| CYNOCEPHALUS. "Dog-headed."
A species of baboon (Simia Hamadryas), venerated by the Egyptians
as sacred to the deity Thoth. He was supposed to preside over the
balance of the souls in the hall of judgment, because all his members were
equal, i.e. terminated in hands. He was also the emblem of the hour
meter, because, if Greek writers are to be believed, he urinated at
precisely equal intervals twelve times a day. He was also one of the
guardians of the infernal regions, and one of the genii of Amenti.
(An Archaic Dictionary, Cooper, 1876). Cf. Arthurian Cynfarch.
