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date, but this number also contains some fifty unpublished labels as well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.
