The texts mentioned in the title of the application derive from the pillars (north and south) within the first hypostyle of tomb TT 223 (Karakhamun) of dynasty XXV. In about 1843 at least the western pillar of the southern side (first hour of the night) was still standing in its height of > 3m. In this year R. Lepsius (during his Expedition to Egypt 1842-1845) had "tared it down" in order to remove its vignette (then Berlin 2110). At a certain date unknown before 1976 the ceiling had broken down destroying bigger parts of the walls and all the pillars leaving only stumps. The ceiling of the second hypostyle in 1976 during a visit of mine was still intact; according to my observation it came down ca. 1985. Most of the fragments probably are still present as small splinters up to big blocks and having very different thicknesses ("depths"). The South Asasif Conservation Project started excavation in 2006. Only small parts of the tomb's decoration had been made known during the 19th century, nothing has been published. The mission SACP has secured about 20.000 inscribed or decorated fragments of limestone. It is working in seasons between four and six months a year in order to consolidate and re-erect the tomb's walls and pillars with its decoration. I became interested in the reconstruction of the texts of the pillars of the first hypostyle, because they contain the oldest version of the Ritual of the Hours of day to date. It will be extremely valuable of the scientific edition of the Ritual as a whole beacuse all of its (other) sources only represent fragmentary parts of its original text. It is already proven that the version from TT 223 goes with that of Pabas (TT 279) and not with that of Padihorresnet (TT 196) which means that during dynasty XXVI at least two version were available in the archives.

申请书标题中提到的文字来自第二十五王朝TT 223号墓（卡拉哈蒙）第一个多柱体内的柱子（南北）。大约在1843年，至少南侧的西柱（夜晚的第一个小时）仍然矗立着，高度> 3 m。今年R。莱普修斯（1842-1845年远征埃及期间）曾“将其稀释”，以去除其小装饰（当时的柏林，2110年）。在1976年之前未知的某一天，天花板倒塌了，摧毁了大部分墙壁和所有柱子，只留下树桩。1976年我参观时，第二个多柱体的天花板仍然完好无损;据我观察，它大约掉下来了。1985.大多数碎片可能仍然以小碎片到大块的形式存在，并且具有非常不同的厚度（“深度”）。南阿萨西夫保护项目于2006年开始挖掘。在世纪，只有一小部分坟墓的装饰被人所知，没有任何东西被出版。SACP的使命已经获得了约20.000刻或装饰石灰石碎片。它每年工作四到六个月，以巩固和重新竖立坟墓的墙壁和柱子及其装饰。我开始对重建第一个多柱体的柱子的文字感兴趣，因为它们包含了迄今为止最古老的一天的时间记录。这将是非常宝贵的科学版的rabbits作为一个整体，因为所有的（其他）来源只代表零碎的部分，其原始文本。已经证明TT 223的版本与Pabas（TT 279）的版本一致，而不是Padihorresnet（TT 196）的版本，这意味着在第二十六王朝期间至少有两个版本可在档案中找到。
