مستخلص: An ostracon from Edfu (O. Edfu 326 = SH 989) inscribed in the late Ptolemaic period is a fascinating example of cultural hybridity in late Hellenistic Egypt. So far, however, the short text has been analyzed mostly from the Greek perspective and, as a result, remains grossly misinterpreted. This note brings to light the neglected Egyptian dimension of the text and demonstrates that the short song merges Euripides' Phoenissae with a festival of the Coronation of the Sacred Falcon in Edfu, on the basis of cultic associations of the gods Horus and Helios.
