Stela Cairo CGC 34025, also called the Merneptah stela or Israel stela.
From W. F. Petrie, Six Temples at Thebes, 1896, 1897, pl. 13-14.
Adopted from Serge Rosmorduc's MdC version, which is reported to include corrections proposed
in KRI p. 41, l. 6-7. Reworked into RES according to Petrie's transcription. Further corrections are
needed, and the transcription given here may not be reliable.
