The first in order of these tablets (H 70, 71, 74 A) was marked number 50 by Mr. Salt; it has seven stars at the edge of the wings overshadowing the figures. It is first dated very distinctly _In the year 6 of Cleopatra_; which ought to have [p314] been 6 _otherwise_ 2; but the second date was perhaps omitted after an interval of more than 20 years, which must have elapsed at the time of putting up the tablet, as the subsequent dates demonstrate. The queen seems to be styled _Isis_, but the name of the “younger goddess,” which is found on her medals, does not appear in these inscriptions. In the 4th line the word _Memphis_ occurs, though less distinctly than elsewhere. It seems to be formed of characters meaning _Temple_, and _Good_, and might naturally be read PHE-NUF; which agrees sufficiently well with the NOPH of Jeremiah, translated Memphis by the Septuagint, as well as with the Coptic PANUF, said to have been _Momemphis_. It is possible that Phthah may have been meant by the Good god, NUF; but there is here no character at all resembling the Enchorial name of Phthah, which approaches to that of a figure of 4. We next find a notice of the change of dynasty (Line 5) . . year 7: the _Gods Phre and “Horus” and Phthah? gave the victory to_ AUTOCRATOR CAESARIS _the Munificent_. The number 7 is indistinct; if correct it must belong to the later of the double dates of Cleopatra’s reign, which terminated the 22nd or 7th, the year of the Battle of Actium, in which the _victory_ was obtained by the _Emperor_ Augustus _Caesar_. Then follows a date of the _year_ 6, probably of Caesar: and the seven stars of the wings may possibly relate to the erection of the tablet in the subsequent year. We have also a donation of _gold and silver gems_. The second tablet (H 72, 73, 74 B) has first the date of the _year 19 of King Ptolemy_ [Auletes] the _Defender of the sacred rites_ (L. 3) . . _The year 4 of Cleopatra ‘Neotera?_ (4) . . _many years_ . . (5) The year 7? _the gods ‘Phre and Horus and Phthah? gave the victory to the Emperor Caesar_, ‘and Phthah and Horus who loved him gave the dominion all men to? _Caesar_. (6) . . _gold and gems and silver in abundance, gave them to the sanctuary of the great god in the temple of Memphis_ . . The year 7 of Caesar: ‘Mechir 18? gave to the sanctuary of the great god in . . (8) . . _gold and gems and silver_ . . (9) _Memphis_. We have here no subsequent year 19 to which the stars of the margin can refer: and it seems therefore most natural to [p315] suppose that they belong to the earliest date, with which the tablet commences: and perhaps the seven stars of the former may have been marked by mistake for six. The interpretation of the marginal stars will be easily brought to the test of future observations.
