Abstract

This paper provides a collection and commenting of the passages about the theme of reporting to the king of a rebellion somewhere in his empire which occur in a number of New Kingdom royal inscriptions focusing on the king´s military success. The reports of rebellion included in the inscriptions here studied are presented in transliteration and translation, and a comment is provided for each inscription. The comments focus on how the content is developed in each text. Then, the comparison assesses the commonalities and differences among the reports. The comparison of the reports shows a variety in terms of form and content.
