Abstract

The main purpose of this paper is the publication and study of a funerary Ptolemaic stelae namely inventory number 26942 preserved in the Grand Egyptian Museum[1]. Illustrated drawing is produced for the first time. This stela is made of a creamy sand stone of good quality. It's height is so taller than it's wide, measuring 91 X 36.5 cm. It is undoubtedly a tomb-stela.  Although we do not have any documentary evidence showing the exact area where it has been found, one of  it's sentences, line 4, provides that the owner erected his tomb in the Necropolis of Heliopolis.   [1] My deepest thanks and gratitude to Dr. T.S Tawfik, former Director of the Grand Egyptian Museum for permission to publish these pieces and for providing me with study facilities  in the Museum.
