Comments

  • zꜣw-ꜥ: The TLA (lemma-ID 126470) notes 12 other attestations of sꜣ-ꜥ apart from this text: of particular note are the Middle Egyptian literary texts, the Teaching for Merikare and Prophecies of Neferty (Golénischeff, Les papyrus hiératiques nono. 1115, 1116 A et 1116 B de l’Ermitage Impérial, 1913, pl. XIV, 136; pl. XXV, 54), as well as the Satirical Letter of Hori from the 19th Dynasty P. Anastasi I (P. BM EA 10247, 8.3–9.2 with O. Louvre 13158: Fischer-Elfert,Die satirische Streitschrift des Papyrus Anastasi I., KÄT 7, 1992). The Wörterbuch (IV, 13, 17) includes an additional example, a Middle Kingdom self-presentation from Rifa (Griffith, The inscriptions of Siût and Dêr Rîfeh, 1889, pl. 19, 19). Again Bakenkhons is drawing on archaic literary terminology in his narrative.
