Decree of the Priests of Memphis in Honor of Ptolemy V Epiphanes

In the reign of the young king, Ptolemy V, son of Ptolemy IV and Arsinoe III, who is eternal and beloved of Ptah, God Epiphanes Eucharistos, in the ninth year of his rule (196 BCE), a great assembly of priests from all Egypt convened in Memphis.

Preamble:

Whereas Ptolemy V has shown piety toward the gods, restored order in Egypt, and provided for the temples;

 

Whereas he has reduced taxes, forgiven debts, and released prisoners;

 

Whereas he has maintained the divine honors of his ancestors and established peace and prosperity;

 

Decree:

Royal Benefactions: Ptolemy V has bestowed gifts upon the temples, increased offerings to the gods, and restored sacred rites neglected in prior times. He has reduced taxes on the people and priests, canceled arrears, and funded the repair of temples damaged in wars.

 

Military Achievements: He has defended Egypt against rebels and fortified the land, ensuring stability.

 

Divine Honors: In gratitude, the priests decree that Ptolemy V shall be worshipped as a god alongside the other gods in all temples. Statues of him shall be erected, and festivals in his honor shall be celebrated monthly.

 

Publication of the Decree: This decree shall be inscribed on steles in the sacred (hieroglyphic), native (Demotic), and Greek scripts, and placed in all major temples of Egypt for all to see.

 

Conclusion:

The priests proclaim eternal loyalty to Ptolemy V and his heirs, invoking blessings from the gods for his reign.

Notes on the Translation

The hieroglyphic and Demotic versions are less well-preserved but align closely with the Greek text in content, though with stylistic differences suited to each scriptโ€™s conventions.

 

The decree is propagandistic, emphasizing Ptolemy Vโ€™s legitimacy and divine status during a time of political instability, including revolts in Upper Egypt.

 

The text includes formulaic praises and repetitive lists of benefactions, typical of Ptolemaic decrees.
