Tanetimentetheretib papyrus – Cologny

tA-nt-imntt-hrt-ib
Ranke I, pg. 359, 6
Ranke reads the name as tȝ-n.t-wnm.t(?)-ḥr-ib and paraphrases it as ‘die (Tochter?) der wnm.t(?)‑hr‑ib(?)’, but the group written with the West-sign is better taken as the goddess Imentet rather than wnm.t; the reading Ta-net-Imentet-herib adopted here is therefore preferable, while the interpretation ‘daughter of …‑her-ib’ remains conjectural.
On Totenbuch there is a reference to “Ranke: vgl. I, 30.5 (?)“, but that does not make any sense imho.
