                                 NOTES AND TRANSLATIONS

                                                     SEAL A

 

NOTES:
All readings are certain. The connection of the 

wings with the body of the scarab will have to 

be determined fx[?]/<r>om the other frequent occurrences 

of this form of the winged scarab. This sign, together 

with the preceding sun-disk must somehow be read 

as the king’s name. It may be a sp<o>rtive writing. 

Compare the Ptolemaic use of the scarab for the 

word nb "lord". It is not likely that the seal 

should merell/<y> contain the name of the sun-god, 

"Ra-Khepri", with the epithets translated below.


TRANSLATION:
          "Ra-Khepri (probably to be read as royal name), 

great in love in the whole land".

 

                                                     SEAL B

 

NOTES:

 

All readings are certain and rendering presents no disic 

difficulties.

 

TRANSLATION:

 

          "Nebkheperure, who fashioned (that is, made images 

of) the gods, who made festive the houses with his 

offering(s)".
 

                                                     SEAL C
 

NOTES:

All readings are clear and rendering presents no 

difficulties. The writing of one n for two in di-sn 

nf, is a not uncommon mistake.
