1900. F. L. (Frances LLewellyn) Griffith is the editor of these two demotic stories. Demotic, a term first used by Herodotus, is both a stage of the ancient Egyptian language and the script used to record the language. The aim of scholars was to demonstrate the value of demotic texts for the study of Ptolemaic and Roman Egyptian social and cultural history.
