He has been described as a kind of “Keeper of the Signet;” but his rank in the Egyptian State was much higher than that of the Scottish official. It is a position that appears to have been even greater than that of the Roman _cura anulis_, or “Keeper of the Imperial Seal” (Just., _Hist._, XLIII, 5). Footnote 60: _Rekhmara_, Pl. II and III.

Footnote 74: In order to make the list complete, we must notice an _am-sa ne mer khetem_ (Liebl., _N.P._, 1707), and an _ari at ne sa ne per me khetem_ (Brit. Mus. Stela, 215).
