- Deals with a private stela of one Paser (late 18th Dynasty?) discovered by S. Hassan near the Sphinx Temple and now in the Egyptian Museum Cairo (JE 72289). The goddess, coupled with the youthful god Shed and Horus-son-of-Isis, bears the royal cobra above her forehead and is dressed like an Asiatic woman. The accompanying inscription bears the epithet Trjn, a loanword of Semitic origin meaning "armour".
