Scarabs — Part 51

10. “Se-ankh-ka-ra” (Mentuhetep [IV ?]). P. For this king’s personal name, see a monument in the Cairo Museum (No. 31439).

11. “Se-hetep-ab-ra” (Amenemhat I). W. _S.B._ I, 215.

12. “Se-hetep-ab-ra-senb.” Mr. Nahmann, Cairo. The back of this seal is of the button-type.

13. “Kheper-ka-ra” (Usertsen I). Gr. This scarab-seal has a back of the “Yabek-her” type (_cf._ fig. 68, p. 73), with a lotus flower engraved on the right wing.

24. “Kha-kau-ra” (Usertsen III). C.M. Found at Dahshûr (_cf._ de M. _D._ I, vi, 4).

27. “Ne-maat-ra” (Amenemhat III), with titles. C.M. This scarab is of lapis-lazuli, set in a gold funda, and was found at Dahshûr, (de M. _D._ I, fig. 148.)

28. “Ne-maat-ra” (Amenemhat III). C.M. Of emerald stone, and found at Dahshûr. (de M. _D._ I, fig. 149.)

30. “The Royal Daughter, Merert.” C.M. Of lapis-lazuli, and found at Dahshûr. (de M. _D._ I, fig. 147.)

31. “The Good God, Lord of two Lands, Nub-ka-ra, Usertsen.” M-G. This scarab is perhaps a “late issue,” which might account for the prenomen of Amenemhat II being joined to the nomen of an Usertsen; or it may be a contemporary specimen, the two names appearing being due to the co-regency of Amenemhat II and Usertsen II.

32. “The Royal Wife who is joined to the Beauty of the White Crown.” C.M. A queen’s scarab, found at Dahshûr. (de M. _D._ I, xx, 48 b.)

33. “The Royal Daughter, Sat-hather.” C.M. Found at Dahshûr. (de M. _D._ I, fig. 153.)

34. “The Royal Daughter, Merŷt.” C.M. Found at Dahshûr. (de M. _D._ I, fig. 152.)

35. “The Hereditary Chieftainess, the Royal Princess, Anket-nefret-uben.” v-B. (Fr. _Sc._ 75). Two other scarabs of this princess are known, one in the v-B. Coll. (Fr. _Sc._ 76), and the other in the Petrie Coll.

36. “Ne-maat-ra” (Amenemhat III), with titles. L. A similar specimen is in the Petrie Coll.

39. “The Hereditary Chieftainess, the Royal Princess, Nub-em-ant.” v-B. (F. _Sc._ 80.)
