Two oracle petitions addressed to Horus-khau with some notes on the oracular amuletic decrees : (P. Berlin P. 8525 and P. 8526)

Abstract

Publication of two oracle petitions from the papyrus collection in Berlin, dating to the late Twentieth or early Twenty-first Dynasty and addressed to the hitherto unknown Horus-khau. Despite some typical Thinite personal names, their place of origin seems to be el-Hiba in the 18th Upper Egyptian nome. Further reflections on other oracle texts from this Theban stronghold follow as well as some considerations on the Oracular Amuletic Decrees.
