Nederhof - EnglishCreated on 2008-11-11 by Mark-Jan Nederhof. Last modified 2015-03-12.Transliteration and translation for Papyrus Westcar (Berlin Papyrus 3033), following thetranscription of Blackman (1988). Written between square brackets are only thosetransliterations and translations that correspond to restorations of the hieroglyphicother than those given on the left-hand side pages of Blackman (1988).I assume the following correction:

• After 1,22 read

as .The transliteration throughout follows Hannig (1995). Transcription of personal names,except names of kings given by Hannig (1995), follows Parkinson (1997).For published translations, see Lichtheim (1975), pp. 215-222 (covers only the text after4,7); Parkinson (1997), pp. 102-127; Simpson (1972), pp. 15-30; Zonhoven (1992), pp.273-276 (covers only the text after 6,22); Chioffi and Rigamonti (2005). Also consideredwhere the examples from Graefe (1994) and Loprieno (1995).
