Abstract

Publication of a stela kept at the British Museum (EA 612). It shows the pharaoh Ptolemy VIII Euergetes II offering Maat to the triad of Xois, i.e. Amun-Re, Mut and Khonsu. The king is followed by his sister Cleopatra II and his wife Cleopatra III. The article situates this rare representation of the royal trio within its historical context. The stela can be dated to around 141/140–132 or 124–116 BC.
