count of his-Trave!s into Egypt, nworlc which is
nearly ready for publiCation. •We 'understand
that M: lATRONNE has. restored and translated
this inscription, which was reads with an histori-
cal and critical Memoir on the subject 'by:that
gentleman at of the laie Meetings of the
Academy of 13e11es Lettresrrt` Paris; The in-
scription contains a petition- .or the Priests of
Isis, in the
.Isle of Phase, addreSsed to Pzow
EVERGETES IL which is .couched in the
following terms, according to the literal version
of M. LETRONNE .

C° To King nolcmy, to qttaen Cleopatra: his sister (I), to
Queen' (.:1-"eopatra 111. Wife (2), Clods Evergete,s, health :
" Priests of Isis, worshipped in Abatuth (3), and at
Pilate, a most powerful Goddess; ; • •
". Considering that the Strateges (4); the Epistates (5), the,
Theharques (f)),. the Royal Registrars (7),lhe Commanders ni
cort-sltppointed to guard the frontierS, and all the other Royal
()tlicers".,rihO—ciaine to Philce ; la.4tly, the iroopS which ac,
company them, and the rest Of their followers, oblige us to
tarnish them with large supplies out of the funds of the temple;
from which causes the temple is imlx.)Verislied, and we run the
risk of :being soon deprived-of the nNuis- to defray the 00,
bled. and indispenSible capenceS which must be incurred in the
perfOrManee of ceremonies and libations fur the salvation of
yourselves and your children s
". We beseech you, most' puissant Gods, to be pleased to.'
_direct 'ANTolenilis, your kinsman (7), and,apistolographer (a),
to Write to LoclitS, your kinSman and strategos of the Theban,
19), not to dititress us in this manner, nor to permit any other
person whatsoever to do so ; to deliver to us, moreover, docu-
ments containing instructions to this effect, in which shall be
inserted also it license authorizing 'us to erect a vete (10),
.on
which we.will inscribe this act of beneficence on your part to,
words us, in Order that this stele may
..transmit to the latest
posterity the eternal record of the service you haVe conferred
-on Us.. •`

". This boing granteti, we shall he, we dncl the Temple cc
Isis,- in tills as in all things, yourintich gbligetl.. We wish
you all happiness."'

Accortiing to the remarks contained in the Me-
moir of:lll:l,ErnoNxn, the date of the petition
ought to be posterior 'to the yearl26before. oar
sera. This Metooir is designed to point out acid
plain ditiers peculiarities of language in the GrGreet;ec
text, to Indicate the customs to which seiriTal
passages.of this petition relate, and • to detluc'e
from them some ideas -of the -condition to which
the otder of priests was reduced during the doriai-
nation of the PTOLEMIES.

.As to the advantages which are anticipated by
Some, from the. comparison of the Greek text
engraved on the pedestal, with the bierogly.
Pliics carved on the obelisk itself, M. La:-
MONNE by no means participates in the ex-
pectations entertained on this subject. It seems
to him, both from the meaning and the object of
the Greek inscription, that if . the obelisk is a.
more antient monument, the priests of Isis would.
have erected a new one ; consequently that if the
hieroglyphics which . cover it were really carved
on this occasion, an hypothesis:which seems most
probable, these. hieroglyphics are intended to re-
cord, agreeably to the terms of the Greek text,
the gratitude of the priests towards the princes,
and not a, second copy, in the sacred language, of
the petition inscribed on the pedestal.

(1) The widow and sister of Ptolemy Philometer, afterwards
wife of Ptolemy Evergetes his brother, and reptieliateel by him.
(2) Daughter of the first mentioned Cleopatra andpf Ptolemy
Philometer, Who afterivards wai.the wife of Ptolemy .Eyergetes,
