TAA i.3.22.36

                                        (4)

                                    SEAL F

NOTES:

          This seal, being confined to the third door (28), 

does not occur often enough to complete the readings. 

In the second column the plural strokes at the top 

are not certain. Over the jackal we should probably 

restore [ 𓂀 ] "Anubis". The connection of the sym-

bol at the end, the skin on the pole, with the preced-

ing, is not certain.

TRANSLATION:

          "Nebkheprure, .... of Maat, …… the Place of Truth, 

Anubis (probably designating the king), triumphant 

over the nine subject peoples, beloved of Osiris (or 

Anubis)".

                                    SEAL G

NOTES:

          The resotration of the slight lacuna over the 

jackal is practically certain. Of the four pros-

trate captives, only the first shows the head plainly 

enough to discern the race. He was an Asiatic. The 

very long skirt worn by the captives suggests Asia 

for all of them. Compare the "four barbarians" in 

the Beni Hassan inscr. of Ameni (Breasted, Anc. Rec. 

I, par. 519). The figures are done with much detail, 

even the hands and thumbs showing clearly.

TRANSLATION:

          "Their overlord, Anubis (that is the king), triumph-

ant over the four captive epoples".
