Inaros in Iceland and Elsewhere
-
Kim Ryholt
Abstract
This preliminary report describes a new papyrus inscribed with a story from the Inaros cycle. The largest fragment was identified in the Iceland National Museum in Reykjavik, and there are several further fragments in the Egyptian Museum in Berlin and in an unidentified collection in Washington. The text finds no parallel among the published Inaros stories and it seems to represent an entirely new addition to the cycle of stories evolving around this legendary figure. It is written in the same characteristic hand as a larger group of literary papyri that includes at least three further copies of Inaros stories: two are inscribed with Petechons and Sarpot and one with Pharaoh and Persians.
