Die Demotischen Stelen Aus Der Gegend Von Hussaniya / Tell Nebesheh

This paper deals with the demotic funerary stelae from the site of Tell Nebesheh, an area which was excavated by W. M. F. Petrie a century ago. At that time no demotic objects were found. The stelae published here are from later private finds or purchased on the antiquities market. They are translated and analysed anew, with special focus on the iconographic similarity between these stelae, which have hitherto not been commented on as a corpus. In addition a bibliography of all known Demotic epigraphic records from the Delta is given.
