The next tablet to which the visitor should direct his attention is from Thebes, and is marked 139.  It is that of a priest named Rames, who flourished during the reign of King Menephtah.  Here the priest is represented in the act of adoring various deities, and accepting funeral honours from his family.  The tablet marked 142 is of the time of the nineteenth dynasty.  It bears an inscription referring to a governor of the Ramesseium, named Amen-mes.  The next tablet that deserves particular remark is one in calcareous stone, from Abydos.  It is in honour of a military chief of the twelfth dynasty, named Nechta.  The pictorial embellishments represent the chief before a table of offerings, with his wife, mother, and nurse, seated before him.  On the next tablet (144) a judge named Kaha, is adoring funeral deities, and receiving the usual honours from his family.  Passing the tablet of the commander of the troops of the palace of Sethos I. (146) the visitor should pause before the interesting tablet marked 147.  This tablet records the date of the birth and marriage of a female named Tai-em-hept, of the advent of her son Tmouth, and of her death which took place in the tenth year of the reign of Cleopatra.  As the visitor progresses with his inspection of these tablets, he will be more and more struck with the minute revelations they afford of the subdivision of labour among the ancient Egyptians.  For instance, one tablet (148) is that of a superintendent of the builders of the palaces of Thothmes IV. in Abydos; another (149) is that of a scribe of the royal quarries; a third (150) is that of a Theban judge, on the lower part of which are representations in yellow, in the style of the nineteenth dynasty, of the transport of the corpse, and other funeral ceremonies; a fourth (154) is that of a royal usher; a fifth is that of Pai, a queen’s officer, among the illustrations of which a tame cynocephalus may be noticed.  The tablet marked 159 is a very ancient specimen.  It is that of Rutkar a priest, who is represented, in company with his wife, surveying the domestic occupations of his dependents.  The tablet from Thebes, of Baknaa, a master of the horse in the reign of Sesostris is marked 164.  Here the deceased is represented adoring a group of deities.  The other tablets in this vicinity are chiefly of the time of Rameses II. or III, and are in honour of scribes and other functionaries immediately connected with the court.  Two sepulchral tablets from Sakkara are interesting.  That marked 184 is in honour of a priestess of Phtha named Tanefer-ho.  The pictorial embellishments represent the priestess about to be introduced to Osiris and other deities by Anubis and other presiding spirits of the tomb.  This specimen bears the date of the nineteenth year of the reign of Ptolemy Auletes.  The second tablet from Sakkara (188) is that of an ancient pluralist named I-em-hept, who is represented introduced to Osiris and other deities by Anubis and his brother spirits
