A partir de criteres iconographiques, Edward Brovarski reprend l’etude du cimetiere aux alentours de la pyramide de Pepy II a Saqqara-Sud. Depuis le milieu du regne de Pepy II jusqu’a l’epoque heracleopolitaine, il propose de distinguer cinq groupes de tombeaux. Des observations paleographiques ou epigraphiques, des rapprochements avec des cimetieres provinciaux conduisent a nuancer ou a remettre en cause certaines dates avancees recemment par H.G. Fischer.

Twenty-six tombs of non-royal women are known from the Old Kingdom. In the case of ten it seems the tomb owner was responsible for the tomb's construction or decoration. In the instance of seven priestesses of Hathor and three tenant land-holders they may have received income from their offices that allowed then to erect their tombs. Otherwise we are ignorant as to whether titles like KIng's Acquaintance and King's Royal carried stipends.

The core of the book consists of three chapters on Auotbiographie "C," "B," and "A" and related blocks found in the tomb of the Eighth Dynasty vizier Shemai at Kombucha el-Koffar situated approximately one kilometer south of the town of Qift in southern Upperv Egypt. Shemai and his son Idi are known because of a series of decrees issued for their benefit by the last two kings of the Eighth Dynasty. The autobiographies shed a light on happenings in the South at the very end of the Old Kingdom.
