APPENDIX E
Anena probably puts Men-asut first out of reverence for his first
sovereign Amenhotep I. Akh-asut follows by assonance, Heri-hir-amun is
last as the latest foundation. The assignment of only one share to Akh-
asut suggests that Thothmes had not yet built the chapel Jeser-akhut there.
On the other hand the triple grant to Heri-hir-amun shows that all three
shrines (terraces?) at Deir el Bahri had already cults instituted in them.
The existence of only two £a-chapels by this time is surprising; but
Thothmes I may have hoped to place his at Deir el Bahri, and its later in-
clusion in the series of temples begun, so far as we know, by Amenhotep
I and Nofretari may have been an afterthought of Hatshepsut.
II. Puyemre enumerates
(i) Five temples on the east bank.
(2) Three shrines of Amon at Deir el Bahri—Jeser-josru, the XVIIIth
dynasty (northern) temple there, and two others which seem connected
with it, and may be the lower, middle, and upper terraces respectively.
(3) The four mortuary temples which make up the known series of
&a-chapels of the XVIIIth dynasty in an order in which local succession,
(reversed) chronological sequence, and a linked assonance of names are
in accord (with perhaps one exception). They are those of Thothmes III,
of Thothmes I, Men-chnemet (Thothmes IIP), and Men-asut (Amenhotep
IP).
(4) The Xlth dynasty mortuary temple of Deir el Bahri.
(5) The &a-chapel of Nofretari (probably within Men-asut, and sepa-
rated from it here only in order to keep the rhyming names of (3) and (4)
together).
(6) Shrines at Luxor, named here and not with the first group, either
as the last to come upon the revenues, or as supplementary to the houses
of the great gods on the east bank.
Thus the shrines implicit in the larger grants to Nos. 6 and 12 by
Anena have here been separately placed (Nos. 7, 8, i4); Deir el Bahri
(north) has been raised from a &a-chapel to a seat of Amon in three parts,
and the newly founded chapels of Thothmes I, II, and III have been
added.
