universal and incorrect overlapping occurs even in the best tombs of the Fourth Dynasty, where it may interchange with the correct forms. 86 11. The arrangement of three food determina tives to pr.t-hw in a row - used by Jntj is not earlier than late Fifth - early Sixth Dynasty. 87 12. The spelling of the name of Anubis by the sign of a jackal is characteristic of the period till the beginning of the Sixth Dynasty, while the jackal on a shrine È^k emerged under Teti; 88 however, the old variant was not completely discarded, especially when ^ was placed above horizontal signs, e.g., S 89 , etc. Features 2 (absence of torus and cavetto cornice), 8 (decoration of the back of the chair), 9 (name of the owner), 10 (shape of the sw hieroglyph) and 12 (spelling of Anubis) are useless or almost useless for dating, but the remaining features are definite chronological indicators and in the aggregate they allow us to date the false door of Jntj with certainty. Criteria 1 (number of jambs), 4 (style of representation), 5 (absence of the table scene), 6 (smelling of a lotus) and 11 (spelling of pr.t-hrw) establish termini ante quern non in the middle - late Fifth Dynasty; feature 7 (cushion on the chair back) may be somewhat earlier. On the contrary, feature 3 (low relief) fixes the terminus ante quern in the middle late Fifth Dynasty. Thus, the simultaneous presence of all of the features on a single monument is possible only in a very brief period of the reigns of Isesi and Unis (fig. 4). Of course, all the criteria are actually less definite than in our reconstructions, so the chronological borders may be extended, but the reliable date of the false door of Jntj is by no means earlier than middle Fifth - early Sixth Dynasty (Niuserra - Teti).
