Abstract:
Four volumes in this review constitute important contributions to the study of ancient documents and their employment in antiquity, as well as their value for modern historical research. Paola Ceccarelli has written a monumental study of letter-writing and the use of writing for long-distance communication in Ancient Greece; Karen Radner has edited a volume on state correspondence in ancient empires; Christopher Eyre's book concerns documents in Pharaonic Egypt; and Peter Liddel and Polly Low have edited a brilliant collection on the uses of inscriptions in Greek and Latin literature. The first three volumes have major consequences for the study of the workings of ancient state systems, while those by Ceccarelli, Eyre, and Liddel and Low open new avenues into the study of the interrelationship between written documents and literature.

Abstract:
This article is dedicated to examination of the history of emergence of Greek mercenaries during the riling time of XXVI Sais Dynasty. The author reviews the status and role of Greek mercenaries in the armed forced of Sais rulers, organization of their service and living conditions. Considering the fact that the use of Greek mercenaries in Egypt army was a part of the traditional policy of Sais rulers and carried mass character, the author refers to the problem  of social origin of the phenomenon of mercenarism in the Greek society of Archaic era. The research applies comparative-historical method that allows viewing the phenomenon of mercenarism in the historical context – based on the comparative data analysis of ancient written tradition. By the time of Sais Dynasty, control over regions that traditionally provided mercenaries to the Egypt army was lost. Under the circumstances, in order to compensate such losses, Egypt conscripted into military service the hailed from the Greek world. Mercenaries became the first Greeks settled on the Egyptian land. The conclusion is made that the Greek colonization, in absence of other ways to enter the formerly closed to the Greeks Egypt, at its initial stage manifested in such distinct form.

Abstract:
Abstract Discussion of the various poll tax rates in Roman Egypt, which can be reduced to a simple scheme drawn up by the Romans upon their conquest of Egypt. This scheme suggests that in 30 BC the distribution of the population in Egypt was roughly uniform except for the Fayyum (underpopulated) and the western oases (overpopulated), possibly also Thebes (overpopulated). It also suggests that in 30 BC the distribution of the Greek population was uneven, with virtually no Greeks in Upper Egypt, possibly also the oases, and fewer Greeks in Oxyrhynchus than in other metropoleis in Lower and Middle Egypt.

Abstract This article examines Ptolemaic papyrological sources (Demotic and Greek) indicating the existence of marketplaces located next to the river during this period, which have so far been completely overlooked in the discussion on Egyptian markets. It focuses particularly on the location of marketplaces and their relation to settlements and the markets’ setting – whether they were surrounded by farmland or by buildings, and of what type. This analysis points to the highest parts of the riverbanks as the most likely location of marketplaces. Additionally, the article contains terminological remarks regarding the terms for the marketplace and the Nile in both Demotic and Greek.

Abstract:
The demand of philosophising in Africa has faced a history of criticism that has been particularly Eurocentric and strongly biased. However, that trend is changing with the emergence of core philosophical thinking in Africa. This paper is an attempt to articulate a singular issue in this evolution—the originality of African philosophy, through Ancient Egypt and its influence on Greek philosophy. The paper sets about this task by first exposing the historical debate on the early beginnings of the philosophical enterprise, with a view to establishing the possibility of philosophical influences in Africa. It then goes ahead to posit the three hypotheses that link Greek philosophy to have developed from the cultural materiality of Ancient Egypt, and the Eurocentric travesty of history in recognising influences of philosophy as from Europe alone, apart from Egypt.

Abstract:
AbstractPapyri from Egypt constitute the largest body of contemporary documentary evidence for the reign of Muʿāwiya. Most notable among them are the 107 texts in the archive of Flavius Papas, a local official of Upper Egypt in the 670s. Most are in Greek and provide insight into the administration, society and economy of a provincial centre. Since many deal with taxes and requisitions, they illustrate the incessant demands of the Islamic regime in Fusṭāṭ and the way local officials dealt with them. In particular, the archive shows the importance of Egypt for providing the men, materials and supplies essential for the war fleet of the caliphate. A few other documents from Upper Egypt hint at the economic role of the Church. This is the first of two parts, the second dealing with Middle Egypt, Fusṭāṭ and Alexandria.

Full text
Abstract:
AbstractThis article re-evaluates the significance attributed to Hecataeus' encounter with the Theban priests described by Herodotus (2.143) by setting it against the evidence of Late Period Egyptian representations of the past. In the first part a critique is offered of various approaches Classicists have taken to this episode and its impact on Greek historiography. Classicists have generally imagined this as an encounter in which the young, dynamic and creative Greeks construct an image of the static, ossified and incredibly old culture of the Egyptians, a move which reveals deeper assumptions in the scholarly discourse on Greeks and ‘other’ cultures in the Mediterranean world. But the civilization that Herodotus confronted in his long excursus on Egypt was not an abstract, eternal Egypt. Rather, it was the Egypt of his own day, at a specific historical moment – a culture with a particular understanding of its own long history. The second part presents evidence of lengthy Late Period priestly genealogies, and more general archaizing tendencies. Remarkable examples survive of the sort of visual genealogy which would have impressed upon the travelling Greek historians the long continuum of the Egyptian past. These include statues with genealogical inscriptions and relief sculptures representing generations of priests succeeding to their fathers' office. These priestly evocations of a present firmly anchored in the Egyptian past are part of a wider pattern of cultivating links with the historical past in the Late Period of Egyptian history. Thus, it is not simply the marvel of a massive expanse of time which Herodotus encountered in Egypt, but a mediated cultural awareness of that time. The third part of the essay argues that Herodotus used this long human past presented by the Egyptian priests in order to criticize genealogical and mythical representations of the past and develop the notion of an historical past. On the basis of this example, the article concludes by urging a reconsideration of the scholarly paradigm for imagining the encounter between Greeks and ‘others’ in ethnographic discourse in order to recognize the agency of the Egyptian priests, and other non-Greek ‘informants’.

Full text
Abstract:
My work is a socio-historical study of the institution of the gymnasium in Egypt, of its evolution and role in the assertion of certain aspects of ‘Greek identity’ in Ptolemaic and early Roman times. It is divided into four sections. (1) Attention is devoted to the study of the gymnasium itself, as institution, analysing its diffusion, foundation, internal organisation and the role played by associations which were hosted therein. The constitution and the characteristics of the governing body (with special attention to the role of the gymnasiarchs) and the financial matters relevant to the gymnasium allow one to draw conclusions on its legal status and social role: it is shown how the gymnasium of Egypt operated in a completely different way from the traditional one which is normally assumed for the Greek poleis, especially of mainland Greece and above all Athens. A possible model of influence is suggested. (2) Starting from the rules of admission into the gymnasium and from the treatment of the outsiders, the social status and social composition of the members of the gymnasium are object of enquiry, focusing on the links with the army and the public administration. It is argued that the gymnasial community should be considered as a complex reality, formed by different components belonging to various levels of the social strata. (3) Educational, religious and recreational activities carried out in the premises of the gymnasium or strictly connected to it are taken into account to give an idea of the ‘daily life’ of the institution and of the ‘behaviour’ of its people, which was likely to be the result of a feeling of ‘shared identity’. (4) The concluding section draws the attention to the issue of identity of the people of the gymnasium more clearly: relation with the ‘others’ and idea of Greekness the people of the gymnasium had about themselves (influenced by the rulers’ policies), access to gymnasia, onomastics, elite classes, mixed marriages, reception of Egyptian burial methods and cults, advantage of ‘going Greek’. It is argued that, although having in the gymnasium the key-element for the assertion of their identity and status of Hellenes, the ‘Greeks’ of Egypt displayed complex patterns of mixed identities and were thoroughly embedded in the social, cultural, religious, and administrative environment of Egypt.

Abstract:
The aim of this thesis is to approach Ptolemaic and Imperial royal sculpture in Egypt dating between 300 BC and AD 220 (the reigns of Ptolemy I and Caracalla) from a contextual point of view. To collect together the statuary items (recognised as statues, statue heads and fragments, and inscribed bases and plinths) that are identifiably royal and have a secure archaeological context, that is a secure find spot or a recoverable provenance, within Egypt. I then used this material, alongside other types of evidence such as textual sources and numismatic material, to consider the distribution, style, placement, and functions of the royal statues, and to answer the primary questions of where were these statues located? what was the relationship between statue, especially statue style, and placement? And what changes can be identified between Ptolemaic and Imperial royal sculpture? From analysis of the sculptural evidence, this thesis was able to create a catalogue of 103 entries composed of 157 statuary items, and use this to identify the different styles of royal statues that existed in Ptolemaic and Imperial Egypt and the primary spaces for the placement of such imagery, namely religious and urban space. The results of this thesis, based on the available evidence, was the identification of a division between sculptural style and context regarding the royal statues, with Egyptian-style material being placed in Egyptian contexts, Greek-style material in Greek, and Imperial-style statues associated with classical contexts. The functions of the statues appear to have also typically been closely related to statue style and placement. Many of the statues were often directly associated with their location, meaning they were an intrinsic part of the function and appearance of the context they occupied, as well as acting as representations of the monarchs. Primarily, the royal statues acted as a way to establish and maintain communication between different groups in Egypt.

Abstract:
This thesis studies how three Greek writers differentiate between each other in their texts about ancient Egypt. The three writers included in this thesis are Herodotus, Diodorus Siculus and Plutarch. Their texts describe Egypt and its many aspects, and the names of their texts are as following; Histories and Library of History by Herodotus and Diodorus, and De Herodoti malignitate, De Iside et Osiride and Placita Philosophorum by Plutarch.        This thesis is comparing these writers with each other using two case studies; The Nile and Egyptian cleanness for their gods. The case studies were chosen to limit this thesis upon two aspects of Egypt that the writers should have encountered if they went to Egypt. This brings a theory to light; if the writers' texts are truthfully representing Egypt or if their texts are nothing but literature constructions. This thesis is also looking at how Egyptians are portrayed by the writers with use of the theory the other.        By reading the texts and modern literature about the writers a conclusion is made. The writers are different from each other in their descriptions of Egypt. Herodotus and Diodorus view Egypt as a wonderful land with a wonderful culture. Plutarch is also portraying Egypt with respect as Herodotus and Diodorus but does at the same time view Egypt with a more negative view. This is because Plutarch believes that the Greek culture is the foremost culture in the world.        A problem with all the writers’ texts is based upon that they did not speak ancient Egyptian and could therefore not make use of all the sources presented to them. Herodotus is viewed to not even have visited Egypt. Their texts are to be looked at with a grain of salt even though they clearly tried to represent Egypt as well as they could in their texts. Their texts are to be view as a literature construction simply because the writers did not understand Egyptian and therefore relied on earlier texts about Egypt made in Greek.

Full text
Abstract:
Cette thèse porte un regard nouveau sur la présence grecque en Égypte avant la conquête d’Alexandre le Grand. Par le biais des amphores grecques retrouvées en Égypte, notre étude apporte quelques éclairages sur la question des mobilités méditerranéennes. Notre approche, résolument archéologique, prend en considération l’ensemble de la documentation amphorique, en grande partie inédite, sur une trentaine de sites égyptiens. Les assemblages céramiques et la nature des contextes alimentent nos réflexions. Des études quantitatives permettent de déterminer la part relative des importations et ainsi de préciser aussi bien les réseaux d’échanges que la pénétration des produits méditerranéens en Égypte. Nous avons pu mettre en évidence un basculement du commerce qui, vers la fin du VIIe, se déplace du Levant vers les cités égéennes. Au cours du VIe siècle nous assistons à une généralisation progressive des importations grecques. Le monde égéen s’impose alors comme le partenaire économique privilégié d’un commerce à grande échelle. Largement distribuées sur l’ensemble du territoire, les amphores grecques ne se cantonnent pas aux seuls établissements côtiers dont la nature est également à l’étude. L’invasion de Cambyse en 525 ne semble pas mettre un frein à ces échanges. Nous notons toutefois quelques changements dans la hiérarchie des principales cités égéennes exportatrices. La présence importante d’amphores grecques et la faible représentation de céramiques fines dans des contextes domestiques égyptiens témoignent de la réception des denrées exportées sans toutefois entraîner un changement dans le mode de consommation local
This thesis takes a fresh look at Greek presence in Egypt before the conquest of Alexander the Great. By looking at Greek amphorae found in Egypt, our study will shed some light on the question of movement in the Mediterranean.Our approach is strictly archaeological and will take into consideration the ensemble of documentation concerning amphorae, still largely unpublished, from some 30 Egyptian sites. This enquiry places the archaeological context at the heart of the argument. The ceramic assemblages and the nature of contexts are what nourish our reflections. Quantitative studies allow us to determine the relative role of imports and thus to elucidate both exchange networks and the penetration of Mediterranean products into Egypt. We have been able to reveal a swing in trade towards the end of the 7th century away from the Levant and towards the Aegean cities. To date, nothing indicates a significant Greek presence prior to the last third of the 7th century. Throughout the 6th century, we witness a gradual generalisation of Greek imports. Widely distributed across the entire territory, Greek amphorae are not limited to coastal settlements, the nature of which is also under study. The invasion of Cambyses in 525 does not seem to have slowed this exchange. We do, however, note certain changes in the hierarchy of the principal Aegean export cities. The wide distribution of Greek amphorae is evidence of a strong current that can no longer be envisaged simply as destined for Greek communities in situ. By situating our data with a Mediterranean perspective, we are proposing a hypothesis of a more pronounced north-south circulation

Abstract:
La civilisation égyptienne « pharaonique » et la culture grecque « politique », séparées par la mer, la langue, l’écriture et les traditions, passent souvent pour irréductibles l’une à l’autre. Qui plus est, la disparition, vers l’an 1000, des « civilisations du bronze » (Nouvel Empire, palais Mycéniens) et l’entrée dans l’obscurité d’une période de transition (« Troisième Période Intermédiaire » en Egypte, « âges obscurs » en Grèce) avaient fait rompre les amarres entre les deux rives de la Méditerranée. Un texte d’Hérodote attribue la reprise du contact entre les deux mondes à des mercenaires Ioniens et Cariens qui aidèrent Psammétique I à conquérir le pouvoir pharaonique, à partir de 664 av. J.-C. Quant à l’archéologie grecque d'Égypte, elle insiste sur la date de 625 environ comme terminus post quem, c’est-à-dire l’année à partir de laquelle la présence grecque en Égypte est bien documentée. Cette reconstitution des faits, qui doit tout à Hérodote et à une archéologie extrêmement parcellaire, laisse complètement dans le noir les siècles précédents, en particulier le VIIIème dit « géométrique », qui est pourtant l’âge homérique, et le VIIème dit « orientalisant », qui voit les Grecs multiplier leurs contacts avec les civilisations de Méditerranée orientale. Or, tant les poèmes homériques (essentiellement l’Odyssée) que la découverte d’objets égyptiens ou égyptisants en Crète et ailleurs en Égée posent le problème de l’existence possible de contacts entre l'Égypte et le monde Égéen avant le milieu du VIIème siècle. Ces contacts furent-ils directs ou indirects (intermédiaire phénicien) ? Pacifiques ou conflictuels (piraterie) ? Se firent-ils par l’ouest (doriens) ou par l’est (ioniens) ? Comment sont nées les conceptions grecques de l'Égyptien et du Noir, « les plus justes et les plus pieux des hommes » ? Autant de questions dont le réexamen devra être mené dans un questionnement incluant l’histoire ancienne, l’archéologie et l’histoire des régulations sociales
In Homers‟ Odyssey, a poem usually dated circa 700 BC, the famous and shrewd Odysseus, when he finally comes back home incognito, pretends to be a Cretan sailor just arrived from Egypt. His lie is so convincing that everybody at Ithaka believes it. This dissertation is, in a sense, intended to show that, if the Homeric poems are of course fictional creations, they express, in this specific case, some historical reality. In other words, we see here something that we can interpret as representative of a socio-cultural fact, namely the existence of nautical ties connecting the Aegean world to Egypt duringthe “Geometric” (IXth-VIIIth c.BC) and early “Orientalizing” (beginning VIIth c. BC) Periods. These connections have so far been ignored or underestimated even in recent scholarly tradition. This scientific bias rests on some preconceived ideas, namely : the trust unduly given to the Herodotean narrative according to which there were no Greeks in Egypt before Psammetichus I (664 BC) and the belief in the so-called “Phoenician middleman” as an exclusive intermediary. On the contrary, recent researches on the Mediterranean world in the “longue durée” point to new appreciation of Greek presence on every coast of the Eastern Mediterranean in the first half of the first Millennium BC.Greek presence on the Nile Delta shore, which is not archeologically visible because of geological subsidence, can be, if not altogether proven, at least clearly suggested by the huge amount of so-called Aegyptiaca found in many sites of the Aegean world. Relying on the invaluable catalogue created by N. Skon-Jedele, supplemented by new discoveries, we conclude that these artefacts, some of which are earlier than previously thought, are too numerous to be understood without the mediation of, among others, Greek traders attracted by their effectiveness, and notably by the protection they were thought to afford to the family circle

Abstract:
Cette étude concerne le fait théâtral dans ses dimensions matérielles, éclairé par les textes relatifs au fonctionnement et à la place du théâtre dans la société de l'Égypte hellénistique et romaine. Foyer d'expression et de diffusion de la culture gréco-romaine, la pratique théâtrale apparaît comme un élément fondamental au sein du processus d'hellénisation qui se met en place en Égypte à partir de la conquête d'Alexandre le Grand. Trois grands axes de recherche ont été définis : en premier lieu, le théâtre est étudié en tant qu'ouvrage architectural. Cette approche, essentiellement archéologique, est également mise en relation avec la notion de cadre urbanistique et de parure monumentale des villes d'Égypte à cette période. Nos recherches s'orientent ensuite plus spécifiquement sur le rayonnement de la pratique théâtrale en Égypte, à travers l'étude des productions d'objets issus de l'univers théâtral et dionysiaque. Ces représentations témoignent non seulement de la diffusion et de l'adaptation d'une composante essentielle de la culture grecque et romaine en Égypte, mais également de l'attachement royal à Dionysos, considéré comme l'ancêtre de la dynastie lagide. En troisième et dernier lieu, les activités et les diverses manifestations associées à l'édifice théâtral sont développées ; il s’agit d’aborder non seulement les spectacles, les auteurs et les acteurs, mais également les questions d'entretien, de maintenance et de gestion du bâtiment. L'apport de la documentation textuelle et archéologique constitue un outil précieux dans le développement de cette problématique
This study deals with theatre in his material dimensions, enlightened by the texts relating to the operation and place of theatre in the society of Hellenistic and Roman Egypt. Centre of expression and diffusion of Graeco-Roman culture, theatrical practice appears as a fundamental element in the process of Hellenization which implements in Egypt from the conquest of Alexander the Great. Three main areas of research were identified : first, the theatre is discussed as in his architectural dimension. This approach, mainly archaeological, is also in relation with the notion of urban planning framework and set of monumental cities of Egypt at this time. Then our research focuses specifically on the influence of theatrical practice in Egypt, through the study of the production of objects associated to theatrical and Dionysiac world. These images reflect not only the diffusion and adaptation of an essential component of Greek and Roman culture in Egypt, but also the royal attachment to Dionysus, considered the ancestor of Ptolemaic dynasty. Third and finally, the various activities and events associated with the theatre building are developed ; we deal not only dramatic shows, authors and actors, but also maintenance and building management issues. The contribution of textual documentation is an invaluable tool in the development of these notions

Abstract:
The doctoral thesis aims at presenting the language and style of early Byzantine epistolography, as well as the ideas and emotions that underlie it, seen through the prism of unpublished material from the collection of the Austrian National Library in Vienna. Its starting point is the examination of private letters written on papyri dated from the 4th to the 7th century AD. The dissertation processes a "raw" material, thanks to which we can get an immediate insight into linguistic and stylistic evolution, social networks developing in the Byzantine province of Egypt, people and their emotions. This work consists of a catalog of the edited texts to help navigate through the material and the following parts: A. The introductory part, divided into three sections: 1) Review of literature on the history of ancient Greek epistolography, and previous monographs, key articles and research; 2) A detailed description of the work methodology; 3) Language aspects and stylistics. Part 3 discusses the most interesting discoveries from the linguistic point of view and other observations made on the basis of the edited texts, of particular value for researchers in the field of history and other related fields. B. Texts: edition of twenty-five letters made according to papyrological standards; accurate transcription; commentary on individual lines of text (analysis of the form and content of documents): grammar, phonetics, structural phenomena, prosopographic data, socio-historical analysis, paleographic comparisons with other texts. C. Conclusions: summary of research results. Finally, in the form of annexes, there appear full indexes of dates, names, professions and officials, terms related to religion and the Church, and a general index of Greek words. One of the annexes, illustrated with photos, is devoted to the abbreviations appearing in the texts. The annexes also contain a list of so-called nomina sacra, or abbreviations of a special form used to write names, proper names, and terms closely related to the Christian religion
Rozprawa doktorska ma za zadanie przedstawić język i stylistykę wczesnobizantyjskiej epistolografii, a także idee i emocje w niej obecne, widziane przez pryzmat niepublikowanego wcześniej materiału z kolekcji Biblioteki Narodowej Austrii w Wiedniu. Jej punktem wyjścia jest badanie listów prywatnych pisanych na papirusach, datowanych od IV do VII w.n.e. Rozprawa opracowuje „surowy” materiał, dzięki któremu możemy uzyskać natychmiastowy wgląd w ewolucję językową i stylistyczną, sieci społecznościowe rozwijające się w bizantyjskiej prowincji Egiptu, na ludzi i ich emocje. Niniejsza praca składa się z katalogu opracowanych tekstów ułatwiającego poruszanie się po materiale oraz następujących części: A. Część wstępna, podzielona na trzy sekcje: 1) Przegląd literatury omawiającej historię starożytnej greckiej epistolografii oraz dotychczasowych monografii, najważniejszych artykułów i badań; 2) Szczegółowy opis metodologii pracy; 3) Aspekty językowe i stylistyka. Część 3 omawia odkrycia najciekawsze z punktu widzenia języka oraz inne obserwacje poczynione na podstawie opracowanych tekstów i mające szczególną wartość dla badaczy reprezentujących dziedziny historyczne. B. Teksty: edycja dwudziestu pięciu listów wykonana wedle standardów papirologicznych; staranna transkrypcja; komentarz do poszczególnych linii tekstu (analiza formy i treści dokumentów): gramatyka, fonetyka, zjawiska strukturalne, dane prosopograficzne, analiza społeczno-historyczna, paleograficzne porównania z innymi tekstami. C. Konkluzje: podsumowanie wyników badań. Na koniec, w postaci aneksów, pojawiają się pełne indeksy dat, imion, zawodów i urzędników, terminów związanych z religią i Kościołem, oraz ogólny indeks słów greckich. Jeden z aneksów, ilustrowany zdjęciami, poświęcony jest skrótom występującym w tekstach. Aneksy zawierają także listę tzw. nomina sacra, czyli skrótów o szczególnej formie stosowanych do zapisu imion, nazw własnych i terminów ściśle powiązanych z religią chrześcijańską.

Abstract:
This chapter surveys the history of monasticism in the region of Nitria based on the literary sources available. The principal literary sources for the monastic settlement of Nitria include Rufinus' continuation of Eusebius' Ecclesiastical History up to the death of Theodosius (401–403), the Historia monachorum in Aegypto (395?) in Greek and Rufinus' Latin translation of the same work (404), and the Lausiac Historyof Palladius some twenty years later (420?). There are earlier briefer notices, such as Antony's vision of the death of Ammoun recorded in the Life of Antony, ch. 60 (357?) and Jerome's mention of Macarius, Isidore, and Pambo in his Letter 22 written in 384.

Abstract:
Abstract Slavery in Pharaonic Egypt was a relatively minor phenomenon, with significant differences from slavery in Greek and Roman societies. The creation of the Ptolemaic state and the subsequent Roman conquest had important consequences for the history of slavery in Egypt. In the course of the Ptolemaic and Roman imperial periods, the introduction of Greek and Roman patterns of slaveholding alongside wider changes in the Egyptian economy and society led to a significant increase in the numbers and uses of slaves in Egypt. Egypt offers therefore an ideal case study for examining the changing history of ancient slavery and the entanglement between different slaving traditions. The exceptional nature of Egyptian documentary papyri makes it possible to explore subjects like patterns of slaveholding, gender ratios among slaves, and the employment of slaves in different economic sectors.

Abstract:
Chapter 6 showed the long history of metonomasy, which is preserved in a number of entries in documentary evidence and particularly in Stephanus, relating to cities and communities of the Classical world. It also investigated the reverse process, by which ethnics of cities that had for one reason or another ceased to exist as independent bodies continued to be used, particularly (but not exclusively) in peripheral regions such as Egypt. This chapter looks forward to the new world, particularly the early Hellenistic age, which brought into being new urban settlements, with politically eponymous titles.

Abstract:
The discovery and collection of multilingual inscriptions through excavation and the antiquities trade in the nineteenth century played a crucial role in the decipherment of Egyptian scripts. The history of the modern ownership of inscriptions now located in Egypt, Europe, and North America and their role in the development of Egyptology are closely linked. The chapter traces the history of scholarship on several Greek-Egyptian texts, including an unpublished inscription from the Delta, a decree in honour of a member of a prominent family from Upper Egypt, foundation plaques from a temple of Hathor-Aphrodite, and a sphinx from Koptos. The reassembly of stones which were often dispersed and broken into separate pieces through circumstances of excavation or the antiquities market allows us to establish equivalences between Egyptian and Greek concepts, people, and places, and sheds light on the sociolinguistic situation in individual communities, and in Egypt as a whole.
