It will be seen here that the mother’s name is again misspelled. 
On the left side these cross lines are much damaged, but they 
read :—

Says, Ra Harmayis, thousands of beer, thousands of wine, thousands of 
ahau xa em aptu. ya em merhu xaem  hebs meny xa em 
oxen, thousands of ducks, thousands of wax, thousands of clothing, thousands of 
neter senter xa em hetepu ya em tefu neb 
incense, thousands of offerings, thousands of gifts, all, &c. 
and so on, as on the other side. 
The back inscriptions are scrawled and frequently misspelled, but 
there is close under the margin, separated therefrom and from the 
cross lines by chequered bands, a very well executed line which is 
precisely similar to the legend of the cross lines on the right, but 
which on the left reads— 
Ta suten hetep Seb erpa neteru Anpu . her Taser neb ta ta Amset 
ta ef, &e. 
The name of the lady is one with which I am not familiar, but it 
is one of a group which seemed to be fairly common, especially in the 
new Empire. Thus Lieblein has chronicled examples of Tes-mut-per 
(1118 and 1829), Tes-ra-per (11386), Tesyonsu (1187), and Tes-aset- 
per (1155). Most of these have the peculiar determinative, somewhat 
like a linear quadruped with erect tail sitting on its hind legs, and 
resembling the figure with the syllabic value set. 
The mother’s name Tafneyt is not so uncommon, and examples of 
it are given in Lieblein (1066 and (1067). 
In all cases Tes-net-per’s name is spelled with a prosthetic s, which 
is simply a phonetic complement of the syllabic sign for ¢es.
