1 For this short form see E. Lüddeckens et al., Demotisches Namenbuch, Wiesbaden 1980-2000, 664 – 666 nos. 46, 48, 53 – 60. The second part mt was written wit the Demotic numeral “10”, Coptic Ⲙⲏⲧ. 2 For the Roman form of ḥḏ cf. also Wångstedt, in OrSu 31-32 (1982-83), 25 Kat. XV. 3 This should be a Greek male name whose interpretation is unclear. Thus a name was not mentioned in E. Lüddeckens et al., Demotisches Namenbuch, Wiesbaden 1980-2000. 4 For the Roman form of ḥḏ cf. also Wångstedt, in OrSu 31-32 (1982-83), 25 Kat. XV. 5 Thus a name was not mentioned in E. Lüddeckens et al., Demotisches Namenbuch, Wiesbaden 1980-2000, but presumably this is a Demotic variant of the (rarely attested) name Ἀγενις / Agenis (Trismegistos name id 1776). Cf. also the late Ptolemaic name ꜥgn (KAPLONY-HECKEL, URSULA, 1963. Die demotischen Tempeleide. Ägyptologische Abhandlungen 6, Wiesbaden, no. 125:2). 6 For the Roman form of ḥḏ cf. also Wångstedt, in OrSu 31-32 (1982-83), 25 Kat. XV. 7 This line is entirely enigmatic. One would normally expect a total in the form like r qd 5 “yields 5 kite” or something similar. The first three lines may be read as r sttr 1.t, but this is definitely much too less as being the total of the above listed payments. The last two signs remain without any explanation. For comments on this part I am indebted to the participiants of the Demotic Summer School 2018 in Munich. |
