Abstract

    This paper deals with the stela of  “ ^d-it.f"and his wife   “Pryt". It is a stela made of limestone in a good state of preservation in terms of engravings, colors and artistic elements, Except for some minor cracks on the outer frame now preserved in the Cairo International Airport Museum[1], No.TR 19:11:24:2.  This stela was found in Naga-ed-Der, Sohag, el- Sheikh Farag site: SH200, Tomb 203, Upper Egypt (Excavated by G. Reisner for the Hearst Egyptian Expedition, the University of California). This stela contains three registers; the first includes the main text, and contains the formula for offerings, which consists of four horizontal lines. The second register contains a scene representing the owner of the stela standing, holding a staff and scepter, with offerings in front of him on top of a basket, and his wife standing behind him. The third register consists of two vertical lines of inscriptions relating to appeals to the living as well as types of offering. The stela dates back to the First Intermediate period[2]. The current research presents a study of this stela through several main elements: describing the scenes contained therein, copying and translating the hieroglyphic texts, and commenting on them artistically and linguistically.
 
 
[1] The stela was transferred to the Cairo International Airport Museum from
    Cairo  Museum.
