Petosiris of Arabia

[edit]

The rendering of פטסרי as Petosiris seems to take inspiration from the far-flung. Is this the same name? If osiris is Osiris, what's the pt pt? Temerarius (talk) 22:49, 8 December 2024 (UTC)[reply]

The source to which this is cited has throughout Peṭosriris. However, the transcription of Briquel-Chatonnet has pṭsry. Roche states the name means « qu’Osiris a donné ».[1]  --Lambiam 18:33, 9 December 2024 (UTC)[reply]
I may be mistaken, but wouldn't « qu’Osiris a donné » require פת?
