Turin King List – Column 2

26 rows — Gods and other divine beings.

Fragments with the names of gods, demigods, and sacred animals. This column 2 is not present in Farina or Gardiner, but was reconstructed by Ryholt from fragments in column X. This column makes sense as it contains the names of divine beings, which would have been present in the early parts of the document. However, the writing is quite small and compact compared to columns 1 and 3, which contradict this position, which seems to fit better in columns 10 or 11. The patch on fr. 41 and 42 is consistent with a 'missing' patch that should be located in the vicinity of the proposed second column.

The Dual King Ibis(?) ...
Gardiner: IX.17
Fragment no(s): 41
The reading of this name is very difficult due to the badly damaged signs, though the name seems to belong to a group of sacred animals, and not a deity as such. Written on a patch. Seyffarth placed fr. 41+42 at the top of column V, which Farina moved to the middle of column IX. Gardiner indicated that Farina's position cannot be correct, and that the fragments should be placed at the top of the papyrus, likely to the right of fr. 1, which was confimed by Ryholt. Accordingly, Gardiner’s column II is in reality column 3.
