1. Kirgipa and Her Harîm.

Two specimens of this scarab are known, and it is perhaps the most interesting one of the series. One example is preserved in the Berl. Mus. (11002), the other was in the possession of Madame Hoffmann. An elaborate study of the text of the latter example has been published by Brugsch in the Ä.Z., XVIII, 81, and Maspero has given a drawing of the inscription (by Legrain, from a paper impression) in his Recueil des Travaux, XV, 200. The text given in the Plate is from the Berlin specimen, restored from Maspero’s published copy.
