[38] Mariette, “Notice des principaux monuments du Musée de Boulaq,” 6th edition, 1876, p. 216, No. 582. The Boulaq Museum possesses a second statue of the same person (ibid., p. 93, No. 28), but of a less fine execution than the statue No. 582. Cf. what is said of the two statues on [pp. 70–73] of this volume.
[39] Mariette, “Notice,” p. 217: “The sum of the qualities, and study of the inscriptions on the base of the monument, leave no doubt as to the epoch to which it belongs. Rânofir evidently lived under the Ancient Empire. His titles bring him near the Vth Dynasty.” The study of the inscriptions leads me to be more certain than Mariette was. Rânofir undoubtedly lived at the end of the Vth Dynasty.
