THE SCENES AND INSCRIPTIONS
25
NOTES ON THE HIEROGLYPHIC TEXT OP PLATES II. AND III.
Some of the hieroglyphic signs being new to science, I give notes upon their colouring and other details. I also add
below the important variants which occur in the two parallel texts discovered by me at Gurneh, as well as all
possible restorations from those texts. Unfortunately both the texts are much mutilated, but they often serve
as a help in deciphering the inscription. B = the text in the tomb of Amenemapt (under Amenhetep II.); C = that
in the tomb of User (first quarter of reign of Thothmes III.).
Line.
1. The determinative of the word ken is evidently some kind of mat. It is coloured pink, with red horizontal lines.
The sign before her ef at the end of the line is coloured white, with red lines.
2. B inserts the preposition ® thus : kherp er d-ef ® shesem XL. sesh cm bah-ef <_tvru res em bah-ef ®
mer dkhenuti, etc.

8. B gives the plural an ^ \ and lower down reads erde sc/chem ser neb em | <==> em kha, etc.
9. B enables us to restore the whole lacuna: em jjlQjjj *^ |] ^ (j ^ | ^ <^> de ef su, etc.

10. B and C both give em erde setau ef ® M; ^ du ef, etc. The restoration^^
was suggested to me by Professor Spiegelberg.
