Abstract:
This paper aims to publish and study a limestone funerary stele from Abydos, which is now preserved in Sharm El- Sheikh Museum. Stele understudy was found at Abydos by Mariette and measures 57 cm high and 23 cm width. It belongs to the Chief of Physicians, Magician, and Scribe of the Archive Nmty-m-HAt and his son master of secret in the Funerary Work-shop, the scribe, chief of his denomination &tw. The state of preservation is very good; it is divided into four registers, including the offering formula which is dedicated to the standard gods at Abydos steles during the middle kingdom. This essay seeks to discuss the meanings of names and titles, copies and translates manuscripts, and comments on the spelling features and marks of the stele. The inscriptions contain some interesting features in the orthography of the epithets and offering formulae. On the basis of stylistic features, the stele dated to the Early 12th dynasty.
