At this point, we are able to compare the readings obtained by our proposed methodology with the readings of the emperor’s title, name, surname and nickname in [4], [5], and [6]. According to previous part of text in this section, it is very clear that we have a significant difference between our reading compared with readings presented in [4], [5], and [6], were the respective authors assumed that the order of words in emperor’s mentioning in the demotic text is literally identical with the ancient Greek text. Consequently, according to that assumption, the word Ptolemy is the emperor’s first name. This is a consequence of the fact that the word Ptolemy follows the title of the pharaoh (ΒΑΣΙΛΕΥΣ) in the ancient Greek text. However, we think that the word Ptolemy, which is actually the name of the dynasty, must denotes the surname (family name), and as a consequence that each ruler has a different personal name. This is in accordance with the ancient Greek text as well. Additionally, it is very clear that the order of words in the demotic text is not the same with the order of corresponding words found in the ancient Greek text in this case. In [4], [5], and [6], in the demotic text, after the title of the pharaoh, according to previously mentioned “very logical” assumption the authors obtains the corresponding sequence of signs in the demotic text. The problem with obtained sequence of signs for Ptolemy, as a consequence of this assumption, is that 10 letters used originally in the ancient Greek text for the word Ptolemy are substituted with 12 signs that are syllabic by their nature. This should be very wrong, because if we have in mind that the demotic text has 32 lines, and the ancient Greek one has 54 lines, by the very simple proportion, the word Ptolemy in demotic text must be substituted with maximum 6 syllabic signs. Consequently, the sequence of 12 syllabic signs, which according to [4], [5], and [6], denotes word Ptolemy, must be connected with the superlative and the personal name of the pharaoh, which are denoted by 18 letters in ancient Greek text. As a result, by applying our methodology and previously discussed assumptions, we obtain the following reading for the longest text form of mentioning the pharaoh:
