The aim of this minor contribution to Afro-Asiatic (Semito-Hamitic) etymology is to appraise in the light of recent results of the named field of research the achievements of F. von Calice, a pioneer of Egyptian etymology, whose magnum opus appeared exactly 70 years ago. The methods applied therein are those of comparative Afro-Asiatic linguistics: an attempt is made at evaluating each selected etymology according to the criteria of semantics and consonantal correspondences. As a result, the reader can hopefully measure the progress of this minor field in the past 70 years.

The exterior surface of the coffin was originally decorated with polychrome painted scenes and inscriptions. While the back side of the mummiform part of the coffin consisted explicitly of the inscriptions, its frontal side contained a rich combination of paintings divided into registers and sections filled with inscriptions written in vertical and horizontal bands. The exterior surface of the lid of the coffin is very badly damaged. Some physical parts of the surface on the coffin are completely missing. This is why the damaged parts were restored in modern times. This paper deals with the basic layout and distribution of the registers filled with scenes and texts on the preserved exterior surface of the front and back sides of the coffin. The investigation is based on an analysis of the preserved parts of the original decoration identified on the exterior surface of the coffin. A more detailed description and analysis of the particular registers filled with the paintings and inscriptions as well as the reconstruction of the original decorative programme of the coffin will be discussed and presented in following papers.
