FOUND AT MEMPHIS'.

filling a separate office from any hitherto mentioned,

he is here designated—

na hesbn neter hotep n neviu -
Thesaurarius terrse Diis saoratse twv Dominorum -

= sebt

= mcenium alborum.

Cle-rk or treasurer of the glebe lands of the lords of the white
walls.

In the centre line, the great tutelary god of
Memphis is invoked with additional titles of honour ;
he is addressed as—

Ptah aa pehti har as ur -

PtaTi magnus gloriosissiinus, et dominus sedis magna?, -

= neter iri m ka
= Deus factus et faciens ab initio.

Ptah omnipotent, most glorious, presiding in the sacred halls,
God created and creating from the beginning.

Compartment 2, transverse line.—We are told
that the subject of this elaborate record was not only
" treasurer or accountant of the glebe lands," as pre-
viously specified, but that he exercised a similar
office with respect to the lands of the " Lords of the
White Walls."

In Compartment 3, beginning from the first

column on the right, we have disjointed fragments,

derived from liturgical forms connected with the

worship of Ra—

Ao f Ea m
Adorat ille Ea cum.

Tarn hr m ta-ti

Tarn Dominus duorum horizontuiu.

Rampa t m Atin

Infans factus cum disco solari

He adores the sun with . , .
Tain, lord of the two horizons,
Born with the solar disk.
