Slab, poorly preserved, now in the Ny Carlsberg Glyptothek in Copenhaegen (AEIN 826)

On behalf of king Ptolemaios, Philopater (“Father-loving”) and Philadelphos (“Brother-loving”) god. This statue was dedicated to Isis Esenchebis, the great goddess, by the synod (synodos) of Esenchebis, whose synagogue-leader (synagōgos) is Helenos. They have dedicated the land to the north and south, from the enclosure that Helenos constructed to the walkway, and the land from the west to the east, from the assembly place to the temple.
