Descrizione

This paper focuses on a bilingual inscription on a small statue base providing one of the earliest attestations of the epithet Soter in use for ptolemy I both in the greek and in the demotic evidence. the dedication is more plausibly to be dated to the reign of ptolemy II than to that of his father and predecessor. Accordingly, it sheds light on the posthumous process of standardization of the denomination Soter as the official title of the dynastic founder ptolemy I.
