Sesertesen I.; and as Nos. 10, 11, 12, and 13, were his
successors; for although the names of Nos. 10 and 13
alone remain, their relative positions render this cer-
tain. The next, or third line from the bottom, reads in
the same manner, that is, from left to right; for No. 22,
Papa, is placed as the immediate predecessor of No. 23,
Mer-en-ra, in a list, thrice occurring, in the grottoes of
Chenoboscion. The fourth and last line of the same
compartment also reads in the same manner; for No.
25, Snufre, was the successor of Nufre-ka-ra, as we learn
from the Turin Royal Papyrus ; and Nufre-ka-ra in the
Chenoboscion lists immediately succeeds No. 23, Mer-
en-ra. These are sufficient proofs of the correctness
of my arrangement of each line of this side of the list;
and I am convinced that the lowest line is the first,
and that the lines above it regularly continue the list;
the next being the second; that above it, the third;
and the uppermost, the fourth; on the following evi-
dence :—In the first line, No. 8 is the first King of a
Dynasty, other Kings of which are found in the next
line. In the second line, No. 15, Nantef I., is the first
King of a Dynasty, which is continued in the line
above. Lastly, in the third line we find Kings which
in the lists of Chenoboscion precede the first King of
a Dynasty, other Kings of which are found in the
fourth line. It will be seen that these views are amply
confirmed by the monuments, by Manetho, and by the
Turin Royal Papyrus.
To render my explanation of this most important
record more clear, I here insert the names in Roman
characters, in the order in which they are there ar-
ranged, giving both parts of the list*.
