Demotische Epigraphik aus Dandara : Die Demotischen Grabstelen

While excavating the necropolis of Dandara at the end of the 19th century, W. M. F. Petrie found several tomb stelae with demotic inscriptions. A few other funerary stelae appeared form some later excavations.These objects are now spread worldwide over several museums and collections. Some appeared in museum catalogues, but most of them are mentioned only in Petrie's publication from the year 1900. This publication collects for the first time all known demotic tombs stelae from the necropolis of Dandara. Fields of interest are the iconography as well as the classification of the inscriptions. All texts are, often for the first time, completely translated and commented. The stelae can be dated to the Early Roman Period.This manuscript was prepared duing the author's reserarch in the Cologne/ Leuven project "Multilingualism and Multiculturalism in Graeco-Roman Egypt" concerning the epigraphic records in demotic language.
