Summary
[edit]DescriptionTell el-Maskhutah Raphia Decree Stele.jpg |
English: Decree of a priestly synod in honor of Ptolemy IV Philopator (the Raphia Decree) 217 BCE
Limestone stele from Tell el-Maskhutah (identified by some as ancient Pithom) discovered April 1923 during the gathering of sebakh. This photo from Gauthier and Sottas (1925) shows the front face of the stele with a winged solar disk in the lunettes and Ptolemy in a scene with several deities. The stele, like the Rosetta Stone, has three copies of the decree: the hieroglyphic inscription is on the front, the Demotic on the back, and the Greek split across the two sides of the stele. Gauthier, Henri, and Henri Sottas. Un décret trilingue en l'honneur de Ptolémée IV. l'Institut français d'archéologie orientale, 1925. (Plate I) |
