Abstract

The texts inscribed on the coffins of the family of the priest “Mr-in-Khonsu" varied among dedicatory, offering, and religious texts. The dedicatory texts affirmed the coffin owner's eligibility and ownership of the coffin by recording his name and titles on its surface, ensuring his survival in the afterlife. Offering texts, on the other hand, began with an offering formula addressed to the deities depicted on the coffin. This offering formula was usually in the form of “Htp di nsw".

This study aims to shed light on the most important texts found on the coffins of the family of the priest “Mr-in-Khonsu", which date back to the Late Period. It also provides a translation of the most significant and similar texts inscribed on the sides of these coffins. Examples of these texts include Pyramid Texts and chapters from the Book of the Dead. Additionally, a statistical analysis was also carried out detailing the numbers of these spells and chapters, clarifying the number of times they were mentioned, the coffin numbers where these texts and chapters appeared and a translation of an example from each section.

The importance of this research lies in its focus on the most significant texts related to the coffins of the family of the priest “Mr-in-Khonsu", along with clarification of the number of times they were mentioned and their numbers.
