149. The view of M. Legkain, that the temple
and town so designated are none other than the
temple of Karnak and the town of Thebes (No
Anion), has much to commend it; if it is
correct, then the corps of Tehen-Aten may well
be identical with the corps of Amon, of which
Ave read in the accounts of the battle of Kadesh.
End of XVIIIth Dynasty.
PI. xxii. Canopic jars of the XlXth Dynasty,
inscribed with various names and titles: (1) a
woman, "the dweller of the town, Astnefret";
(2) a woman, Tabakenast; (3) " the field-
labourer Unnefer" ; (4) "the Mai-priest Pa-
unsh "; (5) uncertain; (6) " the workman
of Isis, Urshenu." Prof. Spiegelberg (A. Z.
xxxvii, p. 37) quotes instances of "workmen"
of Amon and Osiris, with which the present
example may be compared. Three jars out of
the six bear the formula " I *nh m the Osiris
N.," which is familiar from ushabti figures, but
very rarely occurs on Canopic jars.
74. PI. xxiv. 1. Five fragments of an
ebony casket, inscribed with portions of at least
three speeches made by a king Sety. In 1B the
god Tanen is addressed, in 1° apparently the
gods of Egypt. On the latter fragment the
following words are legible : " Sety. He says :
Hail to you, hail to...... 0 ye [people (?)],
who are upon this land, I have said to you . . .
. . . ." Fragment 1D mentions " my portable
statue which is in......."
2 gives the titles of Takelot II.
3. Funereal formula pronounced by the
Osiris Hapimen, Roman period.
13. Exhortation to various priests to utter
a prayer for the ^j, Inhor (?). Roman period.
PI. xxv. Stele of " the divine father of
Osiris, the aden-officer, Horpanefer," and his
wife, "the singer of Osiris, Taubenu." In the
second register: " the.....of Osiris, the
waft-priest, Kari (?)," with his sister (i.e. wife),
" the singer of Osiris Tanehasi" ; and three
5
others. The third register names the father of
Taubenu, " the scribe Hora." XXth (?) Dy-
nasty.
On the right, inscription from the coffin of
"the Jo, priest of Osiris Upshadtaui, priest of
Horus, avenger of his father, priest of Isis the
great, the mother of the god, priest of Horus,
Buto, and Sekhmet, Imhotep." His father was
"the J)i and priest of Osiris, Horkheb"; his
mother, " the sistrum-player of Khenti Amen-
tiu, Dersh." Ptolemaic.
PI. xxvii.-xxviii. Religious inscriptions from
the tomb of the waft-priest Hordauankh. East
Wall, 11. 1-8, Hymn to Osiris. LI. 50-9 (num-
bered backwards), the Negative Confession,
chapter 125 of the Book of the Dead. LI. 51-
