The present contribution is the editio princeps of pBM EA 10669, of which, despite its very interesting content, no notice has been taken thus far. The papyrus bears a text about a nine-headed figure with the main head in the form of a human being. Various passages inscribed on the papyrus can be paralleled directly with other texts from Egypt and thus offer an informative insight into the religious history of multi-headed beings, particularly during the Late Period in Egypt. [Formula: see text]
目前的贡献是pBM EA 10669的版本原则，尽管它的内容非常有趣，但到目前为止还没有注意到它。莎草纸上有一篇关于一个九头人物的文字，其中主要的头部是一个人的形状。纸莎草纸上的各种段落可以与埃及的其他文本直接平行，从而提供了对多头生物的宗教历史的信息，特别是在埃及晚期。[公式:见正文]

This paper deals with the discovery of a cemetery at Amarna site O45.1. The cemetery was originally thought to pre-date the establishment of Amarna but more recent evidence from elsewhere at Amarna suggests that it actually belongs to a period early in the construction of the city.

This article discusses a fragment of a model of a tower house found on the surface at Kom el-Gir in the central northwestern Delta. The settlement of Kom el-Gir, which was used at least from the Ptolemaic to the Late Roman Periods, showed a dense occupation of tower houses, based on magnetic prospection. A reconstruction of what the house model may have looked like is suggested and the possible uses of such house models are discussed. [Formula: see text]

This article discusses 28 attestations of Igai, ‘the Lord of the Oasis’, some of them overlooked in previous work on the god. After a survey of previous research, the question of his name will be briefly addressed, and a diachronic analysis of his attestations will be presented. A table summarising the attestations mentioned in the text can be found at the end of the article.

The book Egypt Beyond Representation: Materials and Materiality of Aegyptiaca Romana is a 430-page volume, derived with little or no changes from the PhD dissertation of the author (Leiden University, 2017). Published in the ASLU series, it is divided into four main parts: first, an introduction dealing with the historiography of ancient Egypt, Egyptology and the Aegyptiaca, as well as existing classification(s) of Aegyptiaca. Second, a chapter entitled ‘Understanding stone in the Roman world’, which deals with various themes, such as provenance, style and workmanship of stone and stone artefacts in the Roman world, and Roman perceptions of stone. Third, an important section on materials and methods that includes a rock classification and source determination subsection, and the studied corpus of Aegyptiaca. The fourth and last part comprises data analysis and discussion, and is named ‘Aegyptiaca beyond representation’. It is followed by a brief outlook and a series of appendices on ancient written sources on the use of stone(s) in Rome, the transportation of obelisks to Rome, and the various uses of limestone and sandstone in Egypt. The bibliography closes the book. Note that the Dutch summary and the curriculum vitae of the author, listed in the table of contents, are not given in the published version of the book. As stated earlier, the book is a published PhD dissertation rather than a textbook, which has advantages and disadvantages. Advantages of PhD theses are well known: extensive work done by the applicant is made available to the reader. In this case, Sander Müskens provides a wealth of useful data: on the historiography of his research theme; the coloured marbles used in Rome; a rock classification; the Aegyptiaca; statistics and maps; written Latin sources; and a robust list of references. But there are also disadvantages: the abundance of data may – and does, in this case – obscure the line of reasoning; there are many redundancies; the structure is not ideal. It is obvious that with additional editorial work the book would have lost its somewhat ‘halfbaked’ character. The ambitious objective of the book is given by the author in the ‘set-up and aims’ section: study the corpus of Aegyptiaca ‘beyond representation’ – which means that the study has to: (1) focus on the material aspects of the objects; and (2) ‘break away from static interpretations of material culture as mere passive expressions, or representations, of fixed cultural meanings’ (p. 29). Müskens further explains that questions of ‘what objects mean’ are redirected to questions ‘how objects were used, and which characteristics determined how they functioned’ (p. 30). Understanding stone in the Roman world is the objective of the next 30 pages. This part of the book reminds the reader that the Roman ‘stone greed’ increased with time and that it had significant consequences on the internationalization of trade, industrialization of extraction and the setting of marble yards

As did Greek and Roman temples, Egyptian temples preserved collections of valuable objects or nouophores, i.e. ‘bearers of meaning’ (I). Two main types of nouophores can be distinguished in Egyptian temples (II): statues displayed in the temple (III), and ritual objects of costly materials stored in special chambers (IV). An examination of these collections suggests that the Egyptian temple functioned as an institution to collect and preserve the cultural heritage of ancient Egypt (V).

This is the second half of the paper on the Pharaonic titulary of Alexander the Great, the first one of which appeared in the previous issue of this journal. The remaining element of the protocol of the king—his Personal name—is analysed here, as is the occasional use of empty cartouches. A final section with the concluding remarks is also included, together with an appendix collecting the bibliographical references in which the attestations discussed in the two parts of the paper can be found.

Several temples, both of the New Kingdom as well as of the Graeco-Roman period, contain spells from the Book of the Dead among their decoration. The present paper gathers all the attestations and discusses their significance in a temple context. This leads to new insights on the origins and meanings of the respective spells in general.
