Note 90 — LETTER XXVI.

Reading edition

The literal expression is, that he has built the temple “to his image, Ra-neb-ma, living on the earth.” The word chent no longer exists in Koptic, but it is always translated εἰκών on the Rosetta stone. The temple and the place belonging to it was also named after the king, but according to his Horus-name, “Dwelling-place of Sha-em-ma;” this led to the recognition of the original position of the ram of Barkal and the lions in the British Museum.
