* Amen, as a personal name, occasionally occurs as an abbre-
viated form of Amenemhat. See Newberry, 1 Beni Hasan,' I.,
pi. viii., 1. 3; cf. also idem, p. 25, note 3.

t Professor Erman has pronounced this formula to be un-
intelligible (' Grammar,' p. 40 *), but on this and the group
per-kheru, see Griffith, 'P.S.B.A.,' 1896, Nov., pp. 196 et scq.
