Comments

  • jtꜣ/jꜣꜣ.t: The weapon here is written M17-X1-G1-N11, jtꜣ (TLA DZA 21.416.190). A parallel for these verses is the ritual instruction in the 21st Dynasty papyrus of Nedjmet, as discussed by Derchain (1955, 236; for the papyrus, see Lenzo, The two funerary papyri of Queen Nedjmet (P. BM EA 10490 and P. BM EA 10541 + Louvre E. 6258). British Museum Studies in Ancient Egypt and Sudan 15, 2010, 63-83). In this text the weapon is written M17-G1-G1-N29:V20, jꜣꜣq. Neither jtꜣ or jꜣꜣq is known from other contexts. I follow Derchain’s (1955, 236, n. 3) suggestion that in both texts the word should be understood as being a variant orthography of jꜣꜣt, a type of staff associated with ritual action in the Coffin Texts. The determinative in Wenennefer’s text is distinctive and very clear in the photograph and to me when I collated the text in 2001, contra Assmann et. al. (2005: 448) who read jꜣt as jm: ‘the ꜣms in my hand to smite the disaffected with it, that I may fell the rebel and recite glorifications, which Isis made’.
