Turin King List: column 11

An estimated 31 rows

An estimated thirty-one rows with the names of the kings of the successive Sixteenth and Seventeenth Dynasties based at Thebes, explaining the lack of a heading following the summation in 11.15. The lower section is almost entirely missing, with only four partial names remaining, making any identification speculative and precarious.

Column 11.1

The Dual King Sekhemra ... reigned 3 years ...

nsw-bit sḫm-...-rꜤ rnpt 3 ...

King: Djehuty (194th king)
Dynasty: XVI (2)
Fragment no(s): 126 + 125
Gardiner: XI 1
The identity of the first three kings is open to interpretation, as only the Sekhemra part of their names are preserved. All three are attested exclusively near Thebes which is compatible with a date in the Sixteenth Dynasty, however their order is tenative.1

King: Mentuhotepi (197th king)
Dynasty: XVI (5)
Fragment no(s): 126 + 125
Gardiner: XI 4
It is clear that the sign appearing to be a second s is likely an Ꜥnḫ with missing strokes.1 As Gardiner himself noted, his reading of wꜢḏ is unlikely,2 and it is unlikely that two successive kings shared the same prenomen (Sewadjenra).

Column 11.5

The Dual King Nebiriawra reigned 26 years ...

nsw-bit nb-iry-Ꜣw-rꜤ rnpt 26 ...

King: Nebirau I (198th king)
Dynasty: XVI (6)
Fragment no(s): 126 + 125
Gardiner: XI 5
Written mostly on a patch, the ink is much deteriorated, making the reading of many signs difficult. The record of the reign length contains two badly damaged figures, that according to Ryholt can be read as 26.1 The 20 is certain, while the abnormal number following is hard to interpret. Gardiner read it as a 9,2 while Farina saw a 6.3 The slanting stroke of a 9 would overlap with the 20, a 6 is therefore the most likely reading of the two.

King: Nebirau II (199th king)

The four small traces at the end were not transcribed by Gardiner, but seem form the usual cartouche close, divine-determinative, followed by the regnal year signs.1

Total: 5 kings ...

dmḏ nsy.wt 5 ...

Fragment no(s): 142
Gardiner: XI 15
The summation records a total of five kings, but this figure is evidently incorrect since there are 15 preceding rows (10.31 to 11.14), and should be emended '15 kings'.1
