Packet 10: Bonus 7
A Ptolemaic-era text in this script contains obscure oracular statements about rulers like “Akoris, Repeater of Appearances.” For 10 points each:
[10e] Name this Egyptian script derived from hieratic (“high-RAT-ick”), whose common name means “popular.” The Rosetta Stone uses Greek, Egyptian hieroglyphics, and this cursive script.
ANSWER: Demotic [accept Enchorial Egyptian]
[10h] The Demotic Chronicle says a pharaoh of this name, the only one from the 28th Dynasty, made “the movements of yesterday” when laws were violated. An earlier “king in the marshes” with this name supported Inaros’ revolt.
ANSWER: Amyrtaeus (“am-er-TAY-us”) [or Amyrtaios or Amenirdisu; prompt on Psammetichus or Psamtik by asking “what name do sources other than Diodorus give him?”]
[10m] The first ruler of this name faced Inaros’ revolt. The second Persian king of this name lost Egypt around the time of a revolt by his brother Cyrus the Younger, and later waged an unsuccessful 370s BCE campaign against Nectanebo I.
ANSWER: Artaxerxes [or Artaxšaçā; accept Artaxerxes I or II; prompt on Arses or Arsaces by asking “what was his regnal name?”; reject “Xerxes” or “Ahasuerus”]
