Summary DemLü: | The Greek abbreviation for δεῖνα ‘so-and-so’ replaces the Egyptian alternative mn in the filiation formulae in some passages of Demotic magical manuals. D. studies all aspects in great detail and reaches the conclusion that this alloglottography is the result of influence from a Greek Vorlage for the these spells. |
