Ibrahim Hilmy, I, 103: "The black marble sarcophagus of this queen was found at Thebes.... It forms one of the most remarkable monuments of the XXVI Dynasty. The text--reproduced in hieroglyphic type--contains the prayers of the queen to the gods, and their responses. It supplies variants of some of the chapters of the Ritual, or Book of the Dead, and many of the passages point to originals in the 'Pyramid Texts' published by M. Maspero. A literal translation and transliteration are given, with a general introduction and a running translation, also a list of the words contained in the text.
