TOMB No. 1. SHEINE.

the lintel there are four lines of hieroglyphs
giving prayers for funerary offerings—(1) to
Osiris, Lord of Dadu, Khent Amentiu, (2) to
Anubis, (3) to Osiris, and (4) to Anubis (?) for
a good burial in the divine netherworld.
On the left-hand jamb are three prayers for
funerary offerings—(1) to Osiris, (2) to Anubis,
Lord of Tazeser, and (3) to the great and lesser
Ennead of gods.
On the right-hand jamb are likewise three
prayers — (1) to Osiris, Lord of Ankh-taui,
(2) to Anubis, Lord of Ut, and (3) to the
northern and southern Atert.1
The inscriptions upon the ceiling (pi. vi.)
are too fragmentary for translation. They are
of a religious character, and resemble the texts
found in the Pyramids.
Below this, at the outer end, are four rows
of nearly equal height, showing priests and
servants performing ceremonies and bringing
offerings to lay upon an altar before the large
seated figures of Tehutinekht and his wife
Hathor-hetep, Beneath the altar is the in-
scription :—
THE SHRINE.
On the left-hand wall of the shrine is a
scene of offering to the figures of Tehutinekht
and his wife, accompanied by inscriptions.
Immediately below the frieze is a line of
painted hieroglyphs, containing a prayer for
perJcheru offerings for Tehutinekht, son of JSTe-
hera. This inscription reads :—

" Perlcheru-oSer'mgs to the devoted one, the Aa-prince,
the regulator of the two thrones, the superintendent
of the priests, Nehera's son Tehutinekht, possessing
the reward of worth."
1 Atert seems to be the name of the combined celestial
and terrestial regions. The northern and southern '' hemi-
spheres " would be the nearest equivalent in current
language, but the idea of a celestial sphere is perhaps not
Egyptian.
