Litanies were not only an element in the composition of some Coptic funerary stelae, but they were also distinguished by restricting each scribe to asking for intercession from some saints and not others. This article publishes two Coptic tombstones containing this formula; they were in the possession of a person called Zaki Mohareb and they are preserved today in the Abou El-Goud storage magazine at Luxor. Because there is no data on the provenance and the date of these two texts, this study also investigates these two issues
