Abstract

This article aims to study a round-topped stela that belongs to Ipi. The stela was found in North Abydos El-Araba el-Madfouna, it is used to be preserved in Bibliothèque Nationale Museum with the number n. 21 and is preserved now in Louvre Museum with the number C 290 [E 13049/ CM 34]. It is on display on the Salle 636. Ipi of this stela doesn’t show any relatives or personal titles. The main text of the stela is quoted from PT 25 and CT 936, although there are other similarities with other spells in both PT and CT texts. This article aims to compare between the in-question text and the original PT utterance and CT Spell to clarify these similarities while focusing on the differentiations between these variants. The in-question stela is difficult to date, specially that Ipi doesn’t show any titles to clarify his personality. It has a projecting socket like another Middle Kingdom stela with the number CCG 20520.
