الملخص EN

This study concerns the stela of Xry-mw and his family.

it was discovered at Abydos.

it is currently on display in the Egyptian museum at Cairo (CG 1637).

although, Porter and Moss (PM v: 267), Auguste Mariette (catalogue Gènèral des monuments d'Abydos: 98-99) listed this stela as well as Borchardt did the text drawings of this stela but it directed in a poor photograph (Denkmäler des Alen Reiches, II: 103, pl.

85).

neither translated the texts nor assigned a definite date for it, although Borchardt suggested a date in “dynasty 6 Oder Später”.

accordingly, this study is done.

according to some aspects as titles, costumes and calligraphy of writing, the stela might be later than the sixth dynasty.

possibly, it dates to the late old kingdom, dynasties six-eight.
