When constructing the rock-cut tombs in the Theban necropolis, the ancient Egyptian builders kept track of the progress by recording the amount of rock that was excavated. This is clear from Eighteenth Dynasty ostraca from the tomb chapel of Senenmut, TT 71, which record stages of excavation and measure the production output in units of dnỉ. The current article reconfirms the observations of J. Černý on the dnỉ-unit and its usage as a measure exclusively for capacity, particularly in building projects involving excavation of rock. From this, the article outlines the implications for the understanding of other tomb construction terminology, in particular the ȝʿʿ, the šʿd and the dḳr. The consequence is to acknowledge that the tomb builders of Senenmut only recorded progress of excavation, and not different stages of decoration. In addition, the article suggests that baskets filled with stone flakes at Deir el-Bahri from the Middle Kingdom may represent a practical use of the dnỉ-unit.

古埃及墓葬工程中的 dnỉ 措施

在底比斯墓地建造岩石墓葬时，古埃及的建造者通过记录挖掘的岩石数量来跟踪进度。这可以从 Senenmut 的 TT 71 墓教堂的第十八王朝 ostraca 中清楚地看出，它记录了挖掘阶段，并以 dnỉ 为单位测量了产量。当前文章再次确认了 J. Černý 对 dnỉ-unit 的观察及其作为专门用于容量测量的用途，特别是在涉及挖掘岩石的建筑项目中。据此，文章概述了理解其他墓葬建筑术语的含义，特别是 ȝʿʿ、šʿd 和 dḳr。结果是承认塞嫩穆特的墓葬建造者只记录了挖掘的进度，而不是不同的装饰阶段。此外，
