Names Abu$Tr El-Malaq And SOME NOTES ON THE NAME OF SARAPIS GERARD MUSSIES (Utrecht) "In fact, Hellanicus seems to have heard Osiris pronounced YCIPIC by the priests, for in this way he always mentions the god ..." says Plutarch.! Is it too bold to conclude from this one­ word quotation, like a casual sherd embedded in foreign soil, that Hellanicus of Lesbos pronounced the ypsilon as in "book" ? It might almost seem that here we have definite proof of what has hitherto been considered only probable,2 for when the Egyptians themselves replaced their unvocalized writing systems by the Greek alphabet, when "Egyptian" in other words becomes" Coptic", they spelt the name of Isis' brother-husband, according to their dialect, either as OYCI pi (Lower Egypt) or as 0YCI pe (Upper Egypt). However, the initial vowel must have been pronounced so much like a closed o-sound that two spellings became possible in Greek: the god's name was regularly written 'OO'~p~c;, but on the other hand P(r)­ Wsirj or "House of Osiris", the name of several Egyptian towns, always appears as BouO'~p~c;, just as in Coptic: BOYCI pi or TTOYCIPI, which has been preserved to this day in the modern names AbU$tr el-Malaq and AbU .?tr Banii.3 In personal names derived from Osiris the spelling with -0- is also predominant, as for instance in the very frequent name rre:'t"OO'~p~c; "The one given by Osiris". But -ou- does occur, e.g. rrll(-rouO'~p~c;, a variant form of the same name, 'P'e:vouO'~p~c; "The son of Osiris", and Te:vouO'~p~c; "The daughter of Osiris". A similar uncertainty may be seen in trans- 1 De Is. et Os. 364d, ed. F. C. Barbitt, Loeb Classical Library, vol. V (1962), p. 83 and 85. 2 According to C. D. Buck, The Greek Dialects (Chicago, 1955), p. 28 this pronunciation is probable for most of the ancient dialects of Greek except Attic. Cf. E. Schwyzer, Griechische Grammatik, vol. I (Miinchen, 19684), vol. I, p. 181. 3 The Assyrian transcription Pusiru is ambiguous since "u" can also stand for "0"; d. H. Ranke, Keilschriftliches Material zur altiigyptischen Vokalisation, in AbhBerlin (1910), p. 49. 53 822 GERARD MUSSIES literations of the well-known compounds of the name of Osiris with that of a deceased person or sacred animal, which indicated their deification, but can according to context also be rendered more profanely by "the late X". So we have 'OcropO!lV€UL~, "Osiris of Mnevis" or "deceased Mnevis-bull"; 'O(J0p~OUX.L~ (as part of the personal name Ih't'ocrop~oux.L~), "Osiris of Buchis"; and so likewise 'Ocropiim~, "Osiris of Apis"; but also OucrOpOU~PL~, "Osiris the Great", alongside 'OcrOpO~pL~. For "House of Osorapis" one would perhaps expect Boucropiim~ on the analogy of BOUcrLPL~, but in the only passage where it occurs it so happens that we have IIo(J€piim.' When "Osorapis" in its turn becomes an element of compound personal names we may also find -ucropiim~ or -u(J(xpiim~, for instance in TlXucropiim~ and TlXucrlXpiim~ beside TlXocr€piim~ and even TlXcropii­ m~. Following a vowel these forms could have arisen either from TlXocropiim~ or from TlXoucropiim~, though we have not yet found the latter, and mutatis mutandis the same would be true of -U(JLPL~ in IIlXucrLpL~ and T o(UcrLPL~ "The one (masc. or fern.) of Osiris". We believe that these cases are different from vocalizations such as II€'t'ucr[pLo~ "The one given by Osiris" (IVth cent.), 'Y€VUPLO~ "The son of Horus" (VIIIth cent.), 'Y€VIX't'U!lL~ "The son of Atum" (A.D. I92). According to Hess 5 and implicitly Ranke 6 these variants would indicate that the ypsilon was still pronounced more or less as in "book" in Imperial Egypt, but in view of what is known about the phonetic development of this sound such a pronunciation does not seem very likely, though it would have been possible for such early transcriptions as YCIPIC above and, for instance, A'~yU7t't'o~ in Homer, which can be compared with the Middle-babylonian transcription Jjikuptal].. 7 Since in the Imperial period ypsilon had two rather different phonetic correlates, [yJ as in French "tu" with a tendency towards [i:J on the one hand, and [wJ with a tendency towards [v] on the other, it seems more logical to assume that in such names as II€'t'ucr[pLO~ we have a sound mor8 4 UPZ I, nr.

The haud- book of the Egyptian Religion seemed cspecially worthy of a wide circulation. It is a survey by the founder of the modern school of Egyptology in Germany, of perhaps tile most interest- ing of all the departments of this subject. The Egyptian religion appeals to some because of its endless variety of form, and the many phases of superstition and belief that it represents ; to others because of its early recognition of a high moral principle, its elaborate conceptions of a life aftcr death, and its connection with the development of Christianity; to others again no doubt because it explains pretty things dear to the collector of antiquities, and familiar objects in museums. Professor Erman is the first to present the Egyptian religion in historical perspective; and it is surely a merit in his worlc that out of his profound knowledge of the Egyptian texts, he permits them to tell their own tale almost in their own words, either by extracts or by summaries.

  • Egyptian Magic Publishers’ Note
    S.V. JBooftg on Bagpt anft Cbalfta?a VOL. II. EGYPTIAN MAGIC PUBLISHERS’ NOTE. In the year 1894 Dr. Wallis Budge prepared for Messrs. Kegan Paul, Trench, Triibner & Co. an elementary work on the Egyptian language, entitled “First Steps in Egyptian,” and two years later the companion volume, “ An Egyptian Reading Book,” with transliterations of all the texts printed in it, and a full vocabulary. I he success of these works proved that they had helped to satisfy a want long felt by students of the Egyptian language, and as a similar want existed among students of the languages written in the cuneiform character, Mr. L. W. King, of the British Museum, prepared, on the same lines as the two books mentioned above, an elementary work on the Assyrian and Babylonian languages (“First Steps in Assyrian”), which appeared in 1898. These works, however, dealt mainly with the philological branch of Egyptology and Assyriology, and it was impossible in the space allowed to explain much that needed explanation in the other branches of these subjects—that is to say, matters relating to the archaeology, history, religion, etc., of the Egyptians, Assyrians, and Babylonians. In answer to the numerous requests which have been made, a series of short, popular handbooks on the most important branches of Egyptology and Assyriology have been prepared, and it is hoped that these will serve as introductions to the larger works on these subjects. The present is the second volume of the series, and the succeeding volumes will be published at short intervals, and at moderate prices.

  • Egyptian Temples
    Originalveröffentlichung in: Christina Riggs (Hrsg.), The Oxford Handbook of Roman Egypt, Oxford 2012, S. 362-382 CHAPTER 22 EGYPTIAN TEMPLES MARTINA MINAS-NERPEL From the beginning of their rule in Egypt, the Ptolemies initiated a gigantic temple con­ struction and decoration programme, which the Roman emperors continued well into the second century ce. Temples were still decorated on a much smaller scale into the third and the beginning of the fourth centuries. The last known cartouche of a Roman emperor in a temple was inscribed under Maximinus Daia (305-13 ce) on blocks belonging to the temple of Horus at Tahta (Holbl 2000: 45 n. 177; 114, fig. 157). Otherwise, the latest evidence comes from Esna (Sauneron 1975:65-6, no. 495; 84-7, no. 503), where the temple of Khnum was still being decorated under Decius (249-51 ce). Stelae inscribed in hieroglyphs continued to be set up in Egyptian temples, for example in the Bucheum at Armant, of which the latest is dated to 340, the fifty-seventh year of the era of Diocletian (Holbl 2000:45 n. 178; Goldbrun- ner 2004:78-9,302). The temple of Isis at Philae, where hieroglyphs were carved in the tem­ ple of Harendotes as late as 394 (Winter 1982:1023), was the last to be kept open, being closed down under Justinian between 535 and 537 (Winter 1982:1026), when it was converted to a church (Dijkstra 2008). The Hellenistic and Roman periods of Egypt are often subsumed under the term ‘Graeco- Roman Egypt’. In his examination of Egyptian society under Ptolemaic and Roman rule, Naphtali Lewis (1970) correctly pointed out that this phrase should not be used to imply con­ tinuity between the two eras, since the changes in the governmental structure, social pat­ terns and politics, administration, and the economy were so fundamental in Roman times as to render the term misleading.

  • Augustus in Egypt. the Varying Images of the First Roman Emperor
    Christoph Klose, Lukas C. Bossert, William Leveritt (eds.) | Fresh Perspectives on Graeco-Roman Visual Culture. Proceedings of an International Conference at Humboldt-Universität, Berlin, 2nd–3rd September 2013 | 2015 | urn:nbn:de:kobv:11-100229177 Augustus: Caesar and god. Varying Images of the first Roman Emperor Jodie Martyndale-Howard The University of Nottingham hy is it that Rome’s first Emperor can be seen to adorn Egyptian artand architecture as Pharaoh throughout the province? How might the context W of such images help our understanding of the population make-up and rea- sons behind such portrayals? These are the questions I wish to answer through exploring the varying images of the first Roman emperor. Whenever Augustus is mentioned images of power such as the Prima Porta are first to come to our minds.1 As one of the most well-known Imperial statues it is often our first thought regarding portraits of the young, militarily successful leader of the Roman world. It is this image which has been seen throughout modern scholarship as the epitome of the traits Augustus wished his subjects to see, and therefore the one which resonates most strongly in our minds as the defining image of the emperor.2 Yet various scholars who address provincial images pay little or no attention to Egypt and the array of portrayals available.3 This may be because of the peculiar nature of Egypt: for some Classicists, it is Egyptologists who should be researching the images and wrestling with the complex iconographic system that had developed through centuries of Pharaonic and Ptolemaic rule; the other side believe it to be the remit of Classicists, who can use such images to understand how the province was ruled.

  • The Apis Cult from the New Kingdom to the Ptolemaic Period
    Institutionen för arkeologi och antik historia The Apis cult from the New Kingdom to the Ptolemaic Period Ida Kingo Fig. 1. Apis bull statuette. BA thesis 15 credits in Egyptology Spring term 2020 Supervisor: Andreas Dorn Abstract Kingo, I. 2020. The Apis cult from the New Kingdom to the Ptolemaic Period. Kingo, I. 2020. Apiskulten från det Nya Riket till den Ptolemaiska perioden. In this thesis the main goal is to present a general overview of the development of the cult of Apis in a chronological perspective from the New Kingdom until the end of the Ptolemaic Period, as this has not been done in a condensed form with the different aspects of the cult and the venerated animal present. Classical theories, such as those used in archaeology, is not very applicable for this thesis, instead it will address and connect several aspects such as time, geographical space, religion and ideology of kingship to the Apis cult. The Apis cult is interesting because it was one of the more important animal cults in ancient Egypt. The time period chosen is the c. 1500 years between the New Kingdom and the Ptolemaic Period, because it was during this time that the cult experienced the most developments and had its golden era. The Apis cult ties together several important aspects of the ancient Egyptian society; the political, religious, ideology of kingship and the cultural sphere. The cult of Apis was one strongly connected to the ruling power, one such example is during the Persian conquer by king Cambyses II in c. 526 B.C.E., when his role as the regent in Egypt was not seen as entirely legitimate by the Egyptians until he had participated in the burial ceremonies of the Apis bull.
