1 This name is not attested in Lüddeckens, Demotisches Namenbuch, 1979-2000. But from the similar name Pꜣ-šr-Tꜣ-šr.t-Pꜣ-ḏı͗-Mn Psensenpeteminis *(Greek Ψενσενπετεμινις) (ibid. 268), the name attested here can be reconstructed as being in Greek *Psensenpeteyris (*Ψενσενπετευρις) 2 For writings of the element ꜣs.t similar as that for šr.t see Lüddeckens Demotisches Namenbuch, 1979-2000, 807 – 808, nos. 34-60, but all those date rather early. 3 The existence of this line is only known through the inventory entry mentioning 12 lines. Today this lower passage is lost. |
