Deutsch: Letzte datierbare Hieroglyphen (von Esmet-Achom, 24. August 394 n. Chr.) an der inneren Nordwand des Hadriantors neben dem Tempel von Philae auf der Insel Agilkia, ehemals auf der Insel Philae, Ägypten
English: A crude drawing of the god Mandulis from Hadrian's Gate at Philae, accompanied by a hieroglyphic inscription (above right) and a demotic inscription (lower right). The hieroglyphic text is the last one written in ancient times, and its author had a weak grasp of the writing system. The demotic inscription reads: "I, Nesmeterakhem, the Scribe of the House of Writings (?) of Isis, son of Nesmeterpanakhet the Second Priest of Isis, and his mother Eseweret, I performed work on this figure of Mandulis for all time, because he is fair of face towards me. Today, the Birthday of Osiris, his dedication feast, year 110 [of the reign of Diocletian]." The date is thus 24 August, 394 AD/CE. The hieroglyphic text says: "Before Mandulis son of Horus, by the hand of Nesmeterakhem, son of Nesmeter, the Second Priest of Isis, for all time and eternity. Words spoken by Mandulis, Lord of the Abaton, great god." (Source: Richard Parkinson, Cracking Codes: The Rosetta Stone and Decipherment (1999), p. 178.) |
