Abstract:This is a newer Chinese translation of The Autobiographical Inscription of Methenwith historical and philological notes. The notes are especially concerned about the titles of Methen, the official titles, places, and the social-economic situation of ancient Egypt. The original inscription was carved on the interior wall of the Methen’s tomb in Saqqara which is so far the oldest known inscription of its kind. For its rich information about the social-economic situation of early Egypt, this document has been treated as one of the most important primary materials in the study of ancient Egyptian history.
