1 Reading variant šꜥ.tw „bis“ (Zauzich, P. Berl. Eleph. 2 (1993)) is doubted by M. Smith, Enchoria 24, 1997/98, 204 cf. Den Brinker / Muhs / Vleeming, DBL (2005), 54. 2 According to Vleeming, DBL in A. D. 2007 (2008). Reading variant Zauzich, P. Berl. Eleph. 2 (1993): mr „belieben“. 3 According to Zauzich, P. Berl. Eleph. 2 (1993) it is not clear if ḥm nṯr Wsı͗r is a title or a name. Thesaurus Linguae Aegyptiae gives the reading as a title, as it is given here, too. Den Brinker / Muhs / Vleeming, DBL (2005), 54, however, prefer a personal name. |
