BACCHYLIDES: (Greek) papyrus
(as per E. G. Turner) See British Museum.
Pronounced As: bakilidz , fl. c.470 B.C., Greek lyric poet,
b. Ceos; nephew of Simonides of Ceos. A contemporary of Pindar, he was patronized
by Hiero I. 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).
http://www.let.leidenuniv.nl/gltc/ilja/pubs/bacch.bibl.html
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]

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.

(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.

BORAITA:

See TALMUD?
http://www.ccel.org/e/edersheim/lifetimes/htm/vii.viii.htm
See excerpt below:
There is a Boraita in the name
of the Rabbis: The heptad in which the Son of David cometh - in the first
year, there will not be sufficient nourishment; in the second year the arrows
of famine are launched; in the third, a great famine; in the fourth, neither
famine nor plenty; in the fifth, great abundance, and the Star shall shine
forth from the East, and this is the Star of the Messiah. 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.

It signifies the town- ship where the well known astronomer Mihira of Vikramaditya's court lived along with his helpers, mathematicians and technicians. They used the so-called Kutub tower as an observation post for astronomical study. Around the tower were pavilions dedicated to the 27 constel- lations of the Hindu Zodiac.

Based on the Dharani-raja sutra as spoken by the Buddha to King Isvara, this was one of five teachings given by Maitreya to Asanga in Tushita heaven. 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:

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).

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

of preliminary character from Alexander Scharff in ZÄS

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.

whereabouts of the slate or green basalt cubit acquired by
Raffaelli. A
second [Leppy] reference, on the same page of [B_149], relates
to a drawing of the cubit 'taken from the Bulletin' without mentioning which

(as per EB)
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

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.
