name of a troop of soldiers. \_A.Z. xxxix,
p. 63 and G6~\. The same man is mentioned
in Mabiette, Cat. Ab., 1062.
86. PI. xviii. Objects from later burials in
the Middle Fort:—(No. 1) A heart amulet roughly
carved in schist, with the knob at the top pierced
for suspension. In the same grave was found
a scarab (No. 2) of the Hyksos period. This
was perhaps an heirloom, since the beads in the
grave belonged to the XVIIIth Dynasty. (No. 4)
scarab inscribed with the name of Thothmes III.
The burial was that of a still-born infant. The
coffin was made by hollowing out a piece of
a palm trunk, in which the child was then
placed for burial. (No. 5) A small ivory kohl-
pot, inlaid with black, and with a lid of ebony.
The cover is kept in place by a slender ivory
pin, which was also used for the kohl-stick.
(No. 3) A large shabti of quartz ite sandstone,
now in the Cairo Museum. This was found in the
rubbish of the south-west corner of the Shuneh.
The inscription is dealt with in the chapter
on the inscriptions. From it Ave learn that the
figure belonged to Amenemheb, the "governor
of the two granaries," the son of Tehuti and
Nes-nub. A photograph of this figure was
published in Abydos II (xxxii, 10).
Nos. 6-12. Contents of a tomb probably of the
XlXth Dynasty. The shabtis (as No. 6), and
shabti jar (No. 12) bear the name of the " Osirian,
the singer of Isis, Pa-nefu." [For. the title and
office of singer, see Erman, Aegypten, vol. 2,
pp. 399-401.] An ivory object (No. 7) was found
near the skull. This is probably an ear-stud or
something similar (see pi. xvi, 7 and text).
A copper ring engraved with the signs:—
" Horus, lord of heaven," was found near the
right hand. No. 9 is half of an alabaster ear-
stud, the corresponding part having a small
spike to fit into the central tube (see Ermitage
Gat., p. 313, No. 2,189). No. 11 is a dish of
alabaster, in the shape of a fish.
PI. xix, 1A-1D. Drawings of four sides of
an obelisk from the Osiris Temple. (No. 2)
the
Jamb of the tomb of Tetathy, found re-used
in the cemetery. Nos. 3 and 4 are XVIIIth
Dynasty jambs of tombs which were re-used
as supports for a coffin of the same date in
Cemetery G (see pi. xvii and text).
87. PL xx, 1-3. These are burials of
the Vlth Dynasty, contracted and lying with
head to the north. The pottery vase from
No. 1 is of the type of No. 24 (pi. xxxii). The
vases in No. 2 belong to type 11, whilst those of
No. 3 belong to types 23-26.
Nos. 4 and 5 belong to the Xlth Dynasty,
and are the latest contracted burials known.
The other tombs have been described above ;
No. 6 in sect. 18. No. 7 is described in sect.
80. No. 8 in sect. 85. No. 9 in sect. 83.
PL xxi, 1, Slabs of Aahmes I of white lime-
stone, with figure of Osiris, from the Osiris
Temple. These had been re-used as part of
a foundation by the kings of the XXVIth
Dynasty. (No. 2) A group of small objects
from tomb /x 26 (see sect. 83). In the middle is
an eye of coloured glass inlaid in gold. On the
right is a scarab engraved with a sphinx, and
the cartouche of Akhenaten. The long pendant
beads are of coloured pottery. (No. 3) A finely
worked ibis-head of bronze with an inlaid eye of
green glass. This was found in the western
trench of the Shuneh, to the south of the gate-
way, and belongs probably to the XXIInd
Dynasty. In the same region were found three
solid bronze fishes of the same date.
88. PL xxii. Shabti jars from Cemetery v,
with the lids in the shape of a jackal's head.
The inscriptions are noticed below (chap. xli).
A large number of these vases were found in
1901 (see MacTver and Mace, El Amrah and
Abydos, pi. lvi).
PL xxiii, 1-3. A shabti pot and group of
all the types of shabtis from Cemeteries /x and
v. A drawing of the jar is given on pi. xxii, 2 ;
and a shabti from the same burial as that on
the extreme right of No. 3, is drawn on
pi. xviii, 6. No. 4. These photographs show
