A few comments to the inscription in cols. 12-25 on the west wall of the burial chamber of Neha at el-Qatta,
previously discussed by Schneider (1977) and Allen (2013). This spell was believed to provide Neha, after his
burial, with magical power over representations (most probably statuettes) of his dependents designed to serve
him in the Beyond. However, since an indispensable condition for the effectiveness of the spell was considered to
be the faultlessness of the acquisition of the representations, this was asserted in passages resembling an ideal
autobiography. The expression mr(y)t(=f) Ds=f ‘his own mr(y)t workers’ in col. 22 is a colloquial equivalent of
the designation mr(y)t(=f) n(y)t Dt=f, which is written on the pedestal of a sculptural group of three (originally
four) servant statuettes from the Dahshur tomb of Shepi (CG 512). This parallel may be of some significance, as
in the selection and arrangement of the PT and CT spells Neha’s tomb is comparable to that of Siese, which is
also at Dahshur
