Настоящее исследование посвящено изданию историко-биографических надписей на египетском языке (иероглифика, иератика, демотика) греко римского времени, происходящих в основном из некрополя Саккары и Серапеума Мемфиса. Перевод текстов на папирусах, саркофагах, стелах, статуях и других музейных экспонатах сопровождается филологическим комментарием. Многие материалы публикуются впервые.

Исследование посвящено письменным источникам древнего Египта, начиная с первого персидского завоевания и заканчивая эпохой Птолемеев. Большинство документов переведены на русский язык впервые, при этом уточнены многие ранние издания иероглифических текстов.

This brief article deals with a unique seal impression currently housed in the Metropolitan Museum of Art (MMA 10.130.1563). Dating to the Ptolemaic Period, it belonged to a priest of the cults of Arsinoe and Philotera, but until now has not been analyzed in detail. The hieroglyphic text, transliteration, and translation is presented here along with a discussion of its date. Can be sent upon request.

Inscriptions on the finely carved healing statue from the Tyszkievicz collection are still insufficiently studied. A brief review of the earlier research is followed by comments on some arguable questions. Firstly, an identification and parentage of the owner of the statue. The author proposes to consider three priests who are pictured on the chest of the statue to be brothers. While every figure is labeled with a name and priestly titles, a single filiation “son of N, born to M” could be applied to each person, likewise the words “honored by god”, also inscribed once. Accordingly, Pashribastet and Iseturet were the parents of Padimaikhsa, Pashrimut and Djedher Pamai. Secondly, the first spell is addressed to the heart of a person (the word jb “heart” is mistakenly omitted by G. Lefebvre) who drinks “this water”. Thus, it could suggest that the statue was erected near some water source. Third, the last part of the spell “The hand of Atum” (a poor copy of the text with no translation is given in E. Jelínková-Reymond’s publication) includes an appeal to the deities Shed-Baal (not listed in LGG) and Repyt. Translation of this magical charm is provided with detailed philological commentary. Quotations from different sources with a myth about a dwarf-like amulet of Geb and Neith follow the discussion of the records. Finally, a comparison of the statue Louvre E 10777 with the statue Naples 1065 leads to the conclusion that both monuments may have been produced in the same workshop.

The note aims to introduce an inscription from the fragment of a Late-Egyptian coffin lid currently in a German private collection. The offering formula containts a reference to the temple of Osiris located in “the Lower Egyptian Abydos” (today Abusir al-Meleq)

The current paper aims to present two monuments from the Late Period and to discuss their historical significance. Photos of stela BM 393 taken in ultraviolet and infrared made possible to read the faded inscription. The study of the record reveals a blood relation between the owner of the stela Anemher (217–132 BC) and Imhotep (IV century BC), known from the sarcophagus Louvre D 12. New research thus introduces a previously unknown family of wnr-priests, who lived in the IV–II centuries BC and officiated in Letopolis and the Serapeum of Memphis. Anemher, the last member of the priestly dynasty relates that he was involved in the burial of an Apis bull in 143 BC.

The article deals with the study of two figurines of Thoth kept in the Pushkin Museum of Fine Arts, Moscow (Inv. I.1.a 5702 and I.1.a 5703) and presents the hieroglyphic text, translation and textual comments on the inscriptions. The first artifact is dated to the Late period, the other to the end of the 20th dynasty.
