介绍（中）	在梅尔的一个坑墓中发现了属于管家Hapiankhtifi的大型外棺。里面嵌套着两个较小的棺材，一个是长方形的，另一个是类人的（见12.183.11b和c.1-.2）。外棺的外部装饰着一条水平的铭文带，围绕着盒子的顶部，两侧每隔一定间隔有垂直的铭文带；盖子上还装饰着长长的文字带。其中包括供物和太平间祈祷，旨在确保Hapiankhtifi成功过渡到死后，并在那里永远存在。在其中一条长边的头端画了一双wedjat眼睛，这样放在棺材窝里的木乃伊就可以看到外面。铭文带之间是壁龛的代表，色彩鲜艳，类似纺织品。这些与早期棺材和石棺上的"宫殿正面"相呼应（见12.187.54），并强化了棺材作为死者住所和神圣空间的身份盒子内部画了一条长长的雕带；所代表的物品包括珠宝、武器以及许多护身符和仪式用品。除此之外，还有数百列象形文字（一种更为草书的书写形式），这些文字来自被称为棺材文本的语料库。物体雕带和咒语就像铭文带一样，旨在引导哈皮安赫蒂菲走向死后，并在那里永远支撑他。
介绍（英）	The large outer coffin belonging to the steward Hapiankhtifi was found in a pit tomb at Meir. Inside were nested two smaller coffins, one rectangular and the second anthropoid (see 12.183.11b and c.1-.2). The exterior of the outer coffin is decorated with a horizontal band of inscription around the top of the box, and with vertical bands at regular intervals around the sides; the lid is also adorned with long bands of text. These contain offering and mortuary prayers designed to ensure Hapiankhtifi's successful transition to the afterlife and his eternal existence there. A pair of wedjat eyes has been painted at the head end of one of the long sides, so that the mummy, placed on its side within the nest of coffins, could see out. Between the bands of inscription are representations of niches, brightly painted to resemble textiles. These echo the "palace facade" seen on earlier coffins and sarcophagi (see 12.187.54), and reinforce an identification of the coffin as both a dwelling and divine space for the deceased. A long frieze of objects has been painted around the interior of the box; the items represented include jewelry, weapons, and numerous amuletic and ceremonial objects. Added to this are hundreds of columns of text in hieratic (a more cursive form of writing), spells from a corpus known as the Coffin Texts. The object frieze and the spells were meant, like the bands of inscription, to guide Hapiankhtifi to the afterlife and sustain him there forever.
