  • - ḫn(r).kwj r kꜣp n ḫntj: Osing (Das Grab des Nefersecheru, 1992, 49 note (o)) suggests reading the verb as ḫnr, with a schematized nose determinative and translates as ‘versetzen’, an otherwise unattested nuance, although he also suggests ‘absondern zu’. I consider the more literal sense of ‘enclosing, secreting away’ appropriate to the context. kꜣp seems rare in Ramessid texts as a designation of palace space. In Middle Kingdom titles and documents referring to palace officials and administration, the kAp was associated with the inner apartments of the palace, distinct from the official, ‘public’ domain of the ḫnty (Quirke, The administration of Egypt in the Late Middle Kingdom, 1990, 39–40, with schema p. 41) and the term retains these associations in titles such as ‘child of the kꜣp’ in 18th Dynasty sources (Feucht, The ẖrdw n kꜣp reconsidered. in: S. Israelit-Groll (ed.), Pharaonic Egypt, the Bible and Christianity, Jerusalem 1985; Feucht, Das Kind im alten Ägypten, Frankfurt/New York 1995, 266-304). kꜣp also occurs in Nefersekheru’s title-strings at the beginning of the appeal inscribed around his southern statue in the shrine: ‘scribe of the offering stand in the protected chamber of Horus’ (sẖ-wdḥw m-kꜣp-Ḥr) (Osing, Das Grab des Nefersecheru, 1992, 34, pl. 44, col. 1). If Osing’s reading of the verb describing the movement into the kꜣp as ḫn(r) is correct, the concept of being enclosed within a restricted area may heighten the ritualized associations of this space, although the reference to messengers, highlighted by an enjambement, suggests that it may have been a zone of mediation between the palace and the outside world.

(A future release of the TLA web app will also indicate the scope of authors’ comments or annotations, i.e., which parts of the sentence a comment/annotation refers to. For the development plan, see here.)
