[en] This paper highlights some interesting sections
of the ancient Egyptian Coffin Texts which
arise from human error, and which are
apparent in the variation between multiple
samples of the same text. Three types of
variation are explored: errors caught by
scribes, errors arising from redaction, and
variations due to homophony.
