Immediately below the frieze is, on the South wall [A], a line of painted hieroglyphs <—««, giving
the sin htp dl Tslr formula, and on the South-west wall [Aa] an inscription reading: ' Im'fy &r' Inp 'I [mn]l
Jyrw, " devoted towards Anubis, Ameni, justified." The scenes, in four rows of nearly equal height
[D, Da, E, Ea, F, Ya, G, Ga] show priests performing services and bringing offerings to lay on the
altar [B], as it were before the colossal statue of Amenemhat on the East wall. Above the altar, in
two rows [C], is an inscription giving a brief tabulated resume of the offerings (twenty-two in all) and
a horizontal line of hieroglyphs descriptive of the scenes. This line reads: S-fypt Inw nb nfr r ht 'it n
hi n h< 'I[mn]i/ mi1 fyrw, "causing to be brought all good products to the shrine for the ka of the
/ia-prince, Ameni, justified."

ADDITIONS AND CORRECTIONS TO TOMB No. 2.
P. 30,1. 21. For " 2 feet 6 inches " read perhaps " 4 feet 6 inches ": the base of the false door is 12J inches from
the ground (Hay).
P. 34. Inscription on the base of the statue. Hay's copy indicates u i p □ ^ nb s[tiyt] (P), and does not
confirm the restoration of the second line.
PI. vi. For " wooden beam " read " band representing a wooden beam."
PI. xii. Hay's copy shows the right-hand lower corner more complete : in the bottom row is one more ox's head
and three men are standing in the canoe; of the figures only the central one is now perfect. In Rows 6 and 7 on
the left the name of Hotept is upon two boxes and the mirror.
PI. xiii. The blundered inscription at the top is correctly copied, but the net is placed too low. There should be
a broad clear space between it and the heads of the figures, leaving room for the full height of the bows. On the left,
over the first dog, there should be a gazelle in the net.
Most of the small inscriptions are in linear hieroglyphs. The names and titles of the officers can be found in the
text, pp. 14-19.
