Note 33 — INTRODUCTION TO THE STUDY OF EGYPTIAN SEALS.

See L., D., II, 4, where he carries a box of linen; cf. my Beni Hasan, I, Pl. IV, and II, Pl. XIII, where there is a khetemu ne ḥenket, “Seals of the linen.” In Beni Hasan, I, Pl. XXIX, we find the corresponding feminine title , a woman who apparently had charge of the harîm, or perhaps was a confidential female servant. A title also occurs very frequently on Egyptian monuments (Griffith, Kahun Papyri, Pl. XII, l. 1; Mariette, Mon. Abyd., 182, 183, 187; Newberry, El Bersheh, I, Pls. XX, XXIX, etc.). It seems to mean a kind of “confidential seal,” or “privy purse.”
