La stĂšle de Semna, du vice-roi de Nubie de la XVIIIe dynastie, Ousersatet, consigne un conseil donnĂ© par Amenhotep II Ă son vice-roi sous la forme dâune copie monumentale de la transcription personnelle du roi de son propre dĂ©cret royal Ă Ousersatet. Le dĂ©cret fut promulguĂ© durant une fĂȘte cĂ©lĂ©brant lâaccession royale, Ă une date secondaire, apparemment pour lier lâaccession royale Ă la fĂȘte k?-?r-k?, Ă lâimage de RamsĂšs III qui, plus tard, cĂ©lĂ©brera Ă la fois son accession et une fĂȘte de lâaccession royale associĂ©e Ă la fĂȘte de NĂ©hebkaou. Dans ce texte, Amenhotep II conseille Ousersatet quant aux interactions des Ăgyptiens et Nubiens avec lâadministration du vice-roi et Ă©claire un peu les relations entre le roi, le vice-roi et les membres nubiens de la bureaucratie Ă©gyptienne du sud. La nature apparemment obscure et poĂ©tique du conseil royal et le manque de clartĂ© quant Ă la situation dâAmenhotep II lorsquâil le prodigue expliquent lâattention portĂ©e Ă ce texte, mais un certain manque de rigueur dans lâinterprĂ©tation a obscurci plusieurs analyses de lâinscription. Un nouveau collationnement et un examen du texte de la stĂšle rĂ©vĂšlent quâAmenhotep II aborde apparemment la question de lâintĂ©gration croissante, par le vice-roi, de Nubiens dans les niveaux les plus Ă©levĂ©s de lâadministration du sud. Amenhotep II utilise une formule apparemment proverbiale qui fait rĂ©fĂ©rence Ă la transmission de lâautoritĂ© plus ancienne du vice-roi aux plus grandes divisions de la bureaucratie, et Ă la crĂ©ation dâun Ă©quivalent nubien du vice-roi, ce dernier restant nĂ©anmoins le primus inter pares de lâadministration.
The Semna stela of the Eighteenth Dynasty Viceroy of Nubia, Usersatet, records Amenhotep IIâs advice to his viceroy in the form of a monumental copy of the kingâs personal transcription of his own royal decree to Usersatet. The decree was issued during a festival celebrating the royal accession on a secondary date, apparently in order to link the kingâs accession to the k?-?r-k? festival, just as Ramesses III later would celebrate both his actual accession and a festival of royal accession associated with the Nehebkau festival. Amenhotep II offers advice to Usersatet regarding interactions of Egyptians and Nubians within the viceregal administration, and shed some light on the interactions of king, viceroy, and Nubian members of the Egyptian bureaucracy in the south. The seemingly obscure and poetic nature of the kingâs advice, and the lack of clarity regarding the situation about which Amenhotep II offers his advice, have led to considerable modern attention to the text, but a certain looseness of interpretation has plagued many examinations of the inscription. A new collation of the stela, and an examination of the text, reveal that Amenhotep II was apparently addressing the viceroyâs increasing integration of Nubians into the higher levels of the southern administration. Amenhotep II quotes an apparently proverbial saying that refers to a devolution of earlier viceregal authority into greater divisions of bureaucracy, and the creation of a Nubian counterpart to the viceroy, the latter remaining nevertheless the primus inter pares of the administration.

Lâexamen de la stĂšle de Minhotep Houtoutou (MusĂ©e du Caire 17/5/25/7 [S.R. 12041]) et la confrontation avec un passage du papyrus Ermitage 1116-B verso, (38)-(39), permettent dâassurer que Minhotep Houtoutou fut bien un contemporain dâAmenhotep III et quâil participa mĂȘme Ă lâun des jubilĂ©s du roi. Il en rĂ©sulte que le papyrus du pErmitage 1116-B verso est plus rĂ©cent que le rĂšgne dâAmenhotep II auquel il a toujours Ă©tĂ© attribuĂ©, ce que confirme la prĂ©sence dâun cartouche de Thoutmosis IV au lieu de celui reconnu jusquâĂ prĂ©sent comme appartenant Ă Thoutmosis III aux lignes (61) et (66). Minhotep pourrait Ă©galement ĂȘtre le pĂšre du grand pontife dâAmon sous ToutĂąnkhamon Parennefer / Ounennefer dont la tombe thĂ©baine a Ă©tĂ© retrouvĂ©e en 1990 par Fr. Kampp et K. Seyfried et ĂȘtre apparentĂ© Ă lâintendant Sennefer dont la tombe, situĂ©e au pied de la falaise du BubasteĂŻon a Ă©tĂ© localisĂ©e et fouillĂ©e par A.-P. Zivie.
The study of the stela of Minhotep Hututu (Cairo Museum 17/5/25/7 [SR 12041]) and comparison with few lines of papyrus Ermitage 1116-B verso, (38) - (39), make sure that Minhotep Hututu was indeed contemporaneous with Amenhotep III, and that he even participated in one of the kingâs jubilees. Consequently, papyrus Ermitage 1116-B verso is likely more recent than the reign of Amenhotep II to which it has always been attributed. This is also supported by two occurrences of a cartouche naming Thutmosis IV which were until now misinterpreted as cartouches of Thutmosis III [lines (61) and (66)]. Minhotep could also be the father of the high priest of Amun under Tutankhamun, Parennefer / Wenennefer, whose Theban tomb was found in 1990 by Fr. Kampp and K. Seyfried. He may also have been related to the steward Sennefer whose tomb, located at the foot of the BubasteĂŻon cliff, was located and excavated by A.-P. Zivie.
