THE SCENES AND INSCRIPTIONS

Sketch Plan, p. 22) is a painting showing
Rekhmara (whose figure is destroyed) inspect-
ing the provisions of the divine offerings. The
inscription reads : maa shebu ne neter hetepu
ne rd neb maa . . . . ef mennu neferu kherp
nef ne dthy neter nefer neb taui Rdmenkheper
te dnlch set er het-neter ne Amen r'eu pent netiu

" inspecting the provisions of the divine offer-
ings daily, and inspecting his .... and the
beautiful monuments which he had made for
the sovereign, the good god, Lord of the two
worlds, Ramenkheper (Thothmes III.), giving
life eternally, for the temple of Amen and the
temples which are in his [city?] by ... . the
Governor of the City, the Vezir [Rekhmara]."
teresting, and I know of no other inscription in which it
is found. It may be compared with the common tep ret,
"rule of the foot," or instructions concerning methods of
procedure.
In the two upper rows we see several statues
of ebony and different kinds of stone; these
represent the king in various positions—seated,
standing, kneeling, and in the attitude of
running. The double statue in the second
row shows the monarch seated by the side of
his queen (Meryt-ra Hatshepset ?). To the
right are figured numerous shields, bundles of
spears and axes, helmets, necklaces and strings
of beads, as well as alabaster vases, censers
and castanets. In the two lower rows are
seen bakers making various kinds of bread,
and a procession of attendants of the super-
intendent of the storehouse1 bearing offerings
and headed by a priest burning incense in a
censer. The officer at the left end of the
fourth row is Rekhmara's son, " the scribe of
the divine offerings, Ramenkhepersenb."
1 This " Superintendent of the Storehouse of Amen " is
probably Rekhmara's son, Amenemhat (see p. 15).
