‘7 ‘Whilst Kitchen restores this title as the rarely-attested wdpw-nsw tpy n hi,f, “First royal cupbearer
of His Majesty” (cf. KRI IV, 105, 9, 15), an equally plausible restoration would be whm-nsw tpy n
hm f, “First Royal Herald of His Majesty”, another office that Ramesses-em-Per-Re is known to have
held (cf. KRI IV, 104:6, 10, 13; see above, $161)’. Davies, 2014, 93. The note of Davies has to be cor¬
rected regarding the title “First royal cupbearer of His Majesty”, as the correct reading must be wb3
nswt tpj n hm=f, since wdpw nswt is never attested with the ranking suffix tpj.
