Pinch, 1993, 333, n. 1. This can be translated as ‘sistrum-player’ or ‘musician’ (Schott, 1950, 81f;
Barucq — Daumas, 1980, 438), but it is a specific religious title whose bearers could be of high rank.
It occurs on another intermediary statue of a royal wb3, Neferrenpet (I), see on p. 379.
%° Translation is after Pinch, 1993, 333.
