Note 77 — VII. THE LAST TWO YEARS OF THE REIGN OF AKHNATON.

The reception of the tribute recorded in the tomb of Meryra II. (see page 170), although dated in the twelfth year of the reign, may represent a later event, since six daughters are shown in the scene; and it is not likely that the sixth daughter was born before the fifteenth year. Perhaps the date is a misreading or miswriting, influenced by that given in the tomb of Huya.
