Comments

  • - sḫr.w=j: sḫrw here might allude to Nefersekheru’s name, as it does more explicitly in his harper’s song: ‘you existed in life and perfect plans (wn=k m-anḫ-nfr-sḫrw)’ (Osing, Grab des Nefersecheru, 1992, 66–72, pl. 42, cols. 10–11). Osing (1992a, 11–24; Osing, Grab des Nefersecheru, 1992, 68) plausibly suggests that the parallels of theme and language between the biography and the harper’s song indicate that the song was sung at Nefersekheru’s reward and then adapted to the tomb. The explicit references to the reward scene in the biography further support the view that the song was composed or adapted for Nefersekheru himself. Fischer-Elfert (in: GM 143, 1994, 47–8) offers a possible parallel from entries in the 13th Dynasty Papyrus Boulaq 18 in which an individual’s promotion to office is preceded by a banquet at which singers and harpists performed.
