| Abstract | ||
| This study concerns the stela of Xry-mw and his family. It was discovered at Abydos. It is currently on display in the Egyptian Museum at Cairo (CG 1637). Although, Porter and Moss (PM V: 267), Auguste Mariette (Catalogue Gènèral des Monuments d' Abydos: 98- 99) listed this stela as well as Borchardt did the text drawings of this stela but it directed in a poor photograph (Denkmäler des Alen Reiches, II: 103, pl. 85). This study aims to translate and date the stela. Borchardt suggested a date in "Dynasty 6 oder später". In addition, Mariette put the Six Dynasty as the preferred date for it while Porter and Moss dated it to the Middle Kingdom. According to some aspects as titles, costumes and calligraphy of writing, the stela might be later than the Sixth Dynasty. Possibly, it dates to the late Old Kingdom, Dynasties Six- Eight.
