2. _B_. Coffin containing a mummy of a man named [Illustration: hieroglyph] Pa-de-Khonsu. The decoration of the coffin and the manner of mummification of the body were both similar to 1. _A_. Some of the linen bandages had markings in light and dark blue, and red striated with dark blue running the whole length, woven into the stuff; and, like the others, many of the bandages were mended.[13] The genealogy of these three persons was as follows:-- Amenhetep-en-auf = Nanu-nes-her (of coffin 2. _B_) Pa-de-Khonsu = Maartu (of coffin 1. _B_) Pa-de-Amen (of coffin 1. _A_). The meaning of the bandages being in so many cases carefully darned and mended might be explained by the inscriptions found on the walls of the tombs of the New Kingdom--a part of the ritual and last words of the relatives before the mummy when depositing it for ever in the tomb. ‘Woe, woe.... Alas this loss! the good shepherd has gone to the land of Eternity; he who willingly opened his feet to going is now enclosed, bound, and confined. He who had so much fine linen, and so gladly put it on, _sleeps now in the cast-off garments of yesterday_.’[14] The mummy bandages are strips torn nearly in every case from larger pieces like shawls and garments. The second group of coffins, 3. _B_ to 7. _B_ (see Pl. XV), are of slightly smaller dimensions, painted black, and of a much rougher type. Only one of them had traces of design upon it, and that was in yellow upon the black background. The mummies they contained, though in good preservation and simulating the others in fashion, did not in general display the same care as in the former series. The linen in which they were wrapped had similar markings and mends, but they were of a coarser nature, and in some cases the materials were quite worn and old rags. Coffin 3. _B_ bore the _de hetep seten_ formula, but the name of the deceased was omitted. The mummy in coffin 7. _B_, of a man not more than thirty years of age, had on the left arm, tied at the elbow, a very fine blue glazed steatite scarab (Pl. XVII. 1, also Fig. 9, p. 27). The small child’s coffin, 8. _B_, was of plain wood exceedingly roughly made, and it contained the remains of a young boy prepared in the same manner as the others. This last group may possibly have relationship in common with the others, even though their class does not appear to be of so high a standing; but unfortunately we have no inscription or real indication to tell us; the existing evidences show two distinct families but tend towards their being within a short period of one another--perhaps not more than a century. _Site 6_ had openings to tombs, but proved unproductive. _Site 7_, in the open courtyard of a large tomb of the XIth Dynasty; many decayed funeral boats and granary figures, as well as pottery cones and potsherds, cast out in past times, were the only reward for its excavation.
