dc.description.abstractEnThis is a republication of the stela Cairo JE 85932 once published by É. Drioton just after the piece was bought by the Egyptian Museum in the early 1940’s. A complete reconsideration throws new light on this Appel aux passants written by Gemenefhorbak (Gm-n⸗f-ḥr-bȝk), born of Wedjashu (Wḏȝ-šw). Taking up almost all of the 14 columns of text, the call is the pretext for the author to describe the theological life of the ancient Imet (nowadays Tell Farʿun, the so-called Nebesheh). The first subject of the stela is the goddess Wadjet who, in the shape of the Golden One, was solicited by infertile persons (snb. w) seeking children. The text then dwells at length on Min of Imet and his role as an avenging god for his father Osiris. Rituals, that appear to be decadal, lead Min to restore to his father his eyebrows (smd n wrḏ-jb), the osirian relic of Imet. Sprinkled with terms that were only known by late sacerdotal sources (chief temples, geo. pap. of Tanis), as such as the toponyms Ḥw. t-sgr or Ḫʿ, this text offers the rare opportunity to approach the local religious conceptions of Late Period Egypt, a country rich in theological developments.
