THE NINETEENTH DYNASTY
The position of Nebhetep is further seen from his
stele lxxvi, 4.
4. Red granite altar of Rahetep. Here again the
hetep leads the formula, although nesut follows it.
“ May an offering of the king be given to Osiris
Khent-amenti ” and to “Anup amiut,” of the usual
benefits for “ the ruler of the city, vezier, judge,
Rahetep ” : see lxxi, 6.
5, 6. Fragments of two steles; 6 possibly a lower
part of 5, but lines rather wider. On 5 “ Set, great
and mighty, son of Nut ” shows that this belongs
to the XIXth dynasty. 6 begins with a speech by
the king, “praise thou the kas of Hor-akhti,” and
names Isis great in magic.
55. LXXIII. This was the family stele, of basalt,
unfortunately deficient down one side. At the top
is the vezier Pa-ra-hetep, followed by the royal
messenger Hatiaay. In the middle line Pa-ra-hetep
is with the prophet of Osiris, Thay. At the base
Pa-ra-hetep is followed by the chief of the archers
Apuaa. Whether these followers were relatives is
not stated; the first and third appear on the granite
shrine lxxiv, and the second on a libation cup,
lxxxiv. The gods are Memphite at the top, Nefertum
Bastet (Sekhmet) and Ptah; in the middle are
Ra-akhti, Maot, Hathor, Horus and Osiris; at the
base are Hersheftu, Hathor, Mehyt of Edfu and
Anhur (?).
56. LXXIV. The granite shrine, of which one
side and the back remain, had a figure of one of the
veziers standing in it. On the side, 1, is Rahetep;
but on the front edge, 3, the name is merely Hetep.
1 has the adoration of Osiris at the top. Below
that is Hathor of the southern sycomore adored
by the vezier Rahetep, and the chief of the
archers Apuaa. At the base, Hathor is adored by
a priestess, “chief of the priestly order Huy(?),”
another priestess Merti, a woman Moa&ny (Lb.
Diet. 895), and a priestess _y.
2. The back of the shrine has the adorers com-
pleting the groups on the two sides. For the side
just noticed, there are two at the top, nameless.
In the middle, the keepers of the stables Tay and
Hora. At the base, the priestesses Tar (?) and
“ his sister Auy.” Down the middle are the wishes
that Rahetep should be like “ Horus the prince,
becoming as a god, without enemies of thine in
thy palace of right and rule.”
3. The remaining edges of the front give some
titles, “ great one making laws for the people of
the land unto its limits, chief of the chiefs”; and
“ ruler of the city, vezier, Hetep.” The “ chiefs ”
were the southern court of thirty.
4. At the feet are two subordinates, one of whom
was “ chief prophet of Horus lord of Khes, named
Meryra, justified in peace.”
5. Four priestesses before a goddess: the only
portion of the other side of the shrine. This shrine
is broken in three pieces, and a large part is missing;
as it weighs more than half a ton, it was reburied.
LXXV. The sarcophagus has been described in
the account of the tomb.
57. LXXVI. 1. This inscription is on the back
of the feet of a lesser granite figure. “ Commander
of all priests, divine father in the temple of
Ptah, ruler of the city, vezier, Rahetep of the house
of Ramessu. ... fan bearer on the right hand of the
king,” and repeated titles.
2. Fragment of inscription, on the top of a small
limestone shrine.
3. Figure of “Pa-ra-hetep, justified, of the fortress
of Ramessu,” holding his staff of office.
4. Stele of Nebuhetep. Scene of Rahetep adoring
Osiris, and the four sons of Horus on the lotus.
Below “Adoration to thy ka Osiris lord of the west,
the great god, the excellent god, prince of eternity.
May he give bread, breath and water to the Osiris
Nebuhetep, justified in peace. May the king give
an offering and Osiris Khenti, lord of heaven, for
the ka of Tem-hetep and purification of the ka of
the Osiris, ruler of the city, vezier, Rahetep. The
great god in his throne listen to the uab priest,
reciter, Nebuhetep, justified,” above a figure of the
speaker, kneeling. This was found broken in two
parts, in different tombs, the top in 56, the base
in 60, cemetery B.
The smaller objects of Rahetep’s tomb are on
pi. lxxxiv. D is the inscription on a green glazed
libation vase, “ The devoted to Horus of Hipponon
(B.D.G. 700) the third prophet of Osiris, the Osiris
Thay... make strong of flesh possessing both lands
in thy burial Osiris Thay.”
E. F. Parts of canopic jars of alabaster for Pa-
ra-hetep were in the tomb; perhaps F, of a different
text, was for Rahetep. There were many large
broken ushabtis of coarsely glazed pottery, so
rough and so much stained that no clear photo-
graph could be taken. The name of Pa-ra-hetep is
legible on the largest. One is of limestone, much
flaked; another of glaze has the long robe and
sleeves, with the hands down toward the knees.
