In the third row from the top two of his officials introduce a caravan of Asians men, women and children with their ibexes and donkeys, clad in gaily colored garments, their sharp features, hooked noses and pointed beards clearly identifying them as Semitic; the inscription describes them as 37 Amus (Semitic bedouin) bringing eye-paint to the Prince of the nome. The scribe is shown giving Khnumhotep a list of the strangers. The lower rows depict the dead man's cattle and poultry.
