In a letter from Gardiner - re the meaning of the above docket - he says = "the translation 'Jewels(?) of gold for the procession' is, I think, quite legitimate, but "procession made in the bed-chamber' must stand."

OLDBURY PLACE,
IGHTHAM,, Kent.
13. IX. 28.

My dear Carter,

Here is the translation of your transcription;--

<> "Made by the excellent servant of his Majesty",
<> "who seeks good and finds virtue",
<> "the efficient doer of things for his lord",
<> "doing useful things in the sacred place",
<> "Overseer of the Works in the Place of Eternity",

<> "the King's Scribe",
<> "Overseer of the Treasury",
<> "May3." (MAY3.)

You do not tell me what the object is that the inscription is upon. Is it a stone slab with scene? I think it highly probable that this May3 is the same person who is named in the Tuthmôsis IV graffito (see my note in the last number of the Journal of Egyptian Archaeology, p. 111). Many thanks for sending me the list of Mace's books. I am doing what I can about them.

Yours ever,

Perry E. Newberry

330, I. (SHAWABTIS. TEXTS UNDER SOLES OF FEET)

<> 1
Made by the true servant, beneficial to his lord, the King's scribe, Mîn-Nekht, for his Lord, the Osiris, Lord of the Two Lands, Neb-kheperu-Re, justified.

No. 318 B.=

Made by the servant beneficial to his Lord Neb-kheperu-Re, the Overseer of the treasury, Maya

Made by the Fanbearer on the right hand of the King, ... Mîn-[Nekht], for his Lord, the Osiris, Neb-kheperu-Re, justified.

330, K.

The Osiris, the King, Neb-kheperu-Re, justified, made by the Servant who makes to live the name of his Lord, the General Mîn-Nekht.

318, A.
<> 4
Made by the servant, beloved of his Lord, the General, Mîn-Nekht, for his Lord, the Osiris, the King Neb-khepru-Re, justified.

Mîn-Nekht is probably the same man who excavated the tomb for King Ay in Wadyein. He is possibly the same man who is mentioned in an unpublished stela at Ekhmîm of that reign, and there are stelae of the same person in the British Museum and also Berlin. For the overseer of the treasury, Maya, see note upon the cenotaph.
