This paper assembles for the first time two fragments, Bologna Museo Archeologico KS 1840 and Cairo Egyptian Museum JE 42880, which originally belonged to the same statue.

Abstract
This paper assembles for the first time two fragments, Bologna Museo Archeologico KS 1840 and Cairo Egyptian Museum JE 42880, which originally belonged to the same statue. While the upper part of the statue, Bologna KS 1840, is already known from several publications, the lower part, Cairo JE 42880, remains so far unpublished. The texts from both are reassembled here, analysed and discussed. The naophorous statue belonged to an individual named Wahibre, who very likely lived at the end of the Twenty-sixth Dynasty in the western Delta of Egypt. Indeed, Wahibre and his parents held during their life several specific regionally sacerdotal titles related to the Third (rnp), Fourth (Hm nTr N.t-Jh.t), Fifth (xrp-Hw.wt (N.t); Hm nTr ¡r aA m ¡w.t-N.t (?); xnd (n.t) Rs-N.t) and Sixth (Hm ¡r wr-wAD.tj) provinces of Lower Egypt.I documenti in IRIS sono protetti da copyright e tutti i diritti sono riservati, salvo diversa indicazione.
