Zwei Bemerkungen zu Gebel es-Silsila Nr. 100

Abstract

The stela of Shoshenq I at Gebel es-Silsila contains a verb mtj that has been considered as an early example of mtj/mtr, ‘to be pleased’ (attested mainly in demotic). This paper tries to show that it belongs to the stem mtn/mtn, ‘to reward’. A writing of the infinitive of jrj on this same stela as jr.nn is attested several times at the beginning of the Twenty-second Dynasty.
