The present part of " Hieroglyphic Texts from Egyptian Stelae, etc., in the
British Museum," contains copies of all the inscribed monuments of the first eleven
dynasties which are exhibited in the Vestibule and Northern Egyptian Gallery.
The greater number of the texts are funerary in character, and their importance
is great, for they illustrate the burial customs which were current under the Ancient
Empire. They also enumerate the principal tomb festivals, and supply a large
number of the civil and priestly titles, and useful lists of the canonical offerings of
the dead. Incidentally some of these texts contain information of the highest
historical value. Thus the information obtained from the inscription of Ptah
Shepses (No. 30) has been employed in determining the order of the succession of
several kings of the IVth and Vth dynasties ; and the stele of Antef (No. 99)
supplies the names of three successive kings of the Xlth dynasty, the order of whose
reigns was, up to the time of its discovery, unknown.
Owing to the great difference in the sizes of the various objects, it has been
found impossible to adopt a uniform scale in the drawings published herein.
The drawings, copies of the texts, and the descriptions of the plates are the
work of Mr. P. D. Scott-Moncrieff, M.A,, Assistant in the Department.

PLATE IV.
No. 8. Limestone false door of Ka-nefer, son of Seneferu, and overseer of the priests
connected with the cult of his father. The list of other offices that he held is representative of
the hierarchy and bureaucracy of the Ancient Empire. The hieroglyphs are incised and the
figures are in relief. The workmanship is fine and the whole is in good preservation, with the
exception of the extreme lower portions. IVth dynasty. 8 ft. 8 in. x 4 ft. From the
necropolis of Memphis. [1324.]
PLATE V.
No. 9. Limestone slab from the tomb of Ka-nefer, in the form of a hetep offering. The

and the hieroglyphs are in sunk relief: the latter are cut in detail. Technique and workman-
ship good. IVth dynasty. 8 ft. x 5 ft. 3 in. Published : Lepsius, Auswahl, 8. From the
necropolis of Memphis. [157 B.]
DESCRIPTION OF THE PLATES.
PLATE VII.
No. 25. Corresponding false door of Thetha and Tebt. This one is not in such good
preservation as the other, and more parts are missing. The surface is considerably weathered,
but on the upper part there are frequent traces of red, black (or dark blue), and yellow paint,
these being especially noticeable on the small false door in the upper left-hand corner and on
the centre scene. Technique and workmanship same as foregoing. IVth dynasty. 8 ft. x
5 ft. i o in. Published: Lepsius, Auswahl, 8. From the necropolis of Memphis. [i57 A -]
PLATE VIII.
No. 31. Sandstone false door of Khennu, a priest connected with the cult of Menkaura.
Both the hieroglyphs and figures are in relief. The upper part of the false door is incomplete,
and seems to have suffered from the action of water. The technique is good considering the
coarseness of the stone. (This false door is probably not from the tomb of Khennu mentioned
in Mariette, Mastabas, p. 184.) IVth dynasty. 6 ft. 2 in. x 3 ft. 7^ in. From the necropolis
of Memphis. [1272.]
No. 7. Sandstone false door of Mert-tefs and her two daughters. The figures and hieroglyphs
are in sunk relief. Good workmanship. The figures are somewhat unusually slender. IVth
dynasty. 4 ft. 2 in. X i ft. 5 in. From the necropolis of Memphis. [1228.]

which are carved in detail, and the left-hand figure of the deceased, are in sunk relief. The
right-hand figure and the signs forming the name " Katep," immediately above it, are in raised
relief. Good technique and workmanship. IVth dynasty. 3 ft. 1 1 in. x 2 ft. 1 1 in. From
the necropolis of Memphis. [1288.]
No. 1 6. White limestone slab from the tomb of Katep. The lower right-hand corner is
broken away. The figures and hieroglyphs are in sunk relief. IVth dynasty. 1 1 in. x
2 ft. 2 in. From the necropolis of Memphis. [ ri 73-]
No. 17. Limestone slab from the tomb of Katep. The centre portion is sunk at a lower
level than the side panels. The work appears to be unfinished ; the name of a god is missing
at the foot of the right-hand panel, and the centre panel was probably intended to bear a scene.
The orthography of the inscription on the former is peculiar. Two of the bird signs are without
legs, possibly for magical reasons. IVth dynasty, i ft. 8 in. x 2 ft. 9 in. From the necropolis
of Mem phis. ["74-]
PLATE X.
No. 66. Limestone architrave, from the tomb of Uash-Ptah. The first line of the inscripti
is wanting and also the first part of the four existing lines (see Mariette, Mastabas, p. 268).

The upper part of this side of the facade is missing. Fine technique and workmanship.
IVth-Vth dynasty. 8 ft. 2 in. x 5 ft. 3 in. From Sakkarah. [682.]
PLATE XII.
No. 32. Limestone false door, forming the centre of the tomb-facade of Ptah-Shepses :
colouring, technique, etc., the same as the foregoing. The text contains principally the religious
offices held by the deceased. An unusual piece of orthography is the sign Tet used to represent
the god Osiris. 8 ft. 2 in. x 3 ft. [682.]
PLATE XIII.
No. 32. Right-hand panel of the tomb-facade of Ptah-Shepses : colouring, technique, etc.,
the same as the foregoing. About one foot of the upper part of this side is missing. The text
is mainly biographical, and relates how the deceased was brought up in the royal liarim of
Menkaura and, later, in that of Shepseskaf. He married Kha-maat, a daughter of the latter
king. The signs in brackets are restored from Mariette. Published : de Rouge, Inscriptions,
pp. 79, 80; Mariette, Mastabas, pp. 112, 113; Sethe, Urkunden, 1. i, pp. 51-53. (N.B. Plates

No. 65. Limestone stele, in the form of a false door of Ka-utch-ankh, district chief of the
Aphroditopolitan nome, captain of the king's guard and overseer of the cattle belonging to the
guard of the court. The figures and offerings in the upper scenes are carved in relief. The
hieroglyphs are sunk and cut in detail. IVth dynasty. 3 ft. 1 1 in. x 2 ft. 1 1 in. From the
necropolis of Memphis. [ I22 3-]
No.[i8. Limestone stele, in the form of a false door of Shesha, surnamed Nefer-seshem-
Khufu, and his wife Khenti-Ka. It is possible, however, that Nefer-seshem-Khufu maybe the
second husband of Khenti-Ka ; but the titles, " royal scribe and comptroller of the priests," being
the same in both cases, imply that the two names refer to the same individual. Both figures and
hieroglyphs are in sunk relief. Good workmanship. IVth dynasty. 4 ft. 3 in. x 2 ft. 4 in.
"-~m the necropolis of Memphis. [1282.]

painted red, the skirt white, and the plaited wig black. There are also traces of paint on the
hieroglyphs. Both the figure and signs are in relief. It will be noticed that in this and the
foregoing panels the name of Ari is spelt in no less than three different ways. Fine technique
and workmanship. IVth dynasty. 3 ft. 9 in. x I ft. 7 in. From the necropolis of Memphis.
[1169.]

No. 62. Fragmentary inscription on side of the same stele. [ I2 77-]
PLATE XX.
No. 40. Fine white limestone panel from the tomb of Ra-hetep. Both the figure and the
hieroglyphs are carved in the most delicate relief; the latter are cut in full detail. In the list
of offerings facing the deceased there figure a stone-headed arrow and an object like a long-
handled mace. The wig of the deceased was painted black, and, apparently, both his body and
his robe were coloured red : the colours have faded considerably. The robe is cut like a

figures are in relief. The whole was at one time painted, but the only traces of colouring that
remain are on the necklaces of the standing figures ; these are black or dark blue. There are
traces of red paint on the smooth stone below them. The spelling of the name Asa is noticeable
and differs from that on the similar stele figured in Mariette, Mastabas, p. 191. Very fine
technique and workmanship. Vth dynasty. 10 ft. 6 in. x 5 ft. 5i in. From Sakkarah. [1383.]

house of six." The hieroglyphs and figures are in sunk relief. Three of the latter are
conventional and three portray the deceased as bulky and fat; two of these figures attempt
a perspective view of chest and shoulders peculiar to this period (cf. Capart, Une Rue de
Tombeaux). A band, probably of linen, is worn slung over the right shoulder and under the
left arm. Indifferent workmanship. Vlth dynasty. 4 ft. 10 in. x 3 ft. 6 in. From Sakkarah.
[1191.]
PLATE XXXIV.
No. 76. Limestone stele in the form of a false door, from the tomb of Karta. The
hieroglyphs and figures at the foot of the stele are in sunk relief ; the scene representing the
deceased seated at a table of offerings is in low relief. Indifferent technique and workmanship.
The lower surface is badly weathered. Vlth dynasty. 4 ft. 10 in. x 2 ft. 10 in. From the
necropolis of Memphis. [1342.]
No. 75. Limestone stele in the form of a false door, from the tomb of Karta. It is possible
that this stele may have been made late in his life, after he had attained to the dignity of royal
chancellor and held numerous other offices. Probably at this time he added the king's names,
Pepi-nefer and Meri-ra-nefer, to his own. Style and arrangement the same as the foregoing.
Five of the figures wear bands of linen over the right shoulder, while four are represented with
the shoulders in attempted perspective. Vlth dynasty. 7 ft. x 4 ft. 3 in. From the necropolis
of Memphis. [I34I-]

No. 96. Lower part of the same stele. The twelve lines of text form a funerary prayer the
meaning of which is, for the most part, very obscure. There are several unknown signs. The
hieroglyphs are in sunk relief. (N.B. The stele is complete and has only been divided into two
plates for convenience.) Xlth dynasty. 5 ft. 2 in. x 3 ft. 2 in. [!59-]

relief. Xlth dynasty. From Abydos. I ft. 3 in. x 3 ft. 4 in. [628.]
Presented by the Egypt Exploration Fund, 1903.
PLATE XLIX.
No. 100. Fine white limestone stele of Thetha, an official of king Uah-ankh Antef and his
successor, Nekht-neb-tep-nefer Antef. The biographical portion of the stele is a noteworthy
contribution to the history of the Xlth dynasty. It mentions the important fact, hitherto
unnoticed, that in the reign of the first- named king the Theban kingdom extended from
Elephantine to Thinis. The reading of the sign designating the former city is made certain by
the fuller orthography found on Stele No. 20543, ' IO . f the Cairo catalogue (see Lange and
Schafer, Grab- und Denksteine des mittleren Reichs, II, p. 165. Also Denderah, Plate XV). The
text further speaks of the king's anxiety at the encroachment of foreign desert tribes and his
satisfaction at the tribute levied on their chiefs by Thetha and brought to his majesty. Thetha
was entrusted with the construction of the king's barge, and also of a great boat for his city.
He states that under Nekht-neb-tep-nefer, the successor of Uah-ankh, he enjoyed the same
favour and power. The hieroglyphs are in sunk relief and admirably clear.
PLATE L.
No. 100. Lower part of the same stele, containing funerary prayer, list of offerings, and large
figure of Thetha himself, with his seal-bearer and an attendant. The hieroglyphs are in sunk
relief, the figures and representations of offerings in low relief. The technique and workmanship
are extraordinarily fine : there arc no traces of paint. (N.B. The stele is complete, and has
only been divided into two plates for convenience.) Xlth dynasty. Published: Breasted
and Pier, American Journal of Semitic Languages, Vol. XXI, p. 159. 4 ft. II in. x 3 ft. 6 in.
From Karnak. [614.]
PLATE LI.
No. 103. Fine white limestone jamb from the tomb of Thetha. Similar style and technique.
2 ft. 9 in. x \\\ in. [6 14 A.]
No. 102. Fine white limestone jamb from the same tomb. The figures and hieroglyphs
are in sunk relief. The same fine style and technique are maintained. The son, represented
by the lowest figure, acts as a shabti. 4 ft. IO in. x I ft. [61415.]
PLATE LII.
No. 101. Fine white limestone architrave from the tomb of Thetha. The hieroglyphs are
in sunk relief and beautifully cut. 4 ft. 3 \ in. long. [6140.]
Fine white limestone stele of Sen-bennu. The hieroglyphs and figures are in sunk relief.
The former present some peculiar orthographical forms. The latter are similar in style to the
figures on the stele of Kaur Antef (sec following plate), especially in their treatment of the
limbs ; the flesh is coloured red and the wigs black. Rough workmanship. Xlth dynasty,
i ft. 10 in. x 3 ft. 6 in.
DESCRIPTION OF THE PLATES. 17
PLATE LIII.
No. 99. Painted limestone stele of Kaur Antef, a contemporary of kings Uah-ankk
Antef -aa, N ekht-neb-tep-nefer Antef, and Sankh-db-taui Menthu-hetep. The stele is noteworthy,
not only by reason of the crude colouring and peculiar cutting of the figures, but also for the
unusual orthography employed. It differs in a remarkable manner from the contemporary stele
of Thetha, both in regard to style and epigraphy. The figures are in sharp relief and the
hieroglyphs incised : the latter are coloured red and dark blue. The wigs of the figures
were once black and the bodies red, but the paint has faded considerably. The deceased
apparently held office in Thebes. The inscription contains mention of a " fourteenth year."
The peculiar sign at the end of each royal name, and of the name of each wife, must be
equivalent to maa-kheru, although it occurs on the first vertical column of text on
the right after the word kenbitu. There are several other unknown signs. Xlth dynasty.
2 ft. 3 in. x 3 ft. 3 in. [1203.]
PLATE LIV.
No. 1 20. Painted limestone stele of Sebekaa, surnamed Aa. The unusual technique is
similar to that of the foregoing stele of Kaur Antef: the figures are in sharp relief and painted
red with the exception of the two female figures standing immediately behind Sebekaa in the
lower register, which are painted yellow, while the hieroglyphs are incised and filled in with blue
paint. The biography of the deceased is of little interest, but the scene in the second register is
noteworthy : on the left the deceased is seen lying on his bier, being revisited by his ba, who is
represented as a diminutive human being breathing " life " into Sebekaa's nostrils ; on the right
women make dough and two men feed a fire, which is a faithful representation, not of a real fire,
but of the model fires made at this period. The lower portions of the trunks of all the male
figures have been purposely mutilated. The workmanship is rough but the animals are
cleverly depicted. The peculiar technique of this and the two preceding stelae may be
compared with No. 20011 on Plate II of Grab- rind Denksteine des mittleren Reiclis. Xlth
dynasty. 2 ft. x i ft. 10 in.
PLATE LV.
No. 134. Fine white limestone stele of Antef, son of Mait. The large standing figure of
the deceased and the table, symbolic of field-produce, are in low relief. The hieroglyphs
themselves are clear, but the meaning of the text is obscure. Style and technique good :
somewhat similar to that of Thetha. Probably Xlth dynasty. 2 ft. 6| in. x 3 ft. 10 in.
[1164-]
PLATE LVI.
No. 130. Limestone stele of Aker and his relatives. This is a good example of a "family"
funerary stele, on which as many kinsfolk as possible are commemorated. The figures and
objects in the top register are in low relief and coloured red. All the other figures are in sunk
relief and the hieroglyphs are incised. The colouring of the greater part of the stele has
disappeared, but the background was probably yellow. Good style and workmanship. Probably
Xlth dynasty. 2 ft. 7 in. x i ft. 7 in. [I3 1 -]
