Dated to the 1st century BCE an Egyptian document on which, according to the researchers, there is the only preserved handwritten signature of queen Cleopatra VII<\/a>. Papyrus has survived to our times, because it was used in the first century CE to wrap the mummy in the ancient cemetery of Busiris (200 km southeast of Alexandria).<\/p>\n

As it turns out, Cleopatra’s writing has a mistake in the phrase ginesthoi<\/em> – an additional iota – which we can translate from Greek as “so be it”.<\/p>\n

In the manuscript, the Queen grants an exemption from the tax on the sale of imported wine to Roman merchant Publius Canidius, a friend of Mark Antony<\/a>. The document was written by a court scribe for bureaucratic needs.<\/p>\n
