(R to L) Nut, Sahu & Meskhetiu, Sopdet, smd rsy and smd mḥty, nṯr ḏꜣ pt and rmn ḥry, tpy-ꜥ spd and ı͗my-ḫt spd, ꜣḫwy and ꞽmy-ḫt ꜣḫwy, ḥꜣt ḫꜣw and pḥwy ḫꜣw, ḫntt ḥrt and ḫntt ẖrt

No big red circle is present at the beginning of the offering formula.

This table preserves L sꜣbw, the twelfth triangle decan, in the list columns only. It is also the only known table to preserve M ḥꜣt sꜣbw (Cockcroft & Symons, 2013). However, the triangle is not well-listed, despite being well-represented in the main body of the table. Like all other type T tables, it lacks two ordinary decans (19 bꜣwy and 25 rmn ẖry) in the main body and so has two occurrences of the ṯmꜣt decans at the beginning of the beginning of the ordinary decans and just before the triangle.

This table is, with T6, one of only two diagonal star tables on public display in Egypt.  It is the easier of the two to view as it is displayed standing upright on one of its long edges. Unfortunately, the star table is upside down.
