The inscription on the back pillar of a statue in the Pushkin Museum of Fine Arts in Moscow (inv.no. I.1.b 1025), published by S. Hodjash and O. Berlev in AEB 1982.0741, is here studied again. The fragmentary statue, found in the Delta, was dedicated by a Royal Messenger, whose name is lost, involved in military operations in the south and/or in the eastern desert. A new dating to the 26th Dynasty, in place of the Ptolemaic one guessed by the former editors, is proposed and the autobiographic text is analysed in the light of the foreign policy of the Saite Dynasty towards Punt and the Red Sea.

Abstract
The inscription on the back pillar of a statue in the Pushkin Museum of Fine Arts in Moscow (inv.no. I.1.b 1025), published by S. Hodjash and O. Berlev in AEB 1982.0741, is here studied again. The fragmentary statue, found in the Delta, was dedicated by a Royal Messenger, whose name is lost, involved in military operations in the south and/or in the eastern desert. A new dating to the 26th Dynasty, in place of the Ptolemaic one guessed by the former editors, is proposed and the autobiographic text is analysed in the light of the foreign policy of the Saite Dynasty towards Punt and the Red Sea.File in questo prodotto:
