Demotic graffiti and other short texts gathered from many publications : short texts III 1201-2350 /
:
As continuation of the two preceding volumes of 'Short Texts' with demotic votive inscriptions (volume I) and mummy labels (volume II), this volume brings together all but 800 demotic and Greek-demotic graffiti. These are in principle all the graffiti published in periodicals, congress proceedings and colloquia and 'Festschrifts', as well as in monographs that are not exclusively concerned with demotic graffiti (chiefly excavations reports). The texts are presented in topographical order from South to North, with those from a single monument kept together. The texts show the full gamut of themes encountered in demotic graffiti, which are more varied than their reputation would suggest: the commemorative inscriptions often have more to offer than just names and provide information about the careers of the inscribers, occasionally even touching on historical events of a larger scale. Specifically the numerous and variegated graffiti from the stone quarries in Middle Egypt and at Tura and Masara opposite ancient Memphis deserve to be mentioned because many of these texts are published here for the first time. Several clusters of these quarry graffiti belong to the first demotic texts that were recorded in the nineteenth century, and they constitute the only extant copies for many texts that have now been destroyed. In addition, there are some three hundred brief inscriptions on various objects such as coins, hieratic papyri and mummy linen, stelae, sculptors' models and plaques, various vases and amphoras, containers for embalming materials, dishes for the preparation of kyphi, and various other objects.

Ostraka Varia : tax receipts and legal documents on Demotic, Greek, and Greek-Demotic Ostraka, chiefly of the early Ptolemaic period, from various collections (P.L. Bat. 26) /
:
A large majority of the 65 ostraka published in this volume come from Egypt in the Third Century B.C. Some thirty are from Elephantine; these comprise a number of Greek and Greek-demotic receipts. Not unimportant new texts from Hermonthis and Thebes (among others, a fine example of a temple oath) add notably to the diversity of the volume. Although of course tax receipts predominate, these are present in a rich variety, and their commentaries add much to our knowledge of fiscal matters in this period. As a nouveauté the Greek and demotic texts are published on exactly the same footing, and a constant effort is made to merge the separate worlds of Greek and demotic papyrology. Hand-facsimiles facilitate the consultation of the individual texts; the whole is rounded off by photographic plates showing all texts in full.

Demotic funerary stelae and other short texts gathered from many publications
:
With this volume of Short Texts the collection of epigraphical texts initiated in the first volume of our series reaches completion with the demotic funerary stelae, 247 in all. All those with known provenance are listed in geographical order from South to North resulting in sometimes bulky listings for several individual places: for example of 24 nos. for Dendara, 79 for Abydos (even two new, hitherto unpublished ones), 22 for Akhmim, 43 for Memphis, or 36 for the Delta, with, at the end, only 19 of unknown provenance. The chapter on Memphis notably presents the demotic parts of the stelae of the High Priests of Memphis, among which several are exceptionally long and renowned for their varied contents. In addition to all this there is also a sizeable chapter with 42 Serapeum stelae, even two previously unpublished ones. The small reproductions of the stelae collected towards the end of the volume provide a vivid illustration of the varying styles of all these different cultural centres. The second part of the volume presents Addenda to the first three volumes of Short Texts, covering some 200 more pages of text. These show what almost a full decade of Demotic Studies may produce in the fields of, e.g., mummy linen and graffiti. Among these are also nearly fifty pages with mummy labels including three previously unpublished ones, over ten published since our last volume, and notably thirty-eight labels from the Louvre, some published by Revillout as far back as the nineteenth century. We had left these out of our vol. II in view of the proposed Louvre Catalogue that was then expected to appear, but we now think they ought to be made readily accessible side by side with the other published mummy labels that we have gathered in these volumes from however Many Publications.
The two faces of Graeco-Roman Egypt /
:
On May 1st, 1998 Professor P.W.Pestman retired from academic teaching. His contributions to the field of papyrology are well known: he has continually stressed the importance of Egyptian sources for the study of Greek and Roman Egypt, and the importance of studying the Greek and Egyptian documentation together, in context. Indeed, he has been among the first to link the formerly separate Greek and Egyptian documentation, establishing modern papyrological practice. He has thus given an Egyptian face to Graeco-Roman society, to complement the Greek face that had previously dominated papyrology. The present volume contains twelve contributions by members and alumni of the Papyrologisch Instituut that illustrate the two faces of Graeco-Roman Egypt and show how they may be tied together.
