27483their mail of bronze; and an Egyptian came into the
27484marsh country and brought news to Psammetichus
27485(for he had never before seen mailed men) that men
27486of bronze were come from the sea and were foraging
27487in the plain.
27488Psammetichus saw in this the fulfil-
27489ment of the oracle;
27490he made
27491friends
27492with the
27493Ionians and Carians, and promised them great re-
27494wards if they would join him, and having won them,
27495with the aid of such Egyptians as consented and
27496these allies he deposed the eleven kings.
27497153. Having made himself master of all Egypt,
27498he made the southern outercourt
27499of Hephaestus’
27500temple at Memphis, and built over against this a
27501court for Apis, where Apis is kept and fed whenever
27502he appears; this court has an inner colonnade all
27503round it and many carved figures; the roof is held
27504up by great statues twelve cubits high for pillars.
27505Apis is in the Greek language Epaphus.
27506154. The Ionians and Carians who
27507had _ helped
27508him to conquer were given by Psammetichus places
27509to dwell in called The Camps, opposite to each other
27510on either side of the Nile ; and besides this he paid
27511them all that he had promised.
27512Moreover he put
27513Egyptian boysin their hands to be taught the Greek
27514tongue ; these, learning Greek, were the ancestors
27515of the Egyptian
27516interpreters.
27517The
27518Ionians
27519and
27520Carians dwelt a long time in these places, which are
27521near the sea, on the arm
27522of the Nile called the
27523Pelusian, a little way below the town of Bubastis.

27568Long afterwards, king Amasis removed them thence
27569and
27570settled them
27571at Memphis, to
27572be his guard
27573against the Egyptians.
27574It comes of our intercourse
27575with these settlers in Egypt (who were
27576the
27577first
27578men of alien speech to settle in that country) that
27579we Greeks have exact knowledge of the history of
27580Egypt from the reign of Psammetichus onwards.
27581There still remained
27582till my time, in the places
27583whence the Jonians and Carians were removed, the
27584landing engines!
27585of their ships and the ruins of
27586their houses.
27587155.
27588This is the story of Psammetichus’
27589con-
27590quest of Egypt.
27591I have often made mention of the
27592Egyptian oracle, and I will now treat fully of it,
27593for this it deserves.
27594This Egyptian oracle is in a
27595temple sacred to Leto, and is situated in a great
27596city by the Sebennytic arm of the Nile, on the way
27597up from the sea.
27598The name of the city where is this
27599oracle is Buto; I have already named it.
27600In Buto
27601there is a temple of Apollo and Artemis.
27602The
27603shrine of Leto in which is the oracle is itself very
27604great, and its outer court is ten fathoms high.
27605But I
27606will now tell of what was the most marvellous among
27607things visible there: in this precinct is the shrine
27608of Leto, whereof the height and length of the walls
27609is all made of a single stone slab; each wall has an
27610equal length
27611and
27612height, namely,
27613forty cubits.
27614Another slab makes the surface
27615of the roof, the
27616cornice of which is four cubits broad.
276171 Probably capstans for hauling the ships ashore.

27673156. Thus then the shrine is the most marvellous
27674of all things that I saw
27675in this temple; but of
27676things of lesser note, the most wondrous
27677is the
27678island called Chemmis.
27679This lies in a deep and
27680wide lake near
27681to the temple at Buto, and the
27682Egyptians say that it floats.
27683For myself I never
27684saw it float, nor move
27685at all, and I thought it a
27686marvellous tale, that an
27687island
27688should truly float.
27689However that be, there is a great shrine of Apollo
27690thereon, and three altars stand there ; many palm
27691trees grow in the island, and other trees too, some
27692yielding fruit and some not.
27693The story told by the
27694Egyptians
27695to show why the island moves is this:
27696when Typhon came seeking through the world for
27697the son of Osiris, Leto, being one of the eight earliest
27698gods, and dwelling in Buto where this oracle of hers
27699is, received Apollo in charge from Isis and hid him
27700for safety in this island which was before immovable
27701but is now said to float.
27702Apollo and Artemis were
27703(they say) children of Dionysus and Isis, and Leto
27704was made their nurse and preserver; in Egyptian,
27705Apollo is Horus, Demeter Isis, Artemis Bubastis.
27706It
27707was from this and no other legend that Aeschylus
27708son of Euphorion stole an imagination, which is in
27709no other poet, that Artemis was the daughter of
27710Demeter.
27711For
27712the
27713aforesaid
27714reason
27715(say the
27716Egyptians) the island was made to float
27717Such is
27718the tale.

27767it.
27768Azotus held out against a siege longer than any
27769city of which I have heard.
27770158. Psammetichus had a son Necos, who became
27771king of Egypt.
27772It was he who began the making
27773of the canal into the Red Sea,! which was finished
27774by Darius the Persian.
27775This is four days’ voyage in
27776length, and it was dug wide enough for two triremes
27777to move in it rowed abreast.
27778It is fed by the Nile,
27779and is carried from a little above Bubastis by the
27780Arabian town of Patumus; it issues into the Red Sea.
27781The beginning of the digging was in the part of the
27782Egyptian plain which is nearest to Arabia; the moun-
27783tains that extend to Memphis (in which mountains are
27784the stone quarries) come close to this plain ; the canal
27785is led along the lower slope of these mountains in a
27786long reach from west to east; passing then into a
27787ravine it bears southward out of the hill country
27788towards the Arabian Gulf.
27789Now the shortest and
27790most direct passage from the northern to the south-
27791ern or Red Sea is from the Casian promontory, which
27792is the boundary between Egypt and Syria, to the
27793Arabian Gulf, and this is a distance of one thousand
27794furlongs, neither more nor less; this is the most
27795direct way, but the canal is by much longer, inasmuch
27796as it is more crooked.
27797In Necos’ reign a hundred
27798and twenty thousand Egyptians perished in the dig-
27799ging of it.
27800During the course of excavations, Necos
27801ceased from the work, being stayed by a prophetic
278021 This canal ran from near Tel Basta (Bubastis) apparently
27803to Suez.
27804Inscriptions recording Darius’ construction of it
27805have been found in the neighbourhood,

27858159, Necos then ceased from making the canal
27859and engaged rather in warlike preparation ; some of
27860his ships of war were built on the northern sea, and
27861some in the Arabian Gulf, by the Red Sea coast: the

27863still to be seen.

27868He sent to Branchidae of Miletus and

27870there to Apollo the garments in which he won these
27871victories.
27872Presently he died after a reign of sixteen
27873years, and his son Psammis reigned in his stead.
27874100. While this Psammis was king of Egypt he was
27875visited by ambassadors from Elis, the Eleans boast-
27876ing that they had ordered the Olympic games with
27877ἘΠ the justice and fairness in the world, Bad claim-
27878ing that even the Egyptians, albeit the wisest of all
27879men, could not better it.
27880W fen the EKleans came to
27881Egypt and told the purpose of their coming, Psammis
27882summoned an assembly of those who were
27883said to
27884be the wisest men in Egy pt.
27885These assembled, and
27886inquired of the Eleans,
27887who told them of the rules
27888of the games which they must obey, and, having de-
27889clared Thies
27890said
27891they had

27894Egvptians could invent any juster way they might

27896The Egyptians consulted together,
27897and then asked the Eleans if their own townsmen
27898took part in the contests.
27899The Eleans answered
27900that this was so: all Greeks from Elis or elsewhere

27947might contend.
27948Then the Egyptians said that this
27949rule was wholly wide of justice:
27950“ For,” said they,
27951“it cannot be but that you will favour your own
27952townsmen in the contest
27953and deal
27954unfairly by a
27955stranger.
27956Nay, if you will indeed make just rules
27957and have therefore come to Egypt, you should admit
27958only strangers
27959to the
27960contest, and not
27961Eleans.”
27962Such was the counsel
27963of the Egyptians
27964to the
27965Eleans.
27966161. Psammis reigned over Egypt for six years
27967only ; he invaded Ethiopia, and immediately there-
27968after died, and Apries! his son reigned in his stead.
27969He was more fortunate than any former king (save
27970only his great-grandfather Psammetichus) during his
27971rule of twenty-five years, in which he sent an army
27972against Sidon and did battle by sea with the king of
27973Tyre.
27974But when it was fated that ill should befail
27975him, the cause of it was one that I will now deal
27976with briefly, and at greater length
27977in the Libyan
27978part of this history.
27979Apries sent a great host against
27980Cyrene and suffered a great defeat.
27981The Egyptians
27982blamed him for this and rebelled against him; for
27983they thought that Apries had knowingly sent his
27984men to their doom, that by their so perishing he
27985might be the safer in his rule over the rest of the
27986Egyptians.
27987Bitterly angered by this, those who re-
27988turned home and the friends of the slain openly
27989revolted.
27990162. Hearing of this, Apries sent Amasis to them
27991to persuade them from their purpose.
27992When Amasis
27993came up with the Egyptians he exhorted them to
279941 Apries is the Hophra of O.T.: he reigned from 589 to
27995570 B.c., apparently.
27996But the statement that he attacked
27997Tyre and Sidon is inconsistent with Jewish history (Jerem.
27998XXvil., Mzek. xvil.).

28043desist from what they did; but while he spoke an
28044Egyptian came behind him and put a helmet on his
28045head, saying it was the token of royalty. And Amasis
28046showed that this was not displeasing to him, for being
28047made king by the rebel Egyptians he prepared to
28048march against Apries.
28049When Apries heard of it, he
28050sent against Amasis an esteemed Egyptian named
28051Patarbemis, one of his own court, charging him to
28052take the rebel alive and bring him into his presence.
28053Patarbemis came, and summoned Amasis, who lifted
28054his leg with an unseemly gesture (being then on
28055horseback) and bade the messenger take that token
28056back to Apries.
28057But when Patarbemis was never-
28058theless instant that Amasis should obey the king’s
28059summons and go to him—such is the story—Amasis
28060answered that he had long been making ready to do
28061this, and Apries should be well satisfied with him: “For
28062I will come myself,’ quoth he, “and bring others with
28063me.”
28064Hearing this, Patarbemis could not mistake
28065Amasis’ purpose; he saw his preparations and made
28066haste to depart, that he might with all speed make
28067known to the king what was «foot. When Apries saw
28068him return without Amasis he gave him no chance
28069to speak, but in his rage and fury bade cut off Patar-
28070bemis’ ears and nose.
28071The rest of the Egyptians,
28072who still favoured his cause, seeing the foul despite
28073thus done to the man who was most esteemed among
28074them, changed sides without more ado and delivered
28075themselves over to Amasis.

28135armed his guard and marched against the Egyptians ;
28136he had a bodyguard of Carians and Ionians, thirty
28137thousand of them, and his royal dwelling was in the
28138city of Sais, a great and marvellous palace.
28139Apries’
28140men marched against the Egyptians, and so did
28141Amasis’ men against the strangers;
28142so they came
28143both to Momemphis, where it was their purpose to
28144prove each other's quality.
28145164. The Egyptians are divided into seven classes,
28146severally entitled priests, warriors, cowherds, swine-
28147herds, hucksters, interpreters, and pilots.
28148So many
28149classes there are, each named after its vocation.
28150The
28151warriors are divided into Kalasiries and Hermotubies,
28152and they belong to the following provinces (for all
28153divisions in Egypt are made according to provinces).
28154165. The Hermotubies
28155are
28156of the provinces of
28157Busiris, Sais, Chemmis, and Papremis, the island
28158called Prosopitis, and half of Natho—all of these;
28159their number, at its greatest, attained to a hundred
28160and sixty thousand.
28161None of these has learnt any
28162common trade; they are free to follow arms alone.
28163166. The
28164Kalasiries
28165for their part are of the
28166provinces
28167of Thebes,
28168Bubastis,
28169Aphthis,
28170Tanis,
28171Mendes, Sebennys, Athribis, Pharbaithis, Thmuis,
28172Onuphis, Anytis, Myecphoris (this last is in an island
28173over against the city of Bubastis)—all these; their
28174number, at its greatest, attained to two hundred
28175and fifty thousand men.

28216no trade but only war, which is their hereditary
28217calling.
28218167. Now whether this
28219separation,
28220like
28221other
28222customs, has come to Greece from Egypt, I cannot
28223exactly judge.
28224I know that in Thrace and Scythia
28225and Persia and Lydia and nearly all foreign countries
28226those who learn trades and their descendants are
28227held in less esteem than the rest of the people, and
28228those who have nothing to do with artisans’ work,
28229especially men who are free to practise the art of
28230war, are highly honoured.
28231Thus much is certain, that
28232this opinion, which is held by all Greeks and chiefly
28233by the Lacedaemonians, is of foreign origin.
28234It is in
28235Corinth that artisans are held in least contempt.
28236168. The warriors were the only Egyptians, except
28237the priests, who had special privileges: for each of
28238them there was set apart an untaxed plot of twelve
28239acres.
28240This acre is a square of a hundred Egyptian
28241cubits each «ay, the Egyptian cubit being equal to
28242the Samia:.
28243These lands were set apart for all;
28244it was never the same men whocultivated them, but
28245each in turn.!
28246A thousand Kalasiries and as many
28247Hermotubies were the king’s annual bodyguard.
28248These men, besides their lands, received each a daily
28249provision of five minae’s weight of roast grain, two
28250minae of beef, and four cups of wine.
28251These were
28252the gifts received by each bodyguard.
28253169. When Apries with his guards and Amasis
28254with the whole force of Egyptians came to the town
28255of Momemphis, they joined battle; and though the
28256foreigners fought well, they were by much the fewer,
28257and
28258therefore
28259were
28260worsted.
28261Apries, they
28262say,
282631 That is, each twelve-acre plot was cultivated by a new
28264occupier every year.

28316supposed that not even a god could depose him from
28317his throne ; so firmly he thought he was established ;
28318and now being worsted in battle and taken captive
28319he was brought to Sais, to the royal dwelling which
28320belonged once to him but now to Amasis.
28321There
28322he was sustained for a while in the palace, and well
28323entreated by Amasis.
28324But presently the Egyptians
28325complained that there was no justice in allowing one
28326who was their own and their king’s bitterest enemy
28327to live; whereupon Amasis gave Apries up to them,
28328and they strangled him and then buried him in the
28329burial-place of his fathers.
28330‘This is in the temple of
28331Athene, very near to the sanctuary, on the left of the
28332entrance.
28333The people of Sais buried within the
28334temple precinct all kings who were natives of their
28335province.
28336The tomb of Amasis is farther from the
28337sanctuary than the tomb of Apries and his ancestors ;
28338yet it also is within the temple court; it is a great
28339colonnade of stone, richly adorned, the pillars whereof
28340are wrought in the form of palm trees.
28341In this
28342colonnade are two portals, and the place where the
28343coffin lies is within their doors.
28344170. There is also at Sais the burial-place of him
28345whose name 1 deem it forbidden to utter in speaking
28346of such a matter; it is in the temple of Athene,
28347behind and close to the whole length of the wall of
28348the shrine.
28349Moreover great stone obelisks stand in
28350the precinct; and there is a lake hard by, adorned
28351with a stone margin and wrought to a complete
28352circle; it is, as it seemed to me, of the bigness of the
28353lake at Delos which they call the Round Pond.

28411171. On this lake they enact by night the story
28412of the god’s sufferings, a rite which the Egyptians
28413call the Mysteries.
28414I could speak more exactly of
28415these matters, for I know the truth, but I will hold
28416my peace ; nor will I say aught concerning that rite
28417of Demeter which the Greeks call Thesmophoria,1
28418saving such part of it as I am not forbidden
28419to
28420mention.
28421It was the daughters of Danaus who
28422brought this rite out of Egypt and taught it to the
28423Pelasgian women;
28424afterwards, when the people of
28425Peloponnesus were driven out by the Dorians, it was
28426lost, except in so
28427far as it was preserved by the
28428Arcadians alone, the Peloponnesian nation that was
28429not driven out but left in its home.
28430172. Apries being thus deposed, Amasis became
28431king ; he was of a town called Siuph in the province
28432of Sais.
28433Now at first he was contemned and held in
28434but little regard by the Egyptians, as having been
28435but a common man and
28436of no high family; but
28437presently he won them to him by being cunning and
28438not arrogant.
28439He had among his countless treasures
28440a golden foot-bath, in which he and all those who
28441feasted with him were ever wont to wash their feet.
28442This he broke in pieces and made thereof a god’s
28443image, which he set in the most fitting place in the
28444city ; and the Egyptians came ever and anon to this
28445image and held it in great reverence.
28446When Amasis
28447knew
28448what
28449the
28450townsmen
28451did,
28452he
28453called
28454the
28455Egyptians together and told them that the image
28456had been made out of the foot-bath ; once (said he)

28511his subjects had washed their feet in it and put it
28512to yet viler uses ; now they greatly revered it. “So
28513πον (quoth he to them) “it has fared with me as
28514with the foot-bath ; once I was
28515a common man, now
28516I am your king; it is your duty to honour me and
28517hold me in regard.”
28518173. In this manner
28519he won the Egyptians
28520to
28521consent to be his slaves ; and this is how he ordered
28522his affairs:
28523in the morning,
28524till the filling of the
28525market place, he wrought zealously at such business
28526as came before him; the rest of the day he spent in
28527drinking and jesting with his boon companions in
28528idle
28529and
28530sportive mood.
28531But this displeased his
28532friends, who thus admonished him: “O King, you
28533are ill guided so to demean yourseif. We would have
28534you sit aloft on a throne of pride all day doing your
28535business ; thus would the Egyptians know that they
28536have a great man for their ruler, and you would have
28537the better name among them;
28538but now your be-
28539haviour is nowise royal.”
28540“ Nay,’ Amasis answered
28541them, “men that have bows bend them at need
28542only ; were bows kept for ever
28543bent they would
28544break, and so would be of no avail when they were
28545needed.
28546Such too is the nature of men.
28547Were they
28548to be ever at serious work nor permit themselves a
28549fair share of sport they would go mad or silly ere
28550they knew it; I am well aware of that, and give
28551each of the two its turn.”
28552Such was his answer to
28553his friends.

28771their possessions, would bring him to whatever place
28772of divination was nearest them; and the oracles often
28773declared him guilty and often acquitted him.
28774When
28775he became king, he took no care of the shrines of
28776the gods who had acquitted him of theft, nor gave
28777them aught for maintenance, nor made it his prac-
28778tice to sacrifice there, for he deemed them to be
28779worthless and their oracles to be false ; but he tended
28780with all care the gods who had declared his guilt,
28781holding them to be gods in very truth and their
28782oracles infallible.
28783175. Amasis made a marvellous outer court for
28784the temple of Athene ? at Sais, surpassing, in height
28785and grandeur, and in the size and splendour of the
28786stones, all who had erected such buildings; moreover,
28787he
28788set
28789up huge
28790images
28791and
28792vast
28793man-headed
28794sphinxes,? and brought enormous blocks of stone
28795besides for the building.
28796Some of these he brought
28797from
28798the
28799stone quarries
28800of Memphis;
28801those
28802of
28803greatest size came from the city Elephantine,? distant
28804twenty days’ journey by river from Sais.
28805But let
28806me now tell of what I hold the most marvellous of
28807his works.
28808He brought from Elephantine a shrine
28809made of one single block of stone; three years it
288101 Apparently, Nit; also identified with Demeter (132,
28811note).
288122 Visitors to Karnak will remember the double row of
28813sphinxes leading to the temple.

28815always been famous.

28972was in the bringing, and two thousand men were
28973charged with the carriage of it, pilots all of them.
28974This chamber measures in outer length twenty-one
28975cubits, in breadth fourteen, in height eight.
28976These
28977are the outer measurements of the chamber which is
28978made of one block; its inner length is of eighteen
28979cubits and four-fifths of a cubit, and its height of
28980five cubits.
28981It lies by the entrance of the temple;
28982the reason why it was not dragged within into the
28983temple was (so they say), that while it was being
28984drawn the chief builder groaned aloud for the much
28985time
28986spent
28987and his weariness
28988of the work, and
28989Amasis taking this to heart would not suffer it to
28990be drawn further.
28991Some again say that a man, one
28992of them that heaved up the shrine, was crushed by
28993it, and therefore it was not dragged within.
28994176. Moreover Amasis dedicated, besides monu-
28995ments of marvellous size in all the other temples
28996of note, the huge image that lies supine before
28997Hephaestus’
28998temple
28999at Memphis;
29000this image is
29001seventy-five feet in length ; there stand on the same
29002base, on either side of the great image, two huge
29003statues hewn from the same block, each of them
29004twenty feet high.
29005There is at Sais another stone
29006figure of like bigness, lying as lies the figure at
29007Memphis.
29008It was Amasis, too, who built the great
29009and most marvellous temple of Isis at Memphis.
29010177. It is said that in the reign of Amasis Egypt
29011attained to its greatest prosperity, in respect of what

29069the river did for the land and the land for its people :
29070and that the whole sum of inhabited cities in the
29071country was twenty thousand.
29072It was Amasis also
29073who made the law that every Egyptian should yearly
29074declare his means of livelihood to the ruler of his
29075province, and, failing so to do or to prove that he had
29076a just way of life, be punished with death.
29077Solon
29078the Athenian got this law from Egypt and established
29079it among his people ; may they ever keep it! for it is
29080a perfect law.
29081178. Amasis became a lover of the Greeks, and
29082besides other services which he did to some of them
29083he gave those who came
29084to Egypt the
29085city of
29086Naucratis to dwell
29087in, and to those who voyaged
29088to the country without desire to settle there he gave
29089lands where they might set altars and make holy
29090places for their gods.
29091Of these the greatest and
29092most famous and most visited precinct is that which
29093is called the Hellenion, founded jointly by the Ionian
29094cities of Chios, Teos, Phocaea, and Clazomenae, the
29095Dorian cities of Rhodes, Cnidus, Halicarnassus, and
29096Phaselis, and one Aeolian city, Mytilene.
29097It is to
29098these that the precinct belongs, and these are they
29099that appoint wardens of the port; if any others claim
29100rights therein they lay claim to that wherein they
29101have no part or lot.
29102The Aeginetans made a precinct
29103of their own, sacred to Zeus; and so did the Samians
29104for Here and the Milesians for Apollo.
29105179. Naucratis was in old time the only trading
29106port in Egypt.

29150ship and sail to the Canobic mouth; or, if he could
29151not sail against contrary winds, he must carry his
29152cargo in barges round the Delta till he came to

29154In such honour was Naucratis held.
29155180. When the Amphictyons had contracted for
29156three hundred talents the work of finishing the
29157temple that now stands at Delphi (that which was
29158formerly there having been burnt by pure mischance),
29159it fell to the Delphians to provide a fourth part of
29160the cost.
29161They went about from city to city collect-
29162ing gifts, and in this business they got most from
29163Egypt; for Amasis gave them a thousand talents’
29164weight of astringent earth,! and the Greek dwellers
29165in Egypt twenty minae.
29166181. Amasis made friends and allies of the people
29167of Cyrene.
29168Moreover he thought fit to take himself
29169a wife from thence ; whether it was that he desired
29170a Greek woman, or that he had other cause
29171for
29172winning the friendship of Cyrene, I know not; but
29173he married one Ladice, said to be the daughter of
29174Battus by some, of Arcesilaus by others, and by
29175others again of Critobulus, an esteemed citizen of
29176the place.
29177But it so fell out that Ladice was the
29178only woman with whom Amasis could not have inter-
29179course; and this continuing, Amasis said to this
29180Ladice, “ Woman, you have cast a spell on me, and
29181most assuredly you shall come to the most terrible
29182end of all women.”
29183So, the king’s anger not abating
29184for all her denial, Ladice vowed in her heart to
291852 Alum, apparently.

29227Cambyses,
29228when he had conquered Egypt and learnt who Ladice
29229was, sent her away to Cyrene unharmed.
29230182. Moreover
29231Amasis
29232dedicated
29233offerings
29234in
29235Hellas.
29236He gave to Cyrene a gilt image of Athene
29237and a painted picture of himself, to Athene of Lindus
29238two stone images and a marvellous linen breast-plate,
29239and to Here in Samos two wooden statues of himself,
29240which stood yet in my time behind the dooys in the
29241great shrine.
29242The offerings in Samos were dedicated
29243by reason of the friendship between Amasis and
29244Polycrates! son of Aeaces; what he gave to Lindus
29245was for no friendship with any man, but because it
29246is said that the temple of Athene in Lindus
29247was
29248founded by the daughters of Danaus, when they
29249landed there in their flight from the sons of Egyptus.
29250Such were Amasis’ offerings.
29251Moreover he was the
29252first conqueror of Cyprus, which he made tributary
29253to himself.
292541 Polycrates’ rule began probably in 532 B.c.
29255For the
29256friendship between him and Amasis, see iii. 39

Provenance

Full provenance, licence and citation: part 1.

What the layers are

L0 witness
The text as its witness or edition has it, original spelling; its dialect is a description and is never standardized.
L0.5 transliteration
For Egyptian texts: the transliteration with the editors' marks turned into the symbols ° * < > _ ^ (ruled 2026-09-10). For papyri: the edition's Leiden marks as the same symbols, and the editors' readings beside the scribe's as ‹scribe→editors› (ruled PAP-3).
L1 Cairene
Standardized Greco-Bohairic spelling and grammar, generated by code from the layer above under the rulings of the project.
L2 Kemetic
The Kemetic alphabet, generated by code from L1.
English
Quoted translations where they exist, credited; otherwise model drafts, marked as drafts.
