Hello,

If some people want to work on an inscription I'd like some help.
You can find following this link a picture of a seal and with it my reading
of the glyphs, proposition of transliteration and translation.
http://www.cliohist.net/hiero/sig/

I am having difficulties finding the pharoh. And why is it referred to as
mAa-xrw ? And what is this Ramses also mAa-xrw?
Also, I can't find what are the titles "jrt n nb pr" and "Tsw mH." 

In fact, I am having lots of difficulties !! Help is welcomed !

Hello Paul

My understanding of the text is that an official, Rameses, was royal scribe 
etc,etc to King Tarharka during the king's lifetime, which he, Rameses, 
wanted to be remembered for in his tomb. So by this time, both he and the 
king are dead . Hence both are mAa-Hrw.
I think  irt.n nb(t) pr  mHw  refers to his mother, not a commander.
ie. engendered by the lady of the house, mHw (her name)

I hope this is of some help,

Helen

I think that pharaoh is Taharka/Taharqa - the first sign is not N35 but N16/N17.
