20. to the words said in behalf of her, on account of the
investiture of his daughter, the king of Upper and Lower
Egypt living eternally; they threw themselves on the
ground before his feet, struck down by the voice
21. of the king, they praised all the gods of the king of Upper
and Lower Egypt, Aakheperka Ea living eternally; they
went out together,
22. they rejoiced and danced for joy, because of what he had
ordered them to do; all the rekhyu heard it in the
dwellings
23. of the inner palace, they came together, rejoicing ex-
ceedingly over what has been commanded to them, dwelling
and dwelling,1

and leaping
25. because of their joy, they publish, they publish the name
of Her Majesty as king, when (although) Her Majesty is
still a youth, for the great god
26. inclined their hearts towards his daughter, for they know
...... of the divine daughter
27. for surely they are benefited by her will, above everything.
Whoever luves her in his heart, and praises her every
day,
28. his field is prosperous, and grows exceedingly; but whoever
utters the name of Her Majesty, the hands of god will kill
him at once;
29. for the gods are protecting her, standing behind her every
day. The Majesty of her father heard these things, how
all the rekhyu submitted
30. to the name of his daughter, when Her Majesty was still
a youth before them. The heart of His Majesty was
exceedingly pleased
31. His Majesty ordered that the Kherhebu should be
summoned, in order to fix her royal names, because she
received the investiture of the double crown
32. and of the kingly power ; and also that there should be made
works and all the seals (?) for her who joins the two lands,
who goes round the Northern Hall,2 and rewards all the
gods of her who joins the two lands,

33. in the festival day of her coronation; when the first day of
the year and the beginning of the seasons should be united,
when should be given her millions
34. of Sed periods in great number. They fixed her names of
King of Upper and Lower Egypt, for
35. the god put in their hearts that her names should be like
those which were in time past.
Plate LXIII. One of the most important acts of
the coronation was the determination of the ~w^ »=t i ,
i i i <=> i
the great or royal names of the sovereign. This,
according to our text, was made by the Icherhebu,
priests of high rank entrusted Avith the sacred books,
and generally represented with a roll of papyrus in
their hands. The royal names consist of a series of
epithets divided into four parts, eacli of them here
written in a separate column.
First comes the name of the lea, or the double of the
sovereign, inscribed in a sign interpreted in various
ways; it has been called a standard, it has also been
explained as being the door to the tomb in which the
lea resided. This sign is always surmounted by a hawk.
In the case of Hatshepsu her fai-name is j . . j-j usert
lea n, she who is rich in leas, who has a great number
of has.
The second part is introduced by the signs ]£\£ nebti,
which, according to Le Page Renouf, mean lord of
East and West, but which also, as we saw before,
apply to a crown or diadem. This second part is
I J J J ] c T uazt renpetu netert nefer nebt art
Metu, abounding in years, the good goddess, the pious
lady. It is only after the Xllth Dynasty that this part
of the name began to differ from the first. Up to the
time of Usertesen II. the Ica-n&me and that introduced
by ]N£ are always identical, ]£\£ being frequently used
like ■=^=, meaning the sovereign or the king.
The third part is the so-called Horus-name, preceded
by jX, the golden hawk; it reads | <=> \\ —-^
netert khau, the divine one, in her risings, or with her
diadems.
Lastly comes the coronation-name Cq $ U j, usually
read Ramaka or Makara, but which I believe should
be transcribed Kamara,8 " the real image of Ra." The
second cartouche, being the name given her at her
birth, is no part of the predicates and titles given her
by the leherhebu.
3 The Babylonian transcription of the name of Ameuopliis III.,
IOj| ^^ I Nimmuryia, shows that the syllable ^j must be read in
the middle of the name.
