A Ghost-Name of a h rd n kȝp

Abstract

The name Nn-dw-r.f, supposedly borne by a hrd n kȝp, should be read Nn-tȝ-wȝ-r.f. The name was misread in a later report on excavations in the Theban necropolis at the beginning of this century. Subsequently the stelephorous statue involved was published, but because of the misinterpretation, the link with the excavations was not made. The discarding of this ghost-name thus shows us exactly where some of the objects belonging to the funerary equipment of this well-known official of the Eighteenth Dynasty were found.
