This bilingual (Demotic/Greek) scribe appears to have copied the long Demotic sections of both manuscripts, and although he also wrote the short Greek sections integrated into the Demotic (either in-line or as glosses), he invited three further scribes – more highly trained in Greek – to copy the extensive Greek sections of both manuscripts. pubtype: Academic Journal doctype: Article src: R language: English refInfo: copyright: @attributes: flag: Y custom: Copyright of Symbolae Osloenses is the property of Taylor & Francis Ltd and its content may not be copied or emailed to multiple sites without the copyright holder's express written permission.
