The dissertation focuses on the texts from the inner side of the outer sarcophagus from the tomb of priest Iufaa at Abusir, dated to the Saite-Persian period. The aim of the thesis is to present transcription, translation and analysis of these so far unpublished texts. The work is based on a primary epigraphical survey in situ in the seasons 2015-2019, as well as on the archive documentation made during the excavation of the tomb. A significant part of the decoration, covering the part around the head of the deceased and great parts of the northern and southern walls of the inner side of Iufaa's outer sarcophagus, consists of hitherto completely unknown and unnatested texts. The rest of the decoration consists of an extended variant of the Pyramid Texts offering ritual and related texts. Each spell is transcripted in hieroglyphs, transliterated, translated and commented. In the case that parallel versions exist, the text is compared with them, and the differences are commented on. The decoration of the sarcophagus is also compared with the contemporary tombs and put in the context of the Saite-Persian necropolis at Abusir, Late Period religious background and specifics surrounding the person of priest Iufaa.
