SOME INSCRIPTIONS IN PROF. PETRIE'S
SOME
INSCRIPTIONS IN PROF. PETRIE'S COLLECTION OF EGYPTIAN ANTIQUITES
BY
Arthur E. P. Weigall
A few years ago Prof. Pétrie very kindly allowed me to make copies and photo-
graphs of ail the inscribed statuettes, steke, etc., in his collection at the Edwards
Library, University Collège, London. Since then M. Capart and others have publi-
shed several of thèse objects; but there are a few interesting inscriptions which still
remain unknown to those who have not visited the collection. Prof. Pétrie has given
me permission to record the following notes here, but it is to be hoped that the
objects which deserve a fuller publication will be reëdited in such works as M. Capart's
valuable Recueil.
I. Pedestal of a Statuette °f \ ■ — Wood. Length 9X\ Breadth
3 %. Dynasty XII. Pedestal of a statuette, coloured red, upon which two feet in
brown wood alone remain. Upon the upper surface near the feet is an inscription
neatly eut in, reading :
^JS} This object was purchased along with a number of
TJj^ other antiquities, including painted wooden models of a
rnfà duck, an ibis, an oar; several harpoons and spears; a painted
wooden box; some copper knives with wooden handles; a
n bronze mirror; a copper axe; and some other objects in
? wood and bronze, ail of which came without doubt from
^ 1 the great tomb of Mslht at Assiut, from which the famous
S ^ f. <=> wooden soldiers, now in the Cairo Muséum, were procured.
II. Stèle o/'rsn((^( and lus Family. — Limestone. Length 13 X. Breadth
10. Dynastie XII. This stèle, which gives the names of the family of a certain
Nbykk'i, is interesting on account of the inscription which runs dovvn the left side,
reading :

are sufficiently rare to be worthy of record.
