This volume publishes 534 new Demotic graffiti recorded at the
temple of Isis on Philae Island, presented with drawings and
photographs. New editions of 101 of the graffiti that were
published by F. Griffith in his Catalogue of the Demotic Papyri in
the Dodecaschoenus (1937) are published here. These re-edited texts
were mainly chosen because new drawings provided significant new
readings from those made by Griffith, or they helped elucidate the
scope and meaning of some of the new graffiti by placement. The
volume also includes an essay interpreting the role of the graffiti
in understanding the political and religious activities at Philae
temple during the last centuries of worship of the goddess Isis,
mainly by Nubian priests and pilgrims.
