Author Description

Excerpt from The Stela of Menthu-Weser I wish to acknowledge with gratitude the help afforded me by the privilege of using the Berlin Dictionary. Both for granting this privilege and for discussing some of the difficulties of the text with me, I am greatly indebted to Professor Erman. My thanks are due also to Professor Breasted for his kindness in looking through my manuscript and in making some corrections and suggestions and to Dr. Hermann Grapow for some sug gestions. While wishing fully to acknowledge the stimulus and aid thus generously given, I should make clear that none of the scholars mentioned has made himself in any sense a sponsor for the translation or for the comments on the text contained in the following pages.
