The Stela of Hori-Sheri at the Egyptian Museum (Cairo JE 59858)
Ahmed, Bassem;
Abstract
This paper deals with a rectangular limestone stela of the royal scribe @ri-Sri, son of the priest and the writer of
the necropolis 1mn nxt, son of 1pwy. @ri-Sri bears the same titles as his father. So he was also the royal scribe
of the necropolis of Xn xni, which probably refers to the west bank of Thebes. Hori-Sheri then inherited this
position from his father, the name of @ri-Sri was also written on a rock behind Medinat Habu at the reign of
Ramses III. The stela is in the style of stelae of 20th dynasty. It bears no royal name, but from the name of the
owner and his father we can infer that he lived during the reign of the Ramses III. He was the royal scribe of the
necropolis of Thebes, as indicated by Papyrus Abbott 5, and a rock engraving behind Medinet Habu.
