TRANSCRIBER’S NOTE

Original spelling and grammar have been generally retained, with some exceptions noted below. Original printed page numbers are shown like this: {52}. Anchored notes (e.g. footnotes) have been relabeled 1–13, and moved from within paragraphs to nearby locations between paragraphs. Large curly brackets { } that graphically indicate combination of information on two or more lines of text have been removed. Several Unicode characters that are poorly supported in current ebook browsers have been replaced with images: ‹Ḥ› U+1e24, ‹ḥ› U+1e25, ‹ḫ› U+1e2b, ‹Ṭ› U+1e6c, and ‹ṭ› U+1e6d. I produced the cover image and hereby assign it to the public domain. Original page images are available from archive.org—search for “aswnobeliskwiths00egyp”.
