where they are informed by the complaints of the workmen that they had not received

Nesamun is designated as wdpw nswt ‘royal wdpw’ in all but one source, as expected
in cases of special assignments carried out on the orders of the ruler.**
The only source
where he appears with the functional title wb3 nswt ‘royal wb?’ is the scene of Amenho¬
tep being rewarded in Karnak. Although the explanation for the usage of this title here
is not entirely clear, it might be linked to the fact that in this case, Nesamun takes part
in a ceremonial event as a courtier and not as a particular agent of the king in an admin¬
istrative matter. Another phenomenon worthy of note is the appearance of the functional
titles both before and after the names. The titles wdpw nswt ‘royal wdpw’ and wb3 nswt
‘royal wb?’ consequently stand before the name of Nesamun, while all his other titles
follow his name: variations of the title s$ nswt n pr-3 ‘royal scribe of the Pharaoh’ appear
in all cases, either alone, or together with % n pr n pr dw3.t-ntr “nh-tj n Jmn-R¢ nswt ntr.w
‘steward of the estate of the Divine Adoratrix, may she live!, of Amun-Re, king of the
gods’ and _jmj-r3 pr hd ‘overseer of the treasury’, alternately in the particular documents.
There are some examples of placing the name between the titles, however, the importance
of this practice is not clear.’
