Not found in Ranke
Somewhere I came across the transliteration of the name on the papyrus, but I have no idea whether it is correct as it deviates considerably from the name used for this lady
Provenance Saqqara
Ptolemaic period, 2e century BC

The Book of Death consists of two scrolls. According to the museum, the upper scroll is the first part and a section is missing at the beginning. Taruma’s mother had a Greek name, Berenike
