Let’s read some hieroglyphs 𓊹𓌃𓏪!
This inscription 𓏟𓏛𓏥 comes from the false door of a man named Mery (4th Dynasty/Old Kingdom), however the inscription 𓏟𓏛𓏥 is about his wife 𓂑𓏏𓁐 Niankhwadjet 𓈖𓇅𓏏𓋹.
Right Hieroglyphs 𓊹𓌃𓏪 Column:
𓇓𓂋𓐍𓏏 – King’s Acquaintance
𓉡 – Hathor
𓊹𓍛 – Priest [Priestess in this case] (literally “God’s Servant”)
All together, this inscription 𓏟𓏛𓏥 would read “The King’s Acquaintance, Priestess of Hathor…” The title “King’s Acquaintance 𓇓𓂋𓐍𓏏“ is taken to mean that the person was close to the pharaoh 𓉐𓉻!
Left Hieroglyphs 𓊹𓌃𓏪 Column:
𓎟 – Possessor
𓌳𓐍𓄪 – Reverence
𓈖𓇅𓏏𓋹 – Niankhwadjet
“Possessor of Reverence, Niankhwadjet.”
Let’s put it all together!
𓇓𓂋𓐍𓏏𓉡𓊹𓍛𓎟𓌳𓐍𓄪𓈖𓇅𓏏𓋹
“The King’s Acquaintance, Priestess of Hathor, Possessor of Reverence, Niankhwadjet.”
