Deux nouvelles stèles du Sérapéum de Memphis

Abstract

Publication of two modest stelae discovered by the Franco-Egyptian mission of the Louvre at the Serapeum of Saqqara in 2021 during clearance works above the Lesser Vaults. The first one, in hieroglyphic script, could date back to year 23 of Osorkon II. The second, written in Early Demotic, could attest the burial of a hitherto unknown Apis who might have died in year 28 of Artaxerxes I. These documents also testify to the variety of forms of the stelae used to praise Apis.
