Description
English: A votive inscription dedicated by the Greek Onnophris that depicts a male pharaoh presenting offerings to the goddess Isis, but honours in its text a queen Cleopatra (probably Cleopatra VII). It is disputed whether Cleopatra was deliberately depicted as a male or whether a stele made under her father with his portrait was later inscribed with an inscription for Cleopatra. If the mentioned queen is indeed Cleopatra VII, the stele can be dated to 51 BC. On the uncertainties regarding this stele, see Pfeiffer, Stefan (2015). Griechische und lateinische Inschriften zum Ptolemäerreich und zur römischen Provinz Aegyptus. Münster: Lit, pp. 177–181.
Français : Une inscription votive dédiée par le Grec Onnophris qui représente un pharaon mâle présentant des offrandes à la déesse Isis, mais qui honore dans son texte une reine Cléopâtre (probablement Cléopâtre VII). Il n'est pas certain que Cléopâtre ait été délibérément représentée comme un homme ou qu'une stèle réalisée sous le règne de son père et portant le portrait de ce dernier ait été ultérieurement gravée d'une inscription en faveur de Cléopâtre. Si la reine mentionnée est bien Cléopâtre VII, la stèle peut être datée de 51 av. Sur les incertitudes concernant cette stèle, voir Pfeiffer, Stefan (2015). Griechische und lateinische Inschriften zum Ptolemäerreich und zur römischen Provinz Aegyptus. Münster : Lit, pp. 177–181.
Deutsch: Eine Weihinschrift des Griechen Onnophris, die in ihrem Bildfeld einen männlichen Pharao darstellt, der der Göttin Isis Opfergaben darbringt, in ihrem Text aber eine Königin Kleopatra (wahrscheinlich Kleopatra VII.) ehrt. Es ist umstritten, ob Kleopatra absichtlich als Mann dargestellt wurde oder ob eine unter ihrem Vater angefertigte Stele mit seinem Porträt später mit einer Inschrift für Kleopatra versehen wurde. Wenn es sich bei der erwähnten Königin tatsächlich um Kleopatra VII. handelt, kann die Stele auf 51 v. Chr. datiert werden. Zu den Unklarheiten bezüglich der Stele siehe Stefan Pfeiffer: Griechische und lateinische Inschriften zum Ptolemäerreich und zur römischen Provinz Aegyptus. Lit, Münster 2015, S. 177–181.
العربية: شاهد من الحجر الجيري لكليوباترا السابعة ملكة مصر وهي ترتدي زي فرعون وتقدم القرابين لإيزيس (51 قبل الميلاد).
