| has gloss | eng: The Decree of Canopus is a bilingual inscription-(two languages, three scripts), written in three writing systems–Egyptian hieroglyphs, Egyptian Demotic, and Greek, on an ancient Egyptian memorial stone stele, the Stone of Canopus, a decree by the Egyptian priests honoring Pharaoh Ptolemy III Euergetes; Queen Berenice, his wife; and Princess Berenice. in 239 BC. Importance for the decipherment of hieroglyphs This is the earliest of the series of trilingual inscriptions of the "Rosetta Stone Series", the next being the Decree of Memphis (Ptolemy IV), for Ptolemy IV, and the third, final stone, being the Rosetta Stone, inscribed for Ptolemy V, in 196 BCE. Having a greater number of different hieroglyphs than the Rosetta Stone, the Canopus Stone has proved crucial in deciphering them. Two copies of the stele stones exist, in different line widths. |

| has gloss | hbs: Kanopusov dekret, Kanopusov ukaz ili Kanopusov edikt je naziv za dokument koga su objavili staroegipatski svećenici godine 239. pne. i 238. pne. kako bi iskazali štovanje tadašnjem ptolomejskom kralju Ptolomeju III Euergetu i njegovoj supruzi Bereniki, koja je proglašena za boginju. Tekst, isklesan na stijeni, podsjeća na Ptolemejeva dobra djela, njegovo štovanje drevnih egipatskih bogova kao što su Apis i Mnevis te povratak u egipatske hramove statua i blaga koje je bio prije nepuna dva vijeka bio opljačkao perzijski kralj Kambiz II. Najvažniji detalj teksta se odnosi na reformu kalendara, odnosno kraljevo nastojanje da dotadašnji egipatski zamijeni s novim solarnim kalendarom koji je bio najprecizniji od svih takvih kalendara u antici. Reforma nije zaživjela, ali je kasnije poslužila kao podloga za julijanski i koptski kalendar. |
