Vetting Status: high
Translation: "His processional equipment led the way, made of silver and gold, and very many hoplites and royal decoration and litters, holding images of kings,[1] and some representations. Uaphres himself was brought after the rest by litter, in a temple made of gold; and the most venerable and accomplished of the priests were the bearers."

Notes:
The unglossed headword, presumably extracted from the quotation given, is a neuter plural; its singular is a variant of
fe/rtron (
phi 233) or
fe/retron.
The quotation -- transmitted, in Adler's view, via the
Excerpta Constantini Porphyrogeniti -- is unidentifiable. However, Uaphres, king of Egypt 588-569 BCE, is mentioned in
Jeremiah 51.30
LXX (44:30 KJV, where the name is represented as Hophra), and on the basis of
Manetho 66 he is to be equated with the 'Apries' whose career is sketched in
Herodotus 2.161 ff. Chronologically impossible correspondence is cited between him and Solomon (Alexander Polyhistor fr. 18).

Homer,
Odyssey 4.124, on words related to
fe/rw).
