shrine which Anena seems to recognize within Men-asut, and not the ka-
chapel of Nofretari. For the romantic relation of mother and son was so
strong that the populace would certainly assign her a home where he
found one, even if she possessed a shrine already. Men-asut is also the
name of the pyramid temple of Neuserre of the Vth dynasty; but there
is no sign that any royal temple of the XVlIIth dynasty was combined
with a pyramid as Akh-asut seems to have been.
Akh-asut. The variation in the singular and plural forms of such
names as this (-as.t, -as.ut) may have depended on the shrines being re-
garded as homes of one or of more cults. The latter was the case with
Men-asut and Akh-asut, but not with Jeser-ast.
The &a-chapel of Ahmes-Nofretari. If this was originally at Deir el
Bahri, either the official, or the popular, place of offering may have been
shifted to Men-asut, consequent on the erection of the great temple on
the former site and her son's on the latter.
Opet. The name in Anena's list probably had the form given to it
by Sethe, and not that of Puyemre's tomb. For the early history of the
temple of Luxor see Sethe, Urkunden, IV, p. 25; Breasted, A.R., II,
§§ 27, 35i; Borchardt, A.Z., XXXIV, p. 122.
These unstable conclusions have been modified to meet criticisms
made by H. E. Winlock, whose excavations in the necropolis have led
him to a study of the subject. It is to be hoped that he will before long
engage both his spade and his shrewdness more deeply in the matter and
finally remove some at least of the doubts which beset it.
