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.
