- Notes
- The inscription on the stand of Bebib is correctly transcribed here as [Hm kA], however it is mistranslated as "funerary offerings." In the final publication (Fisher, Minor Cemetery, p.156) the mistranslation remains, and the transcription is also incorrect, the sign [prt xrw] having been substituted for [Hm kA].
