The aim of this article is to publish and study the stela of Nes-Hor, found at Akhmim and currently stored in the Egyptian Museum Cairo. It contains an important version of the solar hymn BD 15. The columns of texts are arranged in a unique way. In addition to translation and textual analysis, the present study provides a commentary on the content, palaeography and philology of the texts. A genealogical notice will contribute to the understanding of the community of Akhmim during the Greco-Roman Period.
