The present paper aims to publish and study a block statue of a person named
"anx - PA - Xrd", son of pA-di-nfr-Htp and Ns-nt-Drt.
It was discovered by Legran in the Karnak Cache on 1904 in the Thebes area, and had not
been previously published.It is a statue made of hardended diorite in a good
condition of preservation, It is currently in the Egyptian Museum in Cairo
(JE36735)1. The statue includes the priestly titles of the owner of the statue, the
genealogy of his family and their priestly titles, as well as the formula for the
offerings presented by the king to the Theban Trinity of Amun, Mut, and Khonsu ,
and the formula of the appeal to the gods in order to perpetuate the name of the
owner of the statue in the other world.
The inscriptions of the statue in the general total are in good condition of
preservation, allowing copies and translation of the texts, and the facade includes
ten rows of inscriptions, we note that seven rows are clear at a good condition,
while the lower three rows are somewhat faded, but the interface in the general
total is clear at a good proportion, and for the back column inscriptions, they are
clear in a good proportion, but we notice faded parts on the first and second
columns from the bottom. We also note that the base is not prepared for writing
and is not level, so it is completely free of inscriptions. The research dealt with this
statue through several main elements, it is the translation of the hieroglyphic texts,
and commenting on them technically and linguistically. The statue was mistakenly
recorded in the database of the Egyptian Museum in the late period; and through
the study, the researcher was able to date it to the first quarter of the Ptolemaic
period (the reign of Ptolemy II).
