t= hose from the reign of Psammetichus= I. (XXVIth Dynasty) to the time= of the later Ptolemies. Thus the burials cover a period of about 1450 years, i.e. from about 1500 B.C. to 50 B.C.

Only the third part is open to the publ= ic, the two first being covered with sand. This part consists of one long gal= lery excavated in the rock, and some shorter ones. On either side of the long gallery are deep pits in which are the enormous sarcophagi. These are monoliths of red or black granite, or limestone, the average measurements being - length, 13 ft., width, 8 ft., height, 11 ft. Mariette found the covers of most of the sarcophagi pushed aside and the contents gone. Of t= he twenty-four that are there, only three bore any inscription.

The Serapeum or Serapeion at Alexandria was a temple of Serapis founded by Ptolemy Soter, which was s= aid to he only surpassed in splendour by the Capitol at Rome. It was destroyed by order of Theodosius in A.D. 389.(1902b1)

$H Seraph (pl. Seraphim)= .

Heb. (See ANGELS, CHERUBIM.)

The Seraph's head in Heraldry, is usually delineated with six wings, two above and two below, which cross e= ach other, and one on each side of the head." (Fairholt.)(1883m1)

$H Serapis. Egypt

Serapis, i.e. Osiris-Apis, or Ausar Hapi. This god is a combination = of the Apis with Osiris,= and was introduced into Eg= ypt by the Ptolemies. He is accounted to be the s= econd son of Ptah, and is represented with a bull's= head surmounted by a disk and uraeus. His worship extended all over the kingdom, and was very popular under the Roman domination.(1902b1)

Serapis. An Egypto-Grecian deity who was made out of the deifie= d dead Apis when assimilated to Osiris as Osir-Api. This worship suddenly arose into importance in the time of the Ptolemies and h= as no analogue in Archaic mythology. (1876c1)

$H Serdab. Egypt

<= /o:p>

--- $H Se= rpents. Egypt

As with all early civilizations the cult of serpents enters largely into Egyptian religion. Large numbers of them appear on tomb walls, some of ev= il portent, but perhaps as many of good. They were enemies of the sun-god, opposing his progress during his journey through the underworld through t= he twelve hours of night, and as such Bes and Ta= -urt are their foes, and are often seen strangling t= hem. In the tomb of Seti I., at = Thebes, many scenes with serpents are depicted. In one the ithyphallic god, Nehebka, in the form of a serpent with arms and leg= s, opposes the progress of the solar bark in which is H= orus standing upon a winged snake. The chief of all the evil serpents was Apepi or Apophis (q.v.), who seems to have been a personification of spiritual evil. There is a religious work called the "Book of the Overthrowing of Apepi"= (q.v.). A spirit of fear and the = idea of propitiation probably led to the great popularity to which this cult at one time attained.

Three kinds of serpents are represented on the monuments. (a) The cobra di capello= (uraeus<= /span>) - the basilisk of the Greeks,= which was the symbol of divine and royal sovereignty, and is seen on the forehe= ad of gods and kings. (b) The asp or cerastes, a poisonous vip= er, possibly the "cockatrice" of Scripture. (c) A great coluber of what species not yet determined. It was this last that represented the= Typhonian Apepi. Many m= agical formulae against snakes have been found.(1902b1)

$H Servants. Egypt

There is a word in the inscriptions which has been translated "slave," but it is not impossible that it means servant more in our modern sense. Slaves in the real sense of the word were importations, having either been bought from some foreign merchant, or been captured in war. They were the actual property of their masters, serfs attached to the soil; but there i= s no good evidence that they were cruelly treated. There must have been great numbers in Egypt, for we find that "in thirty years Ramses= III. presented 113,433 of them to the temples alone. The ‘Directors of the Royal Slaves’ at all pe= riods, occupied an important position at the court of the Pharaohs."

Then, as now, a man's importance was partly measured by the number= of servants he kept. A high official under Usertsen I.= of the XIIth Dynasty had sixty-three officers= and servants enumerated on the walls of his tomb at Beni= Hasan. Of these there were nine "food providers," five scribes, seven maid house-messengers, a superintend= ent of canals, four herdsmen, and nine priests. Among the chief servants were those who had to do with food-providing. In the tombs at Tel el Amarna we find among other servants the following: "Superintendent of the provision house, superintendent of the dwelli= ng, superintendent of the bake-house, scribe of the libations, bearer of cool drinks, preparer of sweets."(1902b1)
