THE TEMPLES OF THEBES
have preferred to suppose that the&a-chapel of Thothmes II was provided
with a name before that of Thothmes I, an event quite likely to occur in
the royal wrangles of the time, especially since the latter was built by his
daughter and not by himself.
The following additional comments may be made on the sanctuaries
in the list of Puyemre.
Ptah. The name of Ptah, which Anena apparently inserts, has
sometimes been erased by the heretics (Naville, Deir el Bahari, Pis. XI,
XLV) and may therefore have given occasion for the mistake of the re-
storer. But the name is spared in our tomb on Plate XXIX, and the
list is otherwise confined to Anion's intimate circle. It is very tempting
to read Jeser-akhut with Bekhmire, but the traces are against it.
Heri-hir-amun. In the German translation of his Urkunden, p. 3j,
Sethe suggests that this name may imply a direction face to face with
Anion's temple at Karnak, but the special term for that is afforded by
the name Khaftet-hir-nebes, applied to this part of the necropolis, and
Heri-hir-amun seems to denote the devotion of a person rather than lo-
cality. In any case it is too vague. A walking stick in my possession
gives ^T"§~2£^ "my face *s fixed on the West." For personal names
formed on this model see Gardiner, Inscription of Mes, p. 23. In the
slightly later tomb, No. 84, a priest of Amon in Heri-hir-amun is men-
tioned, showing that a separate cult was still retained in this shrine, or
that the ancient name could still be applied to the northern temple. Mr.
Winlock has also discovered in the Fitzwilliam Museum at Cambridge
two late stelae with adorations (a) of "Nofretari iTJijE*," and (b) of
"Nofretari ?/)=*" (with other misspellings). Yet the first place given in
all the lists to Deir el Bahri among the western temples seems to place
this shrine definitely there. Now a solid retaining wall of Amenhotep I
and Nofretari exists on the north limits of the temple of Hatshepsut (Car-
narvon and Carter, Explorations, pp. 28, 29), suggesting that they built
a &a-chapel there for themselves or for Ahmes. If so, Hatshepsut may
have retained it in her plan, so that her temple kept the old name till its
completion or till the appellation Jeser-josru became established as the
