| Summary: | This article is an overview of evidence on the toponym xntj-S “Lebanon” and the term xntj-S “Lebanese wood” in the Old Kingdom texts: 1–2. The inscriptions of jnj; 3. The inscription in the tomb of Daw at Deir el-Gebrawi; 4. The inscription on the stela of pAj from Naga ed-Deir; 5. A list of cultic items from the archive of the mortuary temple of King Neferefra (mid-5th to 6th Dynasties); 6. The Palermo fragment of the annals from the reign of Shepseskaf. The proposed translation of the toponym xntj-S: “(terrain) in front of the lake,” where “lake” should be understood as “terrace” or “pool” in a geological sense. The toponym xntj-S is considered as a reinterpretation of the term xtjw with the meaning “terrace” designating Lebanon from the most ancient times of Egyptian history. |
