Attention is also drawn to other inscriptions at the site, contemporary and later, and to the potential significance of the location, near to a water station. Appropriately in a volume dedicated to a scholar who has made such important contributions to the recording and study of rock-inscriptions and their context, the subject treated here is a rock-stela, in this case at Kanais, the desert wadi-site east of Edfu, well known for the temple (hemi-speos) of Sety I (Plate 1), numerous other rock-inscriptions and drawings, and remains of a Ptolemaic-Roman fort. 1 The stela was first brought to attention by Weigall in 1909, his published copy (Fig. ) showing the scene of an official offering to the god Horus, surmounted by an inscription identifying the owner as a viceroy ('King's son'), his name apparently lost. 2 Weigall's drawing has remained until now the major point of reference for the piece. 3 During a brief visit to Kanais in 2014, 4 I had the opportunity to examine the stela and determine that the official's name, if a little eroded, is still present and legible: the name can now be confirmed as that of Merymose, the celebrated viceroy of Amenhotep III. 5 I present here an updated, if still somewhat provisional, record. 6 Plate 1: Kanais, general view, Sety I temple and location (A) of Merymose stela.
