description Recent work by the Polish mission in Asasif brought to light 11 fragments of an inscription in the name of the vizier Paser, coming from the chapel, the cult space of Khety’s tomb (TT 311). The fragments are one with two fragments found earlier and exhibited in the Metropolitan Museum in New York. Together they form an inscription that is now almost complete, shedding light on Paser’s self-fashioning as a scholar and akind of Khaemwaset of the South. This hieroglyphic graffito can be considered as a restoration label in the name of Paser on a monument of an illustrious predecessor. By raising himself to the level of his illustrious ancestors whose monuments marked the sacred landscape of his time, Paser demonstrated his scholarship and social pre-eminence.
