ELEFANTINA
Elefantina at
the first cataract lies on island in the Nile close to Aswan
at the beginning of the Nasser-lake in Egypt Aswan Anoek is.
We find
here a conglomerate of many Phoenicians inscriptions with personal names, which
seems to be for a greater part in connection with each-other. It looks like
this is a complete Egyptian-Phoenician (group of) family/ies mingling in
each-other. Many names are returning in different inscriptions: Ytnḥp 3x, sḥpmw
4x, ‘bdptḥ 2x, ‘bdl’ 2x, ‘bd’bst 4x. They have found a total of c.80 personal
names of which c.20 are pure Egyptian, c.20 are half Egyptian/half Phoenician
origin, c.30 are pure Phoenician and c.10 are too problematic to house, but
everything is written down in the Phoenician language. All the inscriptions
come from the 5th century BC.
