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 those transliterationsand translations that correspond to restorations of the hieroglyphic other than those given on theleft-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, exceptnames of kings given by Hannig (1995), follows Parkinson (1997).For published translations, see Lichtheim (1975), pp. 215-222 (covers only the text after 4,7);Parkinson (1997), pp. 102-127; Simpson (1972), pp. 15-30; Zonhoven (1992), pp. 273-276 (coversonly the text after 6,22); Chioffi and Rigamonti (2005). Also considered where the examples fromGraefe (1994) and Loprieno (1995).
