1 For the reading wrr contra ḥrr see Quack, J. F. 2002. „Beiträge zum Peripherdemotischen“, in: Bács, T.A. (ed), A Tribute to Excellence. Studies offered in Honor of Ernö Gaál, Ulrich Luft, László Török, Budapest, 393-403, here 397. 2 Cf. Pꜣ-ꜥ.wy-Twmy[///] as a variant for Pꜣ-ꜥ.wy-Tmstws, a gods name “the place of Themistos” regarding a settlement in the Arsinoite nome of the Fayum (CDD p, 12). 3 A demotic version of this name is currently not attested in Lüddeckens, Demotisches Namenbuch (1979-2000). This is an primarily Egyptian name which is used in Graecized version as Σαραπάμμον and as sarapammo/sarapmM etc. (www.trismegistos.org/name7971) In the current version, this Greek version was retransliterated alphabetically into Demotic again. |
