The present part of "Hieroglyphic Texts from Egyptian Stelae, etc., in the

British Museum," contains the first instalment of copies of the Funerary Stelae of

the Xllth and Xlllth dynasties which are exhibited in the Vestibule and Northern

Egyptian Gallery.

The greater number of the texts are inscriptions which contain prayers to the

Gods of the Dead on behalf of the deceased persons whose figures are cut or painted

on the stelae, with their families, servants and others, who are represented making

offerings to them. The prayers are petitions that sepulchral meals may be given to

the" Kau "

or "Doubles" of the deceased persons; and, on many of the stelae

there are cut addresses to the visitors to the cemetery, in which they are entreated

to pray that a regular supply of offerings may be provided for the dead. These

funerary stelae are very important, for they illustrate the development of the

Egyptian cult of the dead at Abydos, and show how Osiris came to be identified

with the local god Khent-Amenti, and how he rose to the position of Chief god and

Judge of the dead.

Of the remainder, a few texts are biographical, c.o-., those of Khent-em-semt

(Plate VIII), Sa-Hathor (Plates XIX and XX), and Sa-Mentu (Plate XXI). Bythe information derived from the inscription of Sa-Mentu, the order of the succession

of the kings of the Xllth dynasty was settled. Many of the inscriptions are here

published for the first time.

The drawings and copies of the texts on Plates I-VI, VIII-XVI, and XVIII-

XXII are the work of the late Mr. P. D. Scott-Moncrieff, M.A., Assistant in the

Department. The drawings on all the other Plates were made by Mr. E. J. Lambert,

and the inscriptions on them were copied by Mr. H. R. Hall, M.A., F.S.A.,

Assistant in the Department, who has also drawn up the descriptions of the Plates.
