PLATE VII.
CYLINDER-SEALS OF THE
TWELFTH TO SEVENTEENTH DYNASTIES.
1. “The Mayor of Het-kha-Usertsen and Superintendent of the Temple ... Senba, justified.” Alnw. Het-kha-Usertsen was probably the pyramid town of Usertsen II (Griffith, K.P., p. 58). Other mayors of this locality are recorded in the tomb of Tehuti-hetep at El Bersheh (Newberry, El.B. I., XXXIII); on a statue at Alnwick Castle (Birch, Cat.

2. Cylinder-seal of a king with the Horus-name of Her-tep-tauï, “Chieftain of the Two Lands,” and “beloved of Sebek, Lord of Sunu.” Murch. This king certainly belongs to the beginning of the Thirteenth Dynasty, but his personal name has not as yet been fixed.
3. The full names and titles of king Amenenhat-senb-ef. Amh. This beautiful cylinder-seal is of steatite, coated with a fine blue glaze, and the hieroglyphs are very delicately cut. It was found at Mohalla (Mualla), opposite Gebelên, and the monarch whose name it records is otherwise unknown (cf. my note in P.S.B.A., XXI, 282).

12. “Se-hetep-ab-ra-senb.” Mr. Nahmann, Cairo. The back of this seal is of the button-type.

31. “The Good God, Lord of two Lands, Nub-ka-ra, Usertsen.” M-G. This scarab is perhaps a “late issue,” which might account for the prenomen of Amenemhat II being joined to the nomen of an Usertsen; or it may be a contemporary specimen, the two names appearing being due to the co-regency of Amenemhat II and Usertsen II.
32. “The Royal Wife who is joined to the Beauty of the White Crown.” C.M. A queen’s scarab, found at Dahshûr. (de M. D. I, xx, 48 b.)

PLATE XI.
SCARABS OF OFFICIALS OF THE TWELFTH TO FOURTEENTH DYNASTIES.
1. “The Governor of the (Royal) City and Vezîr, Ptah-dedut-senb, justified.” H-P. 3726. A clay impression of a somewhat similar seal (of the Vezîr Ŷ-meru) was found by Prof. Petrie at Abydos.
2. “The Governor of the (Royal) City and Vezîr, Auŷ.” Murch. This Vezîr is mentioned on a stela in Vien. (No. 117; cf. Rec. des trav., IX, 62.)
3. “The Scribe of the Vezîr, Ren-ef-senb.” Thomp.
4. “The Superintendent of the Seal, Neb-re-sehui.” L. 6288. Three other scarabs of this official are known: one is in the v-B. Coll. (Fr. Sc. 90), another is in the Fitzw. Mus. (Budge, Cat. 155), and the third is in Mr. Nahmann’s hands in Cairo.
5. “The Superintendent of the Seal, Up-em-heb.” Gr.
6. “The Superintendent of the Seal, Senba.” Gr. Another scarab of this official is in the B.M. (24108, P. Sc. 445.)
7 and 8. “The Superintendent of the Seal, Senb-su-ma.” (Gr. and M-G.) Several other scarabs of Senb-su-ma are known. Three are figured by Petrie (Sc. 446-448), from the Louvre, Petrie and Grant Colls.; other specimens are in the Cairo Mus., the Amh. Coll. and the Edws. Coll. A beautiful light blue glazed specimen was found at Kahûn (P. I. VIII, 42), its provenance and style pointing to the late Twelfth Dynasty as the date of this official. Senb-su-ma is named on several stelae; one, in the Cairo Mus., gives the name of his father, Sert-taui (M. Cat. Ab. 784); another, in the Leyd. Mus. (V. 106) names his wife, “the Lady Tau-ma;” a third stela, in the Cairo Mus. (M. Cat. Ab. 904) gives the name of his son, the ari at abu, Pepa, whose scarab seal is in the Meux Coll. (Budge, Cat. 455). Senb-su-ma’s name also occurs on stelae in the B.M. (252); in the Ermitage Mus., St. Petersburg (58); and in the Turin Mus. (1303). His tomb was at Dahshûr, a slab of stone from it having been found in the cemetery of that place (M. Mast., p. 583).
9. “The Superintendent of the Seal, Yu-senb.” v-B. (Fr. Sc. 86.)
10. “The Superintendent of the Seal, Amenhetep.” v-B. (Fr. Sc. 91.) Three other scarabs of this State Officer are known: one, with continuous loop-pattern around the name, was found at Abydos (M.D. 52 f.), and is figured in Pl. XVI, 3; another is in the Petrie Coll., and the third is in the v-B. (Fr. Sc. 87.)
11. “The Superintendent of the Seal, Herfu.” L.
12. “The Superintendent of the Seal, Erde-ne-Ptah.” B. 17230. Another specimen is in the Petrie Coll.
13. “The Deputy Superintendent of the Seal, Sehetep-ab-ra.” C.M. From Abydos. (M. Cat. Ab. p. 541; cf. M.D., pl. 48 m.)
14. “The Scribe of the Superintendent of the Seal, Nehesi.” P.
15. “The Mayor, Tehuti-nekht.” Amh. This scarab was bought in Cairo in 1899, and came with many other antiquities from the tomb of Tehuti-nekht at El Bersheh. Hence it can be dated to the reign of Usertsen I, or at latest to the early years of Amenemhat II (see Griffith and Newberry, El Bersheh II, p. 13); it is consequently the oldest absolutely dated scarab of an official known.
16. “The Mayor, Amenemhat-senb-ne-Hather-ab.” L. Found in Phoenicia.
17. “The Mayor, Amenemhat.” L.
18. “The Mayor, Auŷ-mes.” B.M. 21906.
19. “The Great Uartu of the (Royal) City, Sa-sebek.” -G. Another scarab of this official, ornamented with a continuous loop decoration, is in the v-B. (Fr. Sc. 118.)
20. “The Uartu of the Ruler’s Table, Sebekhetep, son of the Uartu of the Ruler’s Table, Mentuhetep.” Ashm. Several other scarabs of this official are known; two specimens are in the Louvre (P. Sc. 389, 391); another is in the Turin Mus. (1134; Klaproth, Palin Coll. 1113); a fourth is in the Cairo Mus. (3795; from Abydos, M. Cat. Abyd., p. 541; cf. M.D. pl. 48 n); and a fifth and well preserved example is in the Petrie Coll.
21. “The Great General Pehui-ef-hu?” Murch.
22. “The General, Hora.” Ashm.
23. “The Superintendent of the Mentiu (Asiatics), Ren-senb.” Evans.
24. “The Superintendent of the Great Kitchen (?) Herŷt (?)-si-hetep.” Murch.
25. “The King’s Friend, the Superintendent of the Musicians, Neb-qemiu.” Murch. A stela of this man, in the Cairo Mus. (M. Cat. Abyd. 813), gives the names of his father, Hora, and mother, Sefget, and certainly dates from the period of the Sebekhetep kings.
26. “The Surveyor, Nefer-sebek-dedu.” B.M. 28235.
27. “The Royal Scribe ... Aka-senb-na.” Murch.
28. “The Private Sealer, Sa-hather-aa.” Murch.
29. “The Storekeeper, Neb-seshenu.” Murch.
30. “The Instructor of the Followers, Deda, son of the Instructor of the Followers, Beba.” Murch.
PLATE XII.
SCARABS OF OFFICIALS OF THE
TWELFTH TO FOURTEENTH DYNASTIES—continued.
1. “The Royal Son, Antefa.” P. From the style of the cutting and the back of this scarab, I should be inclined to recognize in this Antefa one of the princes of the intermediate period between the Thirteenth and Seventeenth Dynasties, rather than a prince of the Eleventh Dynasty.
2. “The Royal Son Kha-kau.” L. Formerly in the Palin Coll. (Klaproth, Pl. VI, 295.) Perhaps this is a scarab of Usertsen III before the Ra was added to his name (?).
3. “The Royal Son, Sa-hather.” C.M. 3796. (M. Cat. Abd. 539.) Sa-hather was the son of King Neferhetep.
4 and 5. “The Great Royal Wife who is united to the beauty of the White Crown, Ana.” L. and v-B. Another specimen is in the Petrie Coll. The style and cutting of these scarabs would point to the period of the Sebekhetep kings.
6. “The Royal Wife, Sat-sebek.” Davis. A similar scarab of this queen is in the B.M. 32265.
7. “The Royal Clothier, Nehy.” v-B.
