GREEK INSCRIPTIONS
BY J. G. MILNE
OXFORD PRINTED AT THE UNIVERSITY PRESS
BY HORACK HART
1905
PREFACE
Tue Catalogue of Greek and Roman Inscriptions was mainly prepared in the winter of 1899. Various circumstances prevented its being printed for some time after that date: and in the mean- time so many additions and alterations had become necessary, that it seemed most convenient to forsake the original plan of giving the inscriptions in the order of the numbers assigned to them, and to re-arrange the Catalogue under classified headings. So far as regards the numbers, it is hoped that the Table prefixed to the Catalogue will make it easy to find any inscription.
A further complication has been introduced by the decision that certain bilingual inscriptions, which were originally excluded from the scope of this Catalogue, should be inserted so far as regards their Greek or Latin texts: and that the inscriptions on a number of stelae, which have been specially described in the Catalogue of $reek Sculpture, should for the sake of completeness be noticed. These inscriptions have been placed under the numbers assigned to them in the volumes for which they were first catalogued. Certain stelae, however, which were included in this Catalogue before that of Greek Sculpture was planned, have been retained under their original numbers; the illustrations of these stelae are also in this volume, and fuller descriptions of the scenes represented upon them have been left in the text.
A few monuments, which were catalogued in 1899, were transferred to the Alexandria Museum during the removal of the collections from Gizeh to Cairo. <A list of these is given in an Appendix, as certain references have been made to them in published articles under the numbers assigned in 1899.
vi PREFACE
The classification adopted has been primarily by the nature of the inscription, and then, wherever possible, by date: if a group could not be placed in order of time with approximate certainty, an alphabetical arrangement has been used.
The contractions employed in the Bibliography are as follows :—
Aeg. Z.= Zeitschrift fiir Aegyptische Sprache. Ann. Inst. = Annali dell’ Instituto. Arch. Anz. = Archiiologischer Anzeiger. Arch. Pap. = Archiv fiir Papyrusforschung.

P.S.B.A,= Proceedings of the Society of Biblical Archaeology. R.A. = Revue Archéologique. RL.G. = Revue des Etudes Grecques. Ith. Mus. = Rheinisches Museum.
It should be stated that Mr. Edgar is primarily responsible for cataloguing the amphora-handles, and the mummy-tickets from No. 9340 onwards; also he has supplied descriptions of the latest additions to the Museum. I am indebted to him, not only in respect of these, but also for much valuable help in other parts of the work. I have likewise to thank M. Seymour de Ricci for his constant and ready assistance, especially in the bibliographical work: and Canon Oldfield and Mr. Quibell, for kindly answering inquiries and verifying readings in my absence from Cairo.

There are traces of red colour in the letters. The fragments are probably those entered in the Journal under the numbers cited, and stated to have been found in the temple of Luxor, near the entry of the great court: but the identification is not certain. The restoration given is that proposed by M. de Ricci, who also suggests in 1]. 5-6 ‘armamentarium aedificatum percoh. I. Fl. Cilic. Aug.

A stele of Egyptian form, with rounded top: the curve of this is occupied by the solar disk with wings: the wings.are represented with three rows of feathers, the inner row being shown by crossed lines, the two outer ones by single series only: a uraeus hangs down on each side of the disk.
Below this is a scene, bounded at each side by a column of papyrus form, above and below by a single line. To the left is a crocodile, crowned with a double plume, seated looking to right on a pylon-shaped altar, Facing this on the right is a male figure wearing the royal uraeus and dress, in the attitude of adoration, with a cup in his left hand. Between them stands a table, with a single central leg, with three offerings upon it, and beneath it at either side an amphora and a vase of alabastron shape: over the table isa haunch. Above the crocodile is a blank cartouche, and above the table three rect- angular spaces are marked. The work is poor and apparently unfinished: the figures are intended to be in low relief, but the background has only been partially cut away round the outlines: the crocodile alone is worked in full detail. The bottom of the left-hand papyrus column serves as the initial V of the following inscription,
Beneath the scene, an inscription of twelve lines: letters 9-12 mm, high, shallow and irregular.

A stele of square shape, surmounted by a pediment with flattened top, within which is a sun- disk with wings and uraei: the wings are treated in a scheme of two rows of feathers, the inner row at an angle with the outer: a small triangular space below the disk and between the wings is filled with three rows of round bosses.
Below is a scene in a sunken panel: to the left, a crocodile with a hawk’s head, wearing a peaked crown (perhaps meant for the crown of Upper Egypt), seated looking to the right : facing it, a human figure with the head of a ram, wearing a loin-cloth and holding in its right-hand a standard. The work is very rude, in low relief: the eye of the crocodile is inlaid with red as was formerly that of the other figure.
Beneath the scene, an inscription of seven lines, cut in deep but uneven letters 13-22 mm.
high, between ruled lines.

The inlaid eye of the ram-headed figure was lost between 1896 and 1899. For the representation of Soknopaios as a hawk-headed crocodile, cf. the seal figured in B. G. U. 718: the same figure occurs on a coin of the Arsinoite nome (apparently unpublished) in the Alexandria Museum.
9286. Dedicatory stele. Sandstone. Height, 69 em.; breadth, 42 cm. Quft. [Plate II.]
A stele of Egyptian form, with rounded top. The curve of the top is occupied by a winged sun-disk : the wings are treated in three planes. On each side of the disk there hangs down a uraeus: that to the right wearing the crown of Lower Egypt, that to the left the crown of Upper Egypt.
Below this is a scene, framed above by the heaven-sign, to right and left by uas-sceptres turned inwards, below by a ground line. In the centre of the scene an infant Horus stands to right, wearing helmet with disk and double plume, with a long cloak falling behind him from his shoulders, holding in his right hand a flail, his left hand to his
mouth: he is upon a table of the form, the leg of which is knotted round by a rope, and flanked on each side by a sceptre with papyrus head. Behind is Isis, seated on a throne to right, nude, and wearing a crown of disk and horns with throne-sign J : she is
suckling another infant Horus, who also wears the helmet with disk and double plume :
the throne is on a platform. In front of the first Horus stands a figure of the emperor
to left, wearing the royal dress and a triple atef-crown, and presenting with both hands
a dish covered with offerings. The work is fairly good, in low relief. Before the head of the emperor are two cartouches
om Wi Jos ἡ Πα
and behind him, in a column, the legend, vertically written,
ae Ge a
between the cartouches and the head of Horus a column with the signs jessy, [lm : and in front of the head of Isis three vertical lines of hieroglyphs, reading

Beneath the scene are two inscriptions: one of five lines (a): letters 15-17 mm. high, well cut: the other of two lines (4) : letters 8-11 mm. high, rough and irregular.

This stele is shown by the inscriptions to be from the same temple as nos. 9252, 9255, 9268, and 22129. The only one of these which has any provenance assigned to it in the Museum records is 9268, which, according to its label, came from Qus, but in the 1883 Catalogue is stated to have been
found at Quft. The Catalogue is decidedly the better authority; and Quft may therefore be accepted as the original home of this group of stelae.
9298. Dedicatory stele. Limestone. Height, 79cm. ; breadth, 52cm. [Plate III. |
A stele with rounded top: the curve is filled by a winged sun-disk, with uraei pendant from both sides of the disk: the wings are treated in three divisions. Within the curve of the wings are two figures of animals (goats ?) turned towards one another and browsing on bushes: they stand on a line formed by a heaven-sign.
Below is an inscription of twelve lines: letters 18-23 mm. high, rough.

The inscription is apparently identical with that published in C. 1. G. 4713 e, as on an altar at Mons Claudianus. Néroutsos, however, states that this altar was found in 1871 in Minet-el-Bassal, Alexandria, and thinks it is a duplicate of the altar of Mons Claudianus. It is possible that the latter was brought to Alexandria, and the statement of Néroutsos as to its finding derived from hearsay only.
9237. Altar. Limestone. Height, 60 cm. ; breadth of capital, 26 cm.; depth of capital, 25em. Alexandria (Miller). A rectangular pillar, measuring 20 by 14cm., carrying an almost square capital.

Bibl.:; Journal, no. 27653: Milne, History of Egypt, v- p. 188: Cagnat-Besnier, R. A. xxxvi. (1900) p. 312, no. 29: de Ricci, Arch. Pap. ii. (1903) p. 445, no. 67.
The block originally contained only part of the first inscription. The lower part of the second inscription has been much defaced, and a large hole cut in the upper right-hand corner. It is not possible to say whether the evidence of the label, or that of the Journal, as to the provenance of the stone is to be preferred: both are equally unreliable. The next inscription, which was set up by soldiers of the same legions as' those named on (Ὁ), but seven years earlier, came from Quft.
9272. Votive bowl. Black granite. Height, 80cm.; diameter, 77 cm. Quft (Daressy).
A large bowl, on the outside of which is engraved an inscription of seven lines: letters 36-48 mm. and 50-56 mm. high, well cut.

emendation ... 6 ἀρχιερεὺς Διονύσιος ἐμνήσθη ’ApaBias’ Βάσσος éypayev... may help to clear the meaning.
9236. Votive stele. Limestone. Height, 27cm.; breadth, 19cm. Medinet Abou (note on back). [Plate V.]
A stele with rounded top, bearing two scenes enclosed in a raised border. In the upper one a standing figure turned to right, wearing a long robe, stretches out his hand and grasps a lotus-flower held out to him by a man advancing to left, who holds another flower in his other hand: a second man follows him, holding a flower to his mouth. In the lower scene is a bearded figure (Osiris ?) seated to right on a throne, wearing the crown of Upper Egypt and holding in both hands a uas-sceptre: in front of him stands a table with offerings, beyond which two men are running to left with upraised hands. The work is of barbarous style, in flat and low relief: a few inner details are repre- sented by incised lines.
Above the upper scene is a graffito of one line: letters 8-20 mm. high, very rough.

9267. Funerary stele. Limestone. Height, 97cm.; breadth, 45cem.; depth, 36cm. Alexandria (label). [Plate VII]
A rectangular pillar, with reliefs and inscriptions on the four sides. On the first side, in a sunk panel, are a bust of a soldier to right, wearing a crested helmet and a cuirass, and below it a shield, with a gorgoneion in the centre, and crossed spears: beneath the panel are four ‘ Canopic’ figures, turned to right—the first with a male head, wearing an atef-crown (Osiris): the second with a hawk’s head, wearing the double crown of Upper and Lower Egypt (Horus): the third with a female head, wearing a crown of disk and horns surmounted by the throne-sign (Isis): the fourth with a female (?) head (Nephthys ?). On the second side, in a sunk panel, are a similar bust of a soldier and a sea-horse(?) to right: beneath the panel are three ‘Canopic’ figures, turned to right : the first with an ibis-head, crowned with lunar disk (Thoth): the second with a male head, wearing a helmet with double plume (Amon): the third with a female head, wearing the double crown (Mut). On the third side, in a sunk panel, are a similar bust and an eagle standing facing, with head to right and outspread wings, on a thunderbolt : beneath the panel are four ‘ Canopic’ figures, turned to right: the first too much broken for identification : the second with a female head, wearing a single feather (Shu): the third with a lion’s head, crowned with a disk (Tefnut) : the fourth with a female head, crowned with a disk and horns (Hathor). On the fourth side only the bottom of the sunk panel remains, showing the legs of an animal sitting to left (a lion ?): beneath are three ‘ Canopic’ figures, turned to right: the first with a ram’s head, crowned with a disk (Ra): the second with a male head, wearing the crown of Lower Egypt with feather (Atum): the third with a female head, crowned with a vase (Nut). The work is rather rough: in the panels the figures are executed in low relief: the ‘ Canopi’ are sunk and slightly modelled.
On each side there are lines of inscriptions running vertically down the sides of the panels : also below the Canopic figures there are, on the first side, nine lines: on the second side, eleven: on the third and fourth, ten each. The letters are 15-30 mm. high, deeply cut, but rough.

The left-hand top corner of the stone is broken away. Cagnat’s version, from a copy made by Lieut. Martin in 1879, shows in one or two lines on the edge of the break parts of letters not now
on the stone and not read by Maspero in 1882, which presumably had been chipped off in the interval.

Though the phrasing of the inscription suggests that it belongs to Abydos, this is hardly a sufficient reason for setting aside the evidence of the Journal as to its provenance: especially in view of the facts that the stele is of limestone, which was very rarely used at Abydos for similar purposes in Roman times: that the treatment of the scene differs from that customary at Abydos, e.g. in the representation of Osiris as standing instead of seated, in the absence of a table of offerings, in the position of Anubis before instead of behind the dead man, and in the figure of the dead not being a mummy: and that the style of execution is distinct from that of the Abydene stelae. Moreover, Abydos was not the only place where this scene was used for funerary stelae: it occurs on no. 9234, from the Fayum, and on a stele from Quft (Petrie, Koptos, p. 35), at University College, London.

In regard to the find-spot, Mariette’s information seems more trustworthy than the label : especially as the use of limestone for stelae at Abydos was very exceptional in the Roman period.

A rectangular stele, having on the upper part a scene, showing Osiris seated to right on a throne placed upon a platform: he wears the crown of Upper Egypt flanked by plumes, and holds a sceptre in his right hand. Behind him is Isis, standing to right,
wearing a long robe, and with her left hand raised: on her head is the ἢ sign. On the
platform, in front of Osiris, is a table, bearing three offerings. Beyond this are two figures (the lower parts only preserved): the foremost wears a long skirt and raises his hands, the second (Anubis?) wears a short skirt and puts the other figure forward. In front of the head of Osiris is a framed space for inscription, blank. The work is rough, and for the most part in outline only: the inner work of the throne and the platform are hatched with crossed lines: and the folds of the dresses of the two figures are indicated. Below is an inscription of four lines; letters 8-14 mm. high, roughly cut, between lines.

The right-hand upper corner of the stone is lost. The stele was found in Oct. 1862 (Journal). The date of the year is more probably meant for κθ than for v@: the latter could only refer to some exceptional era. The character of the lettering suggests the reign of Augustus. The general scheme of the scene is that found on the following class of stelae from Abydos: but the treatment in detail, as well as the execution, shows a marked distinction.

of the disk to about half the depth of the wings. Beneath this is a mummy, lying to the right on a sacred boat with lotus prow and stern, at either end of which isa jackal, seated on its haunches, looking towards it.
Below this is a scene, bounded above by the heaven-sign, below by a broad ground line, at each side by a uas-sceptre turned inwards. The left centre of the scene is occupied by Osiris, seated to right on a throne placed on a small platform : he wears the crown of Upper Egypt flanked by plumes, and holds in his right hand a flail, in his left a sceptre. Behind him Isis stands to right, wearing a long robe, with her left hand raised, her
right hand hanging down: on her head the ἢ sign. Before him is ἃ table (apparently
with offerings), beyond which stands a mummied form, put forward by a jackal-headed figure of Anubis, wearing a long robe, both turned to left.
The work is very poor, the lines being merely incised with very little attempt at further treatment.
