Transcription | Translation | Pictures | ||||||||||||||||||||
1 Transkription and translation of this unusual passage according to D. Devauchelle, Ostraca démotiques du Musée du Louvre, Cairo 1983 (BdÉ 92) (= O. Louvre), 61-62, pl. XXVIII no. 120, possibly due to awkwardness of the scribe. Also the missing of the qd as well as of ḥḏ is unusual. |
