The Epigraphic Record in the Temple of Ramesses II at Abydos Preliminary Report
An examination of aspects of the construction of the temple of Ramesses II at Abydos, combined with an analysis of epigraphical features of the temple's inscriptions, confirms the impression given by texts in the Osiris temple of Seti I nearby that the younger king most likely began work on his own temple in the last years of his father's reign. There is no evidence, however, to clarify whether a coregency between these monarchs existed or not. Nearly all the construction and decoration of the temple occurred within the first four to five years of Ramesses II's reign with the exception of the outside walls. The doorway inscriptions in the chapels and on other temple walls demonstrate conclusively that the forms of the names of Ramesses II cannot be used as a reliable dating criterion. In fact, the supposedly diagnostic forms of the so-called nomen or throne-name - Rʽ-ms-s vs. Rʽ-ms-sw - are not reliable chronological indicators, but rather their use appears to have been influenced primarily by the format of the inscription, i.e., whether a text was in columnar or horizontal format. The appearance of various epithetical elements in Ramesses II's cartouches were likewise influenced by similar design factors instead of ideological considerations.

A New 'Robbery' Papyrus: Rochester MAG 51.346.1
First publication of Papyrus Rochester MAG 51.346.1, dated to the fourth month of Peret, day 15 of the first year of the 'Repeating-of-Births', corresponding to Year 19 of Ramesses XI. It lists the thefts by the Chief Doorkeeper of the Karnak Temple, Djehuty-hotep, and reads as if it were an abridgement of a much longer and more detailed report. New light is shed on Djehuty-hotep, who is mentioned in other related manuscripts as one of the chief culprits in the extensive plundering of royal and temple property at the end of the Twentieth Dynasty. By providing evidence that even the Karnak temple had been plundered, the Rochester papyrus suggests that the 'Repeating-of-Births' presented Herihor with the need to conduct an extraordinary anticorruption campaign in the early part of this period.
