tum

Hapax in a bilingual (Egyptian-Carian) reliquary from Sais from the Saito-Persian period, i.e. between 664-332 (O. Masson & Yoyotte 1956a:49).

[Zs.S.]

acc. sg. c.

tumn

E.Sa 1

The attestation follows Adiego 2007a:424, checked against the photograph in O. Masson & Yoyotte 1956a:Pl. VI. Its segmentation is certain due to a word divider.

Since the blessing of the god Atum is invoked in the Egyptian part for the owner of the inscription and tumn looks like the acc. sg. of Atum, its cautious identification with Atum by Adiego 1993b:255, Adiego 1995a:21f., Adiego 2007a:424 is more plausible (accepted also in Vittmann 2001a:59; cf. also Schürr 1992a:153 and Ray 1994a:200f.) than the formal possibility that tumn refers to the object of the deed in acc. sg. (as translated by Hajnal & Zipser 2017a:276), even though this is supported by its syntactical parallelism with other inscriptions (on this possibility see Simon 2008b:461, Simon 2020d:401, 404, 410).
