Epiphanes (Ptolemy V.), as well as those of
Philometor (Ptolemy VI.) who again appears
at Karnak, and whose name is also found at the
end of the hypostyle hall at Esneh. Euergetes
II. (Ptolemy IX.) built the little temple which
stands on the western side of the temple of
Khons at Karnak, and here and there engraved
his cartouche on unoccupied corners at Medinet-
Abou, at Deir-el-Bahari and at Karnak. Under
