Abstract
The article investigates the inner sarcophagus of the priest of Ruti, Tja-nefer, who lived
during the XXV-XXVI Dynasties in the south of the country, most probably in Thebes.
The coffin bears abstracts from the 42nd Chapter of the Book of the Dead and is decorated
with many figures of anthropomorphous gods. Of particular interest is the record of a
very rare epithet of the god Thot ("foremost in the temple of hearing") and the southern
influences to the list of deities.
