What is included in the database

The database aims to cover Egyptian names in the sources dabable to the Middle Kingdom, the Second Intermediate Period, and the early New Kingdom from the reign of Mentuhotep II to the reign of Amenhotep III. It does not includes lists of foreign names in execration texts and in papyrus Moscow I 1б 314.

Version 1 is limited to the Second Intermediate Period (14th-17th Dynasty).

Versions 2, 3, and 4 include the material from the Middle Kingdom and the Second Intermediate Period. Version 5 covers entire timespan. It still remains a work in progress; particularly, it lacks the German translations of personal names and translations of many titles. The translations and the classification of personal names are still preliminary. Dates of New Kingdom objects are not yet elaborated upon. Some occasional First Intermediate Period sources are also included in the database, but no attempt was made to cover them systematically.
