What is it about?
This contribution publishes for the first time a limestone stela on display at the Cairo Museum (JE 18924 [TR.20/1/21/31]) belonging to a man named Ṯnr, who served as an outline-draftsman in the Late Eighteenth Dynasty, probably in the reign of Thutmose IV / Amenhotep III, to judge by a dating on stylistic grounds. Interestingly, Osiris is designated on the stela as ḫnty ʾIꜢbt, “foremost of the East.”
