An-hetep-f
the 30th assessor
Overview
One of the forty-two assessors who hear the Negative Confession in the hall of the Two Truths. The town this assessor comes forth from and the sin denied before them are not yet recovered: the 1901 anthology prints only the first twenty-five declarations, and this is not among them.
That is the whole of the attested record: a name, a position in the roster, and — where the text survives — a town and one sin. There is no myth, no cult, and no independent iconography. The entry stays this length until a further attestation is found.
What the texts say
The name An-hetep-f appears as number 30 in Budge's list of the forty-two assessors, taken from the Papyrus of Nebseni [budge-1904]. The corresponding declaration — the town and the specific sin — awaits a complete public-domain witness to the spell.
