Greek Inscriptions on the East Bank
For the first time, this book presents the complete collection of Greek
inscriptions of Gebel el-Silsila East – Ancient Egypt’s largest and most
important sandstone quarry, including lists of names and professions of
individuals involved in the quarry expeditions. The inscriptions are
described, illustrated and analysed and placed within their
archaeological context based on careful documentation in situ
with up-to-date methodology. The work makes substantial contributions in
the form of novel and improved readings and interpretations of known
texts and of the new publication of texts discovered through the
fieldwork. It is the first volume of three dealing with Graeco-Roman
inscriptions on the east bank, with the following two volumes to cover
the demotic texts and quarry marks respectively.
