Comments

  • ḥm nṯr ꜥꜣ m Ꜣbḏ,w: An alternative rendering of this clause is: ‘I am the priest of the great one in Abydos’ (Anthes 1974, 43).

    Commentary author: Elizabeth Frood

  • ṯs nfr-ḥꜣ.t: Anthes (1974, 42, with 43, n. f) tentatively read the sign following ṯs as mḏḥ, giving the translation: ‘Der mit festen Fingern beim Anlegen (des mḏḥ-Stirnbandes und?) des nfr-ḥꜣt-Kopfschmuckes’. I prefer to read S10A as a determinative for ṯs based on the occurrence of the same sign in col. 4. Here the sign is followed by the first person stative ending and refers to ritual/mortuary wrappings.

  • - wbꜣ pw n.j Wnn-nfr: Wenennefer, although the same as the high priest’s own name, is here an attribute of Osiris (see Gardiner, ΟΝΝΩΦΡΙΣ. In: Anonymous (ed.), Miscellanea Academica Berolinensia: gesammelte Abhandlungen zur Feier des 250jährigen Bestehens der Deutschen Akademie der Wissenschaften zu Berlin II/2, Berlin 1950, 44-53); this potential for allusion to the god’s name is meaningfully deployed in the high priest’s texts, including the shaft of the Abydos standard he holds here.
    - wbꜣ is attested as a priestly title in the New Kingdom; the Worterbuch (I, 292, 2) cites Wenennefer’s statue (TLA DZA 22.238.740), and a New Kingdom stela in Marseille which mentions a wbꜣ-servant of Osiris. An alternative and plausible reading is ‘that precinct of Wenennefer’ (with Kitchen 2000: 322).
