His poetry is noted for its narrative powers, clarity, and lucidity. A number of Bacchylides' epinicia and dithyrambs were among the verses recovered from an Egyptian papyrus (text published by F. G. Kenyon, The Poems of Bacchylides, 1897).

"Bacchylides. The Poems and Fragments."

Cambridge, 1905. NO CATNYP!

(as per MSJ; Britannica)

(fl. 5th century BC), Greek lyric poet of the Aegean island of Ceos, nephew of the poet Simonides and a younger contemporary of the Boeotian poet Pindar, whom he rivaled in the composition of epinician poems (odes commissioned by victors at the major athletic festivals). Little was known of Bacchylides' work until the discovery in Egypt of papyrus fragments that reached the British Museum in 1896 and were published in the following year. Of the 21 poems wholly or partially restored, 14 are epinician odes and the remainder are dithyrambs (originally choric songs in honour of Dionysus

that became the subject of a choral competition at the Athenian festival of the Dionysia). Other fragments, supplemented by later papyrus finds, include passages from paeans (hymns in honour of Apollo and other gods) and encomiums (songs in honour of distinguished men, performed as part of an after-dinner entertainment).

A firm date is provided by Ode 5, an epinician ode written to celebrate the victory of Hieron I, ruler of Syracuse, in the horse race at the Olympian games of 476 BC. The poem implies that Bacchylides had already visited Syracuse before this date as a guest of Hieron, whose later victories in the Pythian horse race of 470 and the Olympian chariot race of 468 he celebrated in Odes 4 and 3, respectively. This brought him into direct competition with Pindar, who also celebrated two, if not all three, of these victories in Olympian i and Pythian i and ii. Pindar's uncomplimentary remarks about rival poets have been

taken as referring to Bacchylides and Simonides. Bacchylides' style is simpler, if less sublime, than Pindar's; he excels in narrative and in clarity of expression. Like Simonides, Bacchylides wrote dithyrambs for the Dionysian festival at Athens, notably the unique Ode 18, which is semidramatic, taking the form of a dialogue between Theseus' father, Aegeus, and an answering chorus of followers. Literary historians differ as to how this literary form is related to the development of the Attic drama.

BAKI:(AE; NK) Hieratic letter to farmer from Thebes’ Mayor

(As per EEF; J. Carrington)

See:

http://www.bbc.co.uk/history/ancient/egyptians/human_faces_transcript.shtml#mayor

“The Mayor of Thebes: Sennefer and his lazy tenant New Kingdom (1539-1075 BC):

The mayor of the southern capital Sennefer speaks to the tenant-farmer Baki son of Kyson to the following effect. This letter is brought to you to tell you that I am coming to see you when we moor at Hu in three days' time. Do not let me find fault with you in your duties. Do not fail to have things in perfect order. Also, pick for me many plants, lotuses and flowers, and others worth offering. Further, you are to cut 5000 boards and 200 timbers; then the BOAT that will bring me can carry them, since you have not cut any wood this year - understood? On no account be slack. If you are not able to cut them you should approach Woser, the mayor of Hu. Pay attention: the herdsman of Cusae and the cowherds who are under my authority, fetch them for yourself in order to cut the wood, along with the workmen who are with you. Also, you are to order the herdsmen to prepare milk in new jars in anticipation of my arrival - understood? You are not to slack, because I know that you are a wiwi, and fond of eating in bed.

The precise meaning of the Egyptian word wiwi is unknown, but it is clear that Sennefer thinks that his tenant is ineffectual in some way. Cusae and Hu were towns on the river to the north of Thebes. The letter was intended to dismay poor Baki, but he never read it. The letter was found still rolled up and sealed, as it was when it was sent more than thirty centuries ago.”

[My thoughts; this harsh tone is very similar to that found in the HEKANAKHTE letters]

Inside this opening, and held in place with asphalt, was a tube made of a copper sheet. The tube was sealed at the bottom with a copper disc held in place with more asphalt. Suspended from the asphalt lid was an iron rod which hung down inside the centre of the copper roll.

Re: the difference between sufficient temperatures in the making of faience and a blast furnace for iron. It

is more than just temperature.

Particularly in regards to wootz it can be a combination of temperature

and the addition of impurities such as nitrogen or zinc.

http://www.techfak.uni-kiel.de/matwis/amat/def_en/articles/wootz_advanced_material/wootz_steel_an_advanced_material_of_the_ancient_world.html

appears to be the formation of fullerenes [tempered steel]

(as per EEF; S. Whittet)

Re: nitriding.

This can be done quite accidently at low temperatures (bread oven)

by the addition of legumes and other organics that concentrate nitrates.

The result is a hard non brittle edge

While the above article mention temperatures that are higher

than might be expected from a bread oven operating without a bellows

(1000 10000[?] C in a sealed crucible) in making Damascus steel it was

common to use lower temperatures over a longer time with carbon

being added by the addition of organics that in some cases contained

traces of nitrates.

In a desert country its perfectly reasonable to expect that ovens would

be fueled by straw and beanstalks rather than chopped up trees.

Legumes fix nitrogen in nodules attached to their roots.

Re: 4th dynasty had only copper, since that was the only material of that period found in tools.

<snip>sophisticated tooling and tool bits sufficiently hard to core granite. The answer for that was

diamond-tipped saws and drills.

Not to digress but abrasives need not be diamond tipped. Simply running

a bitumen covered rope through sand produces a wire saw that will cut

all but the hardest stones.

The same thing applies to drill bits. Some cores do show a hard point

was used but allowing jeweled points represent a technology that

comes at a later date; some metal working technologies that developed

quite early such as the ability to make wootz, nitriding, and the addition

of zinc and or antimony to copper would have allowed for very hard

edges...

Re: use of that wood/charcoal in kilns to make fayence or iron.

In making charcoal if a nitrogen rich organic material was used

such as bean stalks or vines the result would be a hard edge

there is also the possibility that the ancient Egyptians copper

contained enough zinc to harden the edges of their tools

the accidental creation of fullerenes in an edge by temperature

variations that allowed a bloom to repeatedly melt and cool

would also have been possible.

BINGEN: (late Greek period in Egypt) papyrus

at the Egyptian Museum in Berlin (Staatliche).

(as per EEF) Recent analysis of P. Bingen 45 suggests Cleopatra VII herself scrawled one Greek word (genesthoi) which translates to "so be it" or "so it shall be done" on this papyrus which states that she has authorized that a powerful Roman ally of Marc Antony is free to import goods to Egypt without tax or tariff. This (33 BCE) papyrus was recovered from mummy cartonnage.

See this link to an image.

http://millennium.arts.kuleuven.ac.be/lhpc/collections_images/045_Bingen.jpg

See related links: http://www.discovery.com/news/briefs/20000928/hi_cleopatra.html

http://www.discoveringarchaeology.com/articles/122000-ceo.shtml

(as suggested by an EEF post)

Berolinensis 25 239 may also denote this same papyrus.

(as per EEF, M. Parsons)

According to the biography of Cleopatra VII by Michael Grant, Cleopatra Selene was not harmed after Octavian's victory. She was carried in the subsequent Triumphal parade in Rome, but was then given in marriage to the Numidian prince Juba II. They had a son, who succeeded Juba, but was executed by Caligula.

According to Grant's Notes, the Roman historian Dio recorded this in book; LI. Grant also says that Selene's likeness appears on Juba II's coinage, attested perhaps in Historia Numorum and in Bulletin d'archeologie marocaine IV.

(as per EEF, J. Habley)

After Cleopatra's death, her children with Marc Antony, Alexander Helios, Cleopatra Selene, and Ptolemy Philadelphus, were raised by Antony's widow, Octavia. Cleopatra Selene married Juba II and was queen of Mauretania.

There is an interesting presentation (in windows media) at

http://www.bible-history.com/cleoptra/

which is focused specifically on the children of Antony and Cleopatra. It goes into great detail on Cleopatra Selene's husband and their offspring.

And it will shine from the East for fifteen days, and if it be prolonged, it will be for the good of Israel; in the sixth, sayings (voices), and announcements (hearings); in the seventh, wars, and at the close of the seventh the Messiah is to be expected.’ A similar statement occurs at the close of a collection of three Midrashim - respectively entitled, ‘The Book of Elijah,’ ‘Chapters about the Messiah,’ and ‘The Mysteries of R. Simon, the son of Jochai’56 - where we read that a Star in the East was to appear two years before the birth of the Messiah. The statement is almost equally remarkable, whether it represents a tradition previous to the birth of Jesus, or originated after that event. But two years before the birth of Christ, which, as we have calculated, took place in December 749 a.u.c., or 5 before the Christian era, brings us to the year 747 a.u.c., or 7 before Christ, in which such a Star should appear in the East.57

In the night of 11/12 March, 1822, the ship "Gottfried" was wrecked off the German north coast. It carried a cargo of 90 crates with Egyptian antiquities, collected by General Minutoli and destined for the Egyptian Museum in Berlin. The ship went down somewhere 'between Heligoland and Cuxhaven,' and in the present article a more precise determination is attempted. In the days following the accident, some mummies with their coffins washed ashore. They were later auctioned off, but it is impossible to trace their present whereabouts. W.H.

Considered too profound to be passed on during Asanga's lifetime, the Gyü Lamaí  was concealed in a stupa and rediscovered by Maitripa, Marpa's guru. Maitreya appeared to Maitripa to clarify difficult points and Maitripa spread these teachings widely. Essentially, this teaching consists of:

6. The "Tomb Robbery Papyri" of the twelfth century include many references to shewtyew whose affiliations, if any, remain unstated. That these merchants were independent is suggested by the fact that "the scribes are otherwise particular in referring to the affiliations of witnesses for purposes of identification" (Castle). Similarly, an earlier document, Papyrus Boulaq 11, probably dating to the Eighteenth Dynasty, provides no affiliations for merchants who purchased meat and wine and, in one instance, paid in gold to the tune of 2.5 shat (see Topic III.4).

(as per EEF; Z. Horváth; 082504)
What is referred to as Papyrus Boulaq 18, actually consists of two,
apparently related documents from the 13th Dynasty (most probably
Sobekhotep II), which are conventionally labelled as the "larger"
and the "smaller manuscript".
As far as I know, none of them has yet been fully published. (My latest
information on the topic is that Shafik Allam has just been preparing
an ultimate edition.)
The researcher has to rely on the facsimiles published by Mariette
(Mariette, A.: Les papyrus égyptiens du Musée de Boulaq II. paris,
1872) which should be complemented by the transcriptions and a German translation of preliminary character from Alexander Scharff in ZÄS 57 (1922) 51-68 + plates ("Ein Rechnungsbuch des königlichen Hofes aus der 13. Dynastie")
Studies and articles on the document are too numerous to list here, but
I would like to recommend Stephen Quirke's book, which is partly based on his dissertation, The Administration of Egypt in the Late Middle Kingdom. The Hieratic Documents. New Malden, 1990. There you will find an extensive study on the papyrus, new and important contributions to our understanding of the document, transcriptions as well as translations of certain parts of the manuscript and some corrections in the transcription based on paleographical grounds. A detailed and quite updated bibliography will also serve you.

BULLETIN DES SCIENCES: about 200 similar titles from France ~1828

I owe many thanks to Temple University and Harvard University Libraries for allowing me access to these very hard to find texts.

All of this pertains to CUBITS and was directed to me by the footnotes from Lepsius’ [B_149].

Note: As many as nine different series (sections) were published concurrently with this title, or one nearly identical, during the years 1810-1890.

Most prepared by the same group(s) of persons and published by the Imperial Publisher (Paris).

Most sections with more than ten volumes each.

All of the entries under this heading are to be kept in my archive with [B_224].

also called UTO, EDJO, WADJET, or WADJIT, cobra goddess of ancient Egypt. Depicted as a cobra twined around a

papyrus stem, she was the tutelary goddess of Lower Egypt. Buto and Nekhbet, the vulture-goddess of Upper Egypt, were

the protective goddesses of the king and were sometimes represented together on the king's diadem, symbolizing his reign over

all of Egypt. The form of the rearing cobra of Buto on a crown is termed the uraeus. In mythology, Buto was nurse to the

infant god Horus and helped Isis, his mother, protect him from his treacherous uncle, Seth, when she took refuge in the Delta

swamps. The similarity of this myth to the Greek story of Leto and Apollo on Delos probably resulted in the later identification

of Buto with Leto.

Buto is also the Greek form of the ancient Egyptian Per Wadjit (Coptic Pouto, “House of Wadjit”), the name of the capital of

the 6th Lower Egyptian nome (province), modern Tall al-Fara'in, of which the goddess was the local deity.

BYBLOS SYLLABIC TEXTS: (Phoenician) syllabary from modern Jebeil

http://www.aub.edu.lb/aub-online/publications/archaeology.html

See work by Mendenhall, George, E.

“a group of nine texts carved in stone or stamped on copper plates. It was clear that the writing system was syllabic, not alphabetic, and was very closely related to Egyptian hieroglyphic characters.”

Circa 1800 BCE?

The Byblos Syllabary (by Steve Bett)

Nine text stamped on copper plates or spatulas and carved in stone were excavated at the modern site of Jebeil, ancient Byblos, by the French expedition under the direction of Prof. M. Dunand, during the years 1928 to 1932. They were published in 1945 in the monograph titled Byblia Grammata. The language recorded on these 9 texts would have been translated quickly had it been in reasonable conformity to known archaic Semitic dialects. They fall into the category of inscriptions in which both the writing system and the language are unknown. Because of this, it took 37 years for the first translation to appear. 

Mendenhall believes that the language is a primitive one, not crude but rather the source from which subsequent dialects evolved and specialized. Mendenhall thinks that the texts are early bronze age: pre-Hyksos and pre Egyptian Middle Empire: probably around 2400 b.c. 

According to Mendenhall, the thesis that the Canaanite alphabet was derived from the Egyptian hieroglyphic writing system is too simplistic. The derivation was indirect in the sense that the designers of the syllabary were aware of Egyptian and borrowed the pictorial shapes but not the associated name and sound. The snake symbol, for instance, was given the native name, *nahas. The phonetic value was the first syllable of that name, and its epigraphic function was to signal the syllable na instead of the Egyptian word and syllable *ukraeus or *djet.

http://www.leidenuniv.nl/nino/aeb93/abbrv93a.html#JSSEA

As was established by Mendenhall, the acrophonic principle is a regular feature of the Byblos syllabary script. Following this principle, a number of new identifications are proposed (see also AEB 92.0191) The script was likely developed between the O.K. and M.K., the basic forms having been established before the XIIth Dynasty. The origin was probably connected with that of the Egyptian system of group writing, which seems to have been devised in the O.K. There is a surprisingly close connection to the Proto-Sinaitic alphabet. A number of signs can, moreover, be identified with later Canaanite counterparts. Other signs survive in Old South Arabic (Sabaean) and Ethiopic scripts.
