There are two possible readings for this section. The jw=j 〈m〉 ... identifying Bakenkhons as a father to his staff and then as overseer of works could operate as Middle Egyptian independent main clauses, with the particle jw being the independent marker. However, the jw could also function as the Late Egyptian circumstantial converter, producing nested circumstantial clauses which are dependent on the phrase dj=f wj r ḥm-nṯr tpy n Jmn m 27 n rnp.t. Both readings are possible with Bakenkhons either stating his dependence on the god and king for his function in the temple, or reinforcing his independent identity and ability.
