In the reign of Sety I, several versions of the royal titulary appeared on monuments throughout Egypt. It has long been known that Sety’s nomen cartouche appeared in his tomb and his temple at Abydos in Osirianized form by replacing the hieroglyphic figure of Seth with that of Osiris. A new identification of such a cartouche on the stela OIM E10507, discussed below, supports attributing its provenience to Abydos as a votive memorial in the cult of Osiris and king, rather than to Saqqara as has been previously suggested. Furthermore, in seeking to localize the nomen of Sety I, it will be shown that the “Osirianized” forms of this cartouche is more widely attested than previously doc umented. Long viewed as one of the highlights on dis play in the Oriental Institute Museum (OIM) is a large limestone slab measuring 39.5 × 51.3 × 7 cm and decorated with a sunken relief scene of two men conducting rituals before images of Sety I and Ramses II (Fig. 1). The limestone block was purchased on November 22, 1919 by James Henry Breasted from the antiquities

Background: Indirect reference intervals require robust statistical approaches to separate the pathological and healthy values. This can be achieved with a data pipeline created in R, a freely available statistical programming language.
Methods: A data pipeline was created to ingest, partition, normalize, remove outliers, and identify reference intervals for testosterone (Testo; n = 7,207) and aspartate aminotransferase (AST; n = 5,882) using data sets from NHANES.
Results: The estimates for AST and Testo determined by this pipeline approximated current RIs. Care should be taken when using this pipeline as there are limitations that depend on the pathology of the analyte and the data set being used for RI estimation.
Conclusions: R can be used to create a robust statistical reference interval pipeline.

The peoples referenced in the title of this paper—Syrians and Lycians—are among those that occupy the attention of one Isidoros, an inhabitant of an Egyptian village in the Lake district (Fayum) near the beginning of the first century bce. We know nothing about Isidoros beyond what he reveals in the four hymns for the goddess Renenutet or Hermouthis (in Greek transliteration) which he had inscribed on monumental slabs at the entrance to a temple in the village of Narmouthis (modern Medinet Madi).1 These inscriptions aimed at honoring a local goddess, remembering an ideal pharaoh who founded the temple (Amenemhet III), and bringing together local Egyptians and immigrants; altogether, they provide a fascinating glimpse into important dimensions of social and cultural life in this period.
