Senba, justified.” Alnw. Het-kha-Usertsen was probably the pyramid
town of Usertsen II (Griffith, _K.P._, p. 58). Other mayors of this
locality are recorded in the tomb of Tehuti-hetep at El Bersheh
(Newberry, _El.B._ I., XXXIII); on a statue at Alnwick Castle
(Birch, _Cat. Alnw._, pp. 60-62), and on a scarab published on Pl.
XIII, 20 of the present work.
2. Cylinder-seal of a king with the Horus-name of Her-tep-tauï,
“Chieftain of the Two Lands,” and “beloved of Sebek, Lord of Sunu.”
Murch. This king certainly belongs to the beginning of the
Thirteenth Dynasty, but his personal name has not as yet been
fixed.
3. The full names and titles of king Amenenhat-senb-ef. Amh. This
beautiful cylinder-seal is of steatite, coated with a fine blue
glaze, and the hieroglyphs are very delicately cut. It was found at
Mohalla (Mualla), opposite Gebelên, and the monarch whose name it
records is otherwise unknown (_cf._ my note in _P.S.B.A._, XXI,
282).
4. “Sekhem-khu-tauï-ra, beloved of Sebek, Lord of Ref-sam (?).” B.M.
3663.

7. “The _Hek Khaskhet_, Ruler of the Mountains,” Khŷran (Khŷan). In the
possession of Signore Lanzone of Turin.

(Petrie, _Naqada_, LXXXI, 79), and belongs to the intermediate
period between the end of the Twelfth and the beginning of the
Eighteenth Dynasty.
9. Cylinder-seal, with interlacing coil-pattern. M-G. Of the early
Intermediate period.
10. “The _Hek nefer_, Good Ruler, Khŷan.” Athens.

Intermediate period.
13. “The Governor of the (Royal) City (_i.e._, Thebes) and Vezir,
Ankhu.” Figured in the Brit. Mus. _Add. MS._ 29816, f. 193. This
vezir lived under King Khenzer, of the Thirteenth Dynasty (_cf._ my
note in P.S.B.A. XXII, 64).

of Queen Hatshepsut, and the architect of the famous temple at Dêr
el Bahari. (For his biography, see my account of his life in Benson
and Gourlay’s _The Temple of Mut_, pp. 299-312, and a supplementary

12. “Se-hetep-ab-ra-senb.” Mr. Nahmann, Cairo. The back of this

at Dahshûr. (de M. _D._ I, fig. 147.)
31. “The Good God, Lord of two Lands, Nub-ka-ra, Usertsen.” M-G.
This scarab is perhaps a “late issue,” which might account for
the prenomen of Amenemhat II being joined to the nomen of an
Usertsen; or it may be a contemporary specimen, the two names
appearing being due to the co-regency of Amenemhat II and
Usertsen II.

------------------------------------------------------------------------
PLATE XI.
SCARABS OF OFFICIALS OF THE TWELFTH TO FOURTEENTH DYNASTIES.
1. “The Governor of the (Royal) City and Vezîr, Ptah-dedut-senb,
justified.” H-P. 3726. A clay impression of a somewhat similar seal
(of the Vezîr Ŷ-meru) was found by Prof. Petrie at Abydos.
2. “The Governor of the (Royal) City and Vezîr, Auŷ.” Murch. This Vezîr
is mentioned on a stela in Vien. (No. 117; _cf._ _Rec. des trav._,
IX, 62.)
3. “The Scribe of the Vezîr, Ren-ef-senb.” Thomp.
4. “The Superintendent of the Seal, Neb-re-sehui.” L. 6288. Three other
scarabs of this official are known: one is in the v-B. Coll. (Fr.
_Sc._ 90), another is in the Fitzw. Mus. (Budge, _Cat._ 155), and
the third is in Mr. Nahmann’s hands in Cairo.
5. “The Superintendent of the Seal, Up-em-heb.” Gr.
6. “The Superintendent of the Seal, Senba.” Gr. Another scarab of this
official is in the B.M. (24108, P. _Sc._ 445.)
7 and 8. “The Superintendent of the Seal, Senb-su-ma.” (Gr. and M-G.)
Several other scarabs of Senb-su-ma are known. Three are figured by
Petrie (SC. 446-448), from the Louvre, Petrie and Grant Colls.;
other specimens are in the Cairo Mus., the Amh. Coll. and the Edws.
Coll. A beautiful light blue glazed specimen was found at Kahûn (P.
_I._ VIII, 42), its provenance and style pointing to the late
Twelfth Dynasty as the date of this official. Senb-su-ma is named
on several stelae; one, in the Cairo Mus., gives the name of his
father, Sert-taui (M. _Cat. Ab._ 784); another, in the Leyd. Mus.
(V. 106) names his wife, “the Lady Tau-ma;” a third stela, in the
Cairo Mus. (M. _Cat. Ab._ 904) gives the name of his son, the _ari
at abu_, Pepa, whose scarab seal is in the Meux Coll. (Budge,
_Cat._ 455). Senb-su-ma’s name also occurs on stelae in the B.M.
(252); in the Ermitage Mus., St. Petersburg (58); and in the Turin
Mus. (1303). His tomb was at Dahshûr, a slab of stone from it
having been found in the cemetery of that place (M. _Mast._, p.
583).
9. “The Superintendent of the Seal, Yu-senb.” v-B. (Fr. _Sc._ 86.)
10. “The Superintendent of the Seal, Amenhetep.” v-B. (Fr. _Sc._ 91.)
Three other scarabs of this State Officer are known: one, with
continuous loop-pattern around the name, was found at Abydos
(_M.D._ 52 f.), and is figured in Pl. XVI, 3; another is in the
Petrie Coll., and the third is in the v-B. (Fr. _Sc._ 87.)
11. “The Superintendent of the Seal, Herfu.” L.
12. “The Superintendent of the Seal, Erde-ne-Ptah.” B. 17230. Another
specimen is in the Petrie Coll.
13. “The Deputy Superintendent of the Seal, Sehetep-ab-ra.” C.M. From
Abydos. (M. _Cat. Ab._ p. 541; _cf._ _M.D._, pl. 48 m.)
14. “The Scribe of the Superintendent of the Seal, Nehesi.” P.
15. “The Mayor, Tehuti-nekht.” Amh. This scarab was bought in Cairo in
1899, and came with many other antiquities from the tomb of
Tehuti-nekht at El Bersheh. Hence it can be dated to the reign of
Usertsen I, or at latest to the early years of Amenemhat II (see
Griffith and Newberry, _El Bersheh_ II, p. 13); it is consequently
the oldest _absolutely_ dated scarab of an official known.
16. “The Mayor, Amenemhat-senb-ne-Hather-ab.” L. Found in Phoenicia.
17. “The Mayor, Amenemhat.” L.
18. “The Mayor, Auŷ-mes.” B.M. 21906.
19. “The Great _Uartu_ of the (Royal) City, Sa-sebek.” -G. Another
scarab of this official, ornamented with a continuous loop
decoration, is in the v-B. (Fr. _Sc._ 118.)
20. “The _Uartu_ of the Ruler’s Table, Sebekhetep, son of the _Uartu_ of
the Ruler’s Table, Mentuhetep.” Ashm. Several other scarabs of this
official are known; two specimens are in the Louvre (P. _Sc._ 389,
391); another is in the Turin Mus. (1134; Klaproth, _Palin Coll._
1113); a fourth is in the Cairo Mus. (3795; from Abydos, M. _Cat.
Abyd._, p. 541; _cf._ _M.D._ pl. 48 n); and a fifth and well
preserved example is in the Petrie Coll.
21. “The Great General Pehui-ef-hu?” Murch.
22. “The General, Hora.” Ashm.
23. “The Superintendent of the _Mentiu_ (Asiatics), Ren-senb.” Evans.
24. “The Superintendent of the Great Kitchen (?) Herŷt (?)-si-hetep.”
Murch.
25. “The King’s Friend, the Superintendent of the Musicians, Neb-qemiu.”
Murch. A stela of this man, in the Cairo Mus. (M. _Cat. Abyd._
813), gives the names of his father, Hora, and mother, Sefget, and
certainly dates from the period of the Sebekhetep kings.
26. “The Surveyor, Nefer-sebek-dedu.” B.M. 28235.
27. “The Royal Scribe ... Aka-senb-na.” Murch.
28. “The Private Sealer, Sa-hather-aa.” Murch.
29. “The Storekeeper, Neb-seshenu.” Murch.
30. “The Instructor of the Followers, Deda, son of the Instructor of the
Followers, Beba.” Murch.
------------------------------------------------------------------------
PLATE XII.
SCARABS OF OFFICIALS OF THE
TWELFTH TO FOURTEENTH DYNASTIES—_continued_.
1. “The Royal Son, Antefa.” P. From the style of the cutting and the
back of this scarab, I should be inclined to recognize in this
Antefa one of the princes of the intermediate period between the
Thirteenth and Seventeenth Dynasties, rather than a prince of the
Eleventh Dynasty.
2. “The Royal Son Kha-kau.” L. Formerly in the Palin Coll. (Klaproth,
Pl. VI, 295.) Perhaps this is a scarab of Usertsen III before the
Ra was added to his name (?).
3. “The Royal Son, Sa-hather.” C.M. 3796. (M. _Cat. Abd._ 539.)
Sa-hather was the son of King Neferhetep.
4 and 5. “The Great Royal Wife who is united to the beauty of the White
Crown, Ana.” L. and v-B. Another specimen is in the Petrie Coll.
The style and cutting of these scarabs would point to the period of
the Sebekhetep kings.

in the B.M. 32265.

25. “The Royal Friend, Apepa.” W. (W. _S.B._)
26. “The Great Royal Wife who is united to the beauty of the White
Crown, Nub-hetep-tha.”[125] Murch. Another Scarab of this Queen is
given in Pl. XLIV, 13.
27. “The Lady, Nenna.” Murch. A lady of this name is mentioned on a
stela in the C.M. (No. 77).
28. “The Royal Sealer, Chief Steward and Royal Attendant, Tha-tha.”
Davis. Tha-tha is named on a stela in the Fitzw. Mus. (Budge,
_Cat._ 73).
29. “The Royal Sealer, Chief Steward and Royal Attendant, Ren-ef-em-ab.”
B.M. 28226.
