I have no idea if this will help, as it sounds like the literal meaning might not convey the actual Egyptian meaning very well. Free translation gave me "Director of the storages," AltaVista gave me "Chief of the memory" (?) and another translator gave me "Chief of the warehouses."

Thus I'd conclude that it was at least vaguely related both to administration and perhaps to overseeing the storage of something. Does that help at all? It sounds utterly useless to me. Ask Kmt_Sesh, perhaps? He said something about doing German. I'm useless with Modern Languages. Overall I do English, French, Ancient Greek, Latin and Hieroglyphs . . . but not German, regrettably. It's a really interesting language, and sounds fantastic!

Thanks for the help Psusennes.
I wonder if Overseer of the Storehouses is the title meant (that one at least sounds familiar.)

You might still like the texts by Sethe. They are on this site:
http://www.etana.org/abzu/
It's page 13 if you go to the Authors starting with 'S' page.

One link is the paper in German I was reading, but the other pages are actually copies of the real hieroglyphic inscriptions. You might get a kick of reading some of the texts in their hieroghyphic form :D

Wow! They have the actual works of the Leipzig University on the net. . . and most of his illustration of the Berlin Pyramid texts. That website is a goldmine! If you could see me now, jumping up and down! :D Most of it's beyond me, but I can understand a few sentences:

'P' rots not, he decays not! 'P' shall not be constrained by your terrible wrath O Mighty Gods! (annoyingly I don't know who 'P' is)

It's such a fantastic piece of literature. They analyse the Bible at school- why not Egyptian?! Actually I did come across one person who studied the Adomnitions of Ipuwerat school; they came here seeking some help understanding the unusual metaphor.

LOL I figured you would love it.

It has an amazing collection of texts as you mentioned. I think it's great that they made all of this available through the internet.

It was the place where I initially read Breasted's Ancient records. I have since then bought volumes 1-3 because I just don't like reading on my computer screen too much.


Did you mean Lepsius in your post. I at one point looked through his online collection kept at the university of Halle. The text is in German, but again there are electronic copies of his copies of the inscriptions he made. My computer at home is too slow, but I sometimes look at it at work :wink:
