Abstract

The previously misunderstood titles of the man Pepy on stele CG 20683 = ANOC 1:5 provide the earliest attestation for the word 'mr (Wb. 1, 187, 2), ‘bakery’ (cf. demotic 'mre and Coptic αMPε, ‘baker’). The titles also yield a Middle Kingdom example of the feminine form of šn' (Wb. iv, 507, 12–508, 25), ‘Workhouse’; a second Middle Kingdom survival of the Old Kingdom title imy-r 'bw-rȝ nsw.t, ‘Overseer of the Royal Repast’, is found among the titles of Iykhernofret on the stele.
