The present part of "Hieroglyphic Texts from Egyptian Stelae, etc., in the British Museum," contains the first instalment of copies of the Funerary Stelae of the XIIth and XlIIth dynasties which are exhibited in the Vestibule and Northern Egyptian Gallery.

The greater number of the texts are inscriptions which contain prayers to the Gods of the Dead on behalf of the deceased persons whose figures are cut or painted on the stelae, with their families, servants and others, who are represented making offerings to them. The prayers are petitions that sepulchral meals may be given to the "Kau" or " Doubles" of the deceased persons; and, on many of the stelae there are cut addresses to the visitors to the cemetery, in which they are entreated to pray that a regular supply of offerings may be provided for the dead. These funerary stelae are very important, for they illustrate the development of the Egyptian cult of the dead at Abydos, and show how Osiris came to be identified with the local god Khent-Amenti, and how he rose to the position of Chief god and ] udge of the dead.

Of the remainder, a few texts are biographical, e.g-. , those of Khent-em-semt (Plate VI I I), Sa-Hathor (Plates XIX and XX), and Sa-Mentu (Plate XXI). By the information derived from the inscription of Sa-Mentu, the order of the succession of the kings of the X II th dynasty was settled. Man y of the inscriptions are here published for the first time.

The drawings and copies of the texts on Plates I-VI, VIII-XVI, and XVIIIXXI I are the work of the late Mr. P. D. Scott-Moncrieff, M.A., Assistant in the Department. The drawings on all the other Plates were made by Mr. E. ]. Lambert, and the inscriptions on them were copied by Mr. H. R. Hall, M.A., F.S.A., Assistant in the Department, who has also drawn up the descriptions of the Plates.
