[edit] Thank you!

Thank you so much for this edit where you added the Egyptian hieroglyphics for the name Ptolemy. I added that line back in March this year with this edit, and I've been trying to find out the hieroglyphics ever since, though I was secretly hoping someone else might turn up and add the information. May I ask where you found this information? I'm asking because at some point (sooner, rather then later) the article will need references. Once again, many thanks, and if it is not too much to hope for, do you have any ideas where to find out if anyone has published anything about the etymology/translations/transliterations of the name?

You're quite welcome! Actually, I found it in the article Egyptian hieroglyphs#Simple examples. The same can be found at this page, which I found with Google Image Search with the keyword 'ptolmis'. It seems the first person to add the hieroglyphs was PierreAbbat in this edit, but his image has been deleted since. Lunchboxhero added the <hiero> script in this edit. I have studied some Egyptian in the University, so the transliteration is made by me. Sorry, but I don't know of any publications. – Radulfr 20:45, 11 December 2006 (UTC)
