Case 74. Mummy of a Graeco -Egyptian youth, whose portrait is 
placed on the head, painted on cedar. 
Case 75. Mummy and coffin of a Grseco-Egyptian girl, named 
Tphous, daughter of Heraclius Soter ; on the coffin is a Greek inscrip- 
tion, recording her death in the lith year of Hadrian, a.d. 127. 
Case 103. Sarcophagus of Mentuhetp, a functionary of about the 
11th dynasty. 
Case 104. Sarcophagus of Amam, an officer under one of the older 
dynasties. 
' Cases (A) 77, (B) 90, and (C) 1 05, in the centre of the room. Two 
large wooden coffins of the Roman period. One is that of Cleopatra, 
of the family of Soter, the other of Soter himself, an archon of Thebes, 
in the reign of Trajan ; and the outer, inner case, and mummy of a 
female named Shepshet, about b.c. 700. 
In the upper part of the Cases just mentioned are placed personal 
ornaments, amulets, and scarabsei, chiefly found with the mummies. 
The scarabsei frequently bear the names of kings, showing probably 
that the persons interred had borne office under those monarchs. The 
most remarkable are some small scarabaei in Division 95, with the names 
of Cheops and Chephren,the kings who built the Great and the Second 
pyramids, and several large scarabaei of the reign of Amenophis III. ; 
one (No. 4095) recording the number of lions slain by the king within 
-a certain period; the other (No. 4096) relating to his marriage with 
Queen Taia, and the extent of his dominions. 
Returning to the Wall Gases, we find mummies of sacred animals as 
follows : — Cases 5*2, 53. Mummies of cynocephali, jackals, and cats. 
Cases 54, 55. Mummies of sacred bulls and of rams, the head^ 
and principal bones only embalmed. Cases 56, 57. Mummies of 
the Ibis, sacred to Thoth ; and specimens of the conical, covered pots 
in which they were deposited. Case 58. Mummies of crocodiles, 
emblems of Sebak, and of snakes, emblems of Isis. Case 60. Mum- 
mies of snakes and fish. 
In Cases 61, 62, are specimens of unburnt bricks, some stamped 
with the names of kings of the 18th and 19th dynasties. 
Cases 63, 64. Fragments of mummy-coffins and sepulchral tablets. 
Over the Cases on the East and West sides of the room are placed 
casts from sculptured and painted bas-reliefs at the entrance of the 
small temple of Beit-Oually in Nubia. One represents the victories of 
Rameses 11. over the Ethiopians ; the other the victories of the same 
monarch over some Asiatic nations.
