Description | SB I 3533; C.Étiq.Mom. 251: Mummy label Wooden mummy label with an inscription running on 3 lines: "Horion lived 96 years (?), Amen". What was interpreted as an isopsephism (ϙς for ϙθ = 99 = amen) on the last line is probably the age of Horion that was omitted by the scribe and added later on a 3rd line (see Boyaval 1980: 167, n. 2). |
