"In the upper register, beneath a winged scarab, the perennial mourners Isis (on [Tasherit's] right) and Nephthys (on [her] left) pour libations to their brother Osiris, who stands, shrouded, in the center. Two vertical bands have not been filled in with hieroglyphic innoscriptions. Rather, there are two innoscriptions in Demotic noscript (used to write the Egyptian spoken at that time) — one by the feet of Osiris that gives the date of burial, year 4 (or 11) in the reign of an unnamed emperor; the other behind (and actually at right angles to) Nephthys, giving the name of the deceased, Tasherytwedjahor, and her husband (or father), a priest of Wepwawet, god of Asyut."
