Synopsis
Contributing Authors

In the Egyptian priestly hierarchy, lesonis refers to the priest chosen by his peers to administer the property and staff of a temple for at least one year. The Greek term ??????? transcribes the Egyptian mr-n. In a country where temples played an important economic and social role, this function gave its bearer a prominent place. After a paleographic and lexical study of the title, presenting its different spellings, the difficulties of its etymology, the conditions of its use in Egyptian and the methods of its transcription or translation into Greek, a socio-historical synthesis presents data on access to the office, its exercise, and the position of its holder in the temple. A catalog of all the lesonis-priests attested from the first mentions of the title to the end of the Ptolemaic period completes the work, as does a selection of 25 emblematic texts, in Demotic and Greek, with translations.

Dans la hierarchie sacerdotale egyptienne, le lesonis designe le pretre choisi par ses pairs afin d’administrer les biens et le personnel d’un temple pendant au moins une annee. Le terme grec λέoνις transcrit l’egyptien mr-n. La fonction donnait une place eminente a son porteur dans un pays ou les temples jouaient un role economique et social important. Apres une etude paleographique et lexicale du titre, presentant ses differentes graphies, les difficultes de son etymologie, ses conditions d’emploi en egyptien et les modalites de sa transcription ou de sa traduction en grec, une synthese socio-historique presente les donnees sur l’acces a la charge, son exercice et la position de son detenteur dans le temple. Un catalogue de tous les lesoneis attestes depuis les premieres mentions du titre jusqu’a la fin de l’epoque ptolemaique complete l’ouvrage, ainsi qu’un choix de 25 textes emblematiques, en demotique et en grec, avec traduction.
