LISTING FOUR TYPOLOGICAL MOTIFS OF PYRAMID TEXTS A typological motif is a recurring expression shared by at least two texts of the same cat- egory or one of a category’s types, an expression which serves to distinguish them from the members of the opposing category. Motifs comprise empirical connections in propositional content. To note that two or more texts share the same kind of statement is to observe that they are connected. It is to identify features of familial resemblance and to sketch out lines of difference. This listing organizes motifs in alphabetical order according to the English labels applied to them. The beneficiary as an entity is present in most, and so normally he is not explicitly mentioned in the labels. Usually pregnancy of subject or object indicates him. Thus, for example, the motif called ‘Adorned with Eye of Horus as Cloth’ means “the beneficiary is adorned with the eye of Horus in the form of cloth.” The labels should not be regarded as having much importance beyond the purpose of indexing similar statements under a single heading. The actual connections visible in the cited passages are what are important. In the case of ‘Adorned with Eye of Horus as Cloth,’ one finds the beneficiary donning or being adorned (wn, bA) with (m) the eye of Horus (ir.t rw) in the form of cloth (tAi.t, rnn-wt.it). If there is any doubt as to the connection, the cited text and section number give direction to the place of verification. This listing is not a sub- stitute for the texts but marks them. A few motifs—the most abundant—have been subdivided. For instance the motif ‘Object Direction’ covers a number of other motifs under its umbrella, and thus certain passages get listed twice for that reason. Also, frequently encountered phraseology can be approached from different angles. For instance the notion of ascending, very often indicated by the verb pri, is found in different combinations, and therefore the same passage of a text is sometimes cited under more than one motif. For instance the motif ‘Ascends, Descends as Morning God, Star’ twice overlaps with ‘Ascends to ( pri r) Sky.’ Thus the same passages from two texts sometimes figure under both. As argued in Chapter Three, different divisions of content are possible. But the argument is that, carried out globally, such differences in division will not yield a typological articula- tion substantially different from what has been yielded here. Superficially similar concepts and sentiments are excluded from a particular motif. As an example of such differentiations, there are some citations attached as a footnote to the example motif ‘Adorned with Eye of Horus as Cloth.’ The citations have to do with two motifs with some similar phraseology and ideas, but they also have important differences, so they are not included under the heading of ‘Adorned with Eye of Horus as Cloth.’ The tangentially related motifs indicated in that footnote are not attested in enough proportional difference to have qualified as typologically diagnostic. As explained in Chapter Three, about 1,500 motifs were isolated, and criteria were set up so as to identify those of particular rel- evance in making distinctions between the categories of personal and sacerdotal texts. As explained in the Coda and in the introduction to Listing One, the categories are subdivided by series and motifs. Thus offering and priestly motifs are still distinctive to the sacerdotal category, while apotropaic, transition, and provisioning motifs are distinctive to the personal. There are also a number of motifs which are more generic to the categories, Harold M.

The listing marks them simply as sacerdotal and personal motifs. The listing assembles 531 typological motifs, represented in 5,190 quoted passages of Pyra- mid Texts. Citations normally indicate just one specific source as representative.
