7 and 8. “The Superintendent of the Seal, Senb-su-ma.” (Gr. and M-G.) Several other scarabs of Senb-su-ma are known. Three are figured by Petrie (SC. 446-448), from the Louvre, Petrie and Grant Colls.; other specimens are in the Cairo Mus., the Amh. Coll. and the Edws. Coll. A beautiful light blue glazed specimen was found at Kahûn (P. _I._ VIII, 42), its provenance and style pointing to the late Twelfth Dynasty as the date of this official. Senb-su-ma is named on several stelae; one, in the Cairo Mus., gives the name of his father, Sert-taui (M. _Cat. Ab._ 784); another, in the Leyd. Mus. (V. 106) names his wife, “the Lady Tau-ma;” a third stela, in the Cairo Mus. (M. _Cat. Ab._ 904) gives the name of his son, the _ari at abu_, Pepa, whose scarab seal is in the Meux Coll. (Budge, _Cat._ 455). Senb-su-ma’s name also occurs on stelae in the B.M. (252); in the Ermitage Mus., St. Petersburg (58); and in the Turin Mus. (1303). His tomb was at Dahshûr, a slab of stone from it having been found in the cemetery of that place (M. _Mast._, p. 583).

10. “The Superintendent of the Seal, Amenhetep.” v-B. (Fr. _Sc._ 91.) Three other scarabs of this State Officer are known: one, with continuous loop-pattern around the name, was found at Abydos (_M.D._ 52 f.), and is figured in Pl. XVI, 3; another is in the Petrie Coll., and the third is in the v-B. (Fr. _Sc._ 87.)

11. “The Superintendent of the Seal, Herfu.” L.

12. “The Superintendent of the Seal, Erde-ne-Ptah.” B. 17230. Another specimen is in the Petrie Coll.

13. “The Deputy Superintendent of the Seal, Sehetep-ab-ra.” C.M. From Abydos. (M. _Cat. Ab._ p. 541; _cf._ _M.D._, pl. 48 m.)

14. “The Scribe of the Superintendent of the Seal, Nehesi.” P.

15. “The Mayor, Tehuti-nekht.” Amh. This scarab was bought in Cairo in 1899, and came with many other antiquities from the tomb of Tehuti-nekht at El Bersheh. Hence it can be dated to the reign of Usertsen I, or at latest to the early years of Amenemhat II (see Griffith and Newberry, _El Bersheh_ II, p. 13); it is consequently the oldest _absolutely_ dated scarab of an official known.
