In continuation of the demotic votive inscriptions collected in
Short Texts Volume I, this volume brings together some 650 demotic
and Greek-demotic mummy labels. These are in principle all labels
published to date, but this number also contains some fifty
unpublished labels as well as some fifty of which only the Greek,
not the demotic side had been published previously. Of some
two-hundred labels from which the names had been excerpted for use
in our onomastic repertoria, the complete text is here published
for the first time. In order to enhance the usefulness of this
volume, also the demotic inscriptions on mummy linen, coffins,
mummy boards and mummy masks, as well as those on the containers of
mummified fauna and a number of small funerary papyri are included
in this volume, some 260 texts in all. Thus the funerary theme has
been treated fairly completely for the demotic texts, except for
the demotic funerary stelae which will make up a separate Short
Texts volume of their own.The volume is of course completed by
Concordances with previous editions and by full Word Indices. Five
Appendices treat of various textual, onomastic and palaeographic
problems chiefly concerning the mummy labels, which bring new
insights in these domains for the Roman period.
