ḫftj n <u>t</u> r as Euphemism-the Case of the Antef Decree

Abstract

The decree of Nubkheperre-Antef in the temple of Coptos is re-examined in relation to parallel texts from other periods. A new interpretation of the hftj(w) ntr, identified as a euphemism by Georges Posener, as a sacrificial animal is proposed.
