The Pedon Statuette is a VII cen. BCE Egyptian sculpture from Priene bearing a late VII or early VI cen. BCE Ionic inscription by an individual named Pedon, son of Amphinnes. Through a textual, historical, and linguistic analysis, I argue that Pedon was not a successful Greek mercenary in Saite Egypt (XXVI Dynasty; VII-VI cen. BCE), as previous scholarship stated, but rather an Egyptian native fluent in Greek language (cf. Hdt. 2.154.2).

Abstract
The Pedon Statuette is a VII cen. BCE Egyptian sculpture from Priene bearing a late VII or early VI cen. BCE Ionic inscription by an individual named Pedon, son of Amphinnes. Through a textual, historical, and linguistic analysis, I argue that Pedon was not a successful Greek mercenary in Saite Egypt (XXVI Dynasty; VII-VI cen. BCE), as previous scholarship stated, but rather an Egyptian native fluent in Greek language (cf. Hdt. 2.154.2).File allegati a questo prodotto
