Not indexed. Not illustrated. 1754 Excerpt: . . . SECT. IV. The magnificent solemnity, at the inauguration of Ptolemy Philadelphus king of Egypt. PTolemy Philadelphus, after his father had abdicated the crown in his favour, entertained the people, when he ascended the throne, with the most splendid festival mentioned by antiquity. Athenus has left us a long description of it, transcribed from Callixenes the Rhodian, who compiled a history of Alexandria, and Montfaucon relates it in his antiquities. I shall insert the particulars of it in this place, because they will give us a very proper idea of the riches and opulence of Egypt. I may add too, that as ancient authors speak very often of sacred pomp, processions, and solemn festivals, in honour of their gods, I thought it incumbent on me to give some, idea of them for once, by describing one of the most: celebrated solemnities that was ever known. Plutarch, who is perpetually mentioning triumphs among the Romans, has the approbation of his readers, for particular description of that of Paulus milius, ich was one of the most magnificent. But if the account I shall now give should appear unseasonable or too prolix, it may be passed over, without interrupting the series of this history; for I declare before-hand, that the relation will be something tedious. , (a) This pompous solemnity continued a whole day, and was conducted through the circus of Alexandria. It was divided into several parts, and formed a variety of separate processions. Beside those of the kings father and mother, the gods had, each of them, (n) Athen.
