介绍（中）	这块石碑上刻有第2王朝第二位国王拉内布（或内布拉）的荷鲁斯名字。国王的荷鲁斯名字写在一个称为serekh的矩形装置中，这是建筑物从侧面和顶部的复合视图。下部描绘了与皇家结构相关的壁龛立面;上部代表建筑物的内部，或者平面图中的庭院。整体被代表荷鲁斯神的猎鹰所覆盖，暗示着国王与这位重要神灵的身份。从保存下来的铭文来看，荷鲁斯的名字是从0王朝到3王朝最早的埃及国王最常用的称呼。 Raneb的石碑是一系列可追溯到第1和第2王朝的皇家名称石碑之一。其中大部分来自埃及南部阿拜多斯的皇家墓地，除了两个外，其他所有墓地都是用相对柔软的石灰石雕刻而成的。Raneb的花岗岩石碑是现存最早的浮雕例子，这种非常坚硬的石头。拉内布也是第一位将太阳神雷的名字纳入他的头衔的国王，标志着这位神越来越突出。阿拜多斯的发掘表明，成对的铭文石碑是皇家陵墓的重要元素。然而，据说Raneb的石碑是在埃及北部的古埃及首都孟菲斯（Mit Rahina）地区发现的。这导致一些学者认为拉内布的坟墓在附近的萨卡拉墓地，在那里发现了印有国王名字的罐子印章。
介绍（英）	This stela is inscribed with the Horus name of the second king of Dynasty 2, Raneb (or Nebra). A king's Horus name is written within a rectangular device called a serekh, which is the composite view of a building from the side and the top. The lower part depicts the niched facade associated with royal structures; the upper part represents the building's interior, or perhaps its courtyard in plan-view. The whole is surmounted by a falcon representing the god Horus and implying the king's identity with this important deity. Judging from preserved inscriptions, the Horus name is the most commonly used designation for the earliest Egyptian kings from Dynasty 0 into Dynasty 3. Raneb’s stela is one of a series of royal name stelae dating to Dynasties 1 and 2. Most of these come from the royal cemeteries of Abydos in southern Egypt, and all but two are carved from relatively soft limestone. Raneb's granite stela is the earliest surviving example of relief-carving in this very hard stone. Raneb was also the first king to incorporate the name of the sun god Re into his titulary, marking this deity's increasing prominence. Excavations at Abydos show that pairs of inscribed stelae were important elements of royal tombs. However, Raneb's stela is said to have been found in northern Egypt in the area of Memphis (Mit Rahina), the ancient Egyptian capital. This has led some scholars to suggest that Raneb's tomb was at the nearby necropolis of Saqqara, where jar sealings stamped with the king's name were found.
