Abstract
This article reviews a number of issues concerning the graffito in Theban Tomb 139, dated to Year 3 of the female king Neferneferuaten. In a discussion of the status of the cult of Amun as reflected in the text, it is concluded that the king may have been given the epithet “beloved of Amun” in at least one of her cartouches. Concerning the “Hwt of Ankhkheperure at Thebes,” at which the authors of the graffito were employed, it is argued that this was an establishment founded by Smenkhkare rather than Neferneferuaten.
