Abstract

This paper aims at publishing a private round-topped limestone stela of Psmatik. It is on display at Imhotep Museum, Saqqara. It is registered under n° SQ. CU. 149. It was discovered by the excavation team of Cairo University at Saqqara. Fortunately, the stela is in a very good state of preservation. It measures 33.5 cm in height and 23.5 in width. It belongs to the god father Psmtik who was probably a priest lived during the reign of King Necho II during the 26th Dynasty, Saite Period. The stela is divided into two parts; the upper part is inscribed with the htp dj nsw formula. It shows Psmatik sitting in front of an offering table together with two servants. As for the lower part, it carries Hieroglyphic inscriptions written in nine horizontal lines reading from right to left. It carries the name of King Necho II written within a cartouche. This research deals with publishing and studying the stela of the divine father Psmatik through analyzing the inscriptions, and scenes that the stela carries.
