The article is devoted to the papers with the copies of the synodal decree of 196 BC from the Rosetta stone in J.G. Wilkinson’s archive kept in the “Bodleian Libraries”. The sheets contains two copies of hieroglyphic and Greek texts with English translation of the Greek version. Оne hieroglyphic text is drawn from S. Sharpe’s publication and probably enlarged, the English translation of the Greek inscription is copied from W.R. Hamilton’s edition and commented by J.C. Wilkinson.

The current paper is devoted to the inscription on the fragment of the stela from the Louvre museum collection, that could be attributed as the third monument with the biography of Taimhotep, a wife of the Memphite high priest Pasherenptah, died in 42 BC. The preserved beginning of the hieroglyphic inscription contains the dates of Taimhotep’s birth and marriage.

The present article deals with a little-known sacerdotal decree composed under Ptolemy VI Philometor in 161 BCE and includes a new hieroglyphic copy, a translation, and a commentary. The document is the most recent of the preserved Ptolemaic priestly decrees. It is of particular historical interest because it provides information on coronation ceremonies for Ptolemy VI in Memphis, an event not mentioned in other sources. Other notable elements are the reference to a revolt or unrest and the fact that the royal cartouches are consistently erased. Although the text has the usual structure of the other synodal decrees and shows, in particular, several parallels with the decrees of 196 and 185 BCE, it contains significant deviations from these texts and cannot be considered a copy or simple update of these earlier texts.

The article is devoted to the document with the copies of two synodal decrees of 186 and 185 BC from Philae discovered by the author in J.G. Wilkinson’s archive kept in the Bodleian libraries. The sheet containing only the hieroglyphic version is dated to 1820–30s, and helps to make a number of restorations in both inscriptions.

The current paper presents the copy of the hieroglyphic inscription of the stela found in Ismailia in 2021, now housed in the open-air local museum. The study is based on the photos previously available on the website of the State information service (Egypt). Transliteration of the inscription and translation are provided.

The article chiefly presents comments on four sacerdotal decrees from the Ptolemaic period. The first part of the paper provides epigraphic notes on the Greek text of stela CGC 22187 (Canopus decree). The second part contains commentaries on the texts and editons of stela CGC 22188 and the Rosetta stone (Memphite decree). The third provides notes on the recent studies devoted to the Alexandria (Philensis II) and Memphite decree (Philensis I).

The paper deals with a papyrus from the collection of the Egyptian Museum in Turin dated to the NK. It contains five fragments from the well-known “Story of Sanehet (Sinuhe)”. In many cases this version corresponds to the sources from this period with some variations. A hieroglyphic transcription, a commented translation, and a photo are presented.

The paper devoted to Spell 148 of the Coffin Texts includes a review of the previous studies and a new Russian translation, accompanied by transliteration and supplied with comments. The myth touches on the birth of Horus by the goddess Isis. It has been preserved on five coffins dated to the 11th – 12th Dynasties, mainly come from Asyut (Upper Egypt). Being different versions of the same spell, these records allow to recreate a relatively complete exposition of the birth of the lord of gods and a future ruler, expressing the Egyptians beliefs common during the First Intermediate period.

The paper presents the study of a limestone anthropoid sarcophagus from the collection of the History Museum, Vienna, dated to the Ptolemaic period. The owner of the sarcophagus is a royal scribe Hor, the name of his mother is uncertain. A short inscription is a voice-offering formula.

This article is devoted to the study of the well-known obelisk of Antinous standing on the Pincian Hill in Rome. A newly constructed interpretation of the key passages of the hieroglyphic inscriptions is introduced. A newly-made sequence of obelisk faces’ is used; corrections to N.-C. Grenier’s copy are proposed. Special attention is given to the description of four reliefs decorating the upper part of the monument, observation of the damaged fragments, and their possible reconstruction.
