Moulton & Milligan — Vocabulary of the Greek NT
Κανδάκη. An interesting inscription belonging to B.c. 13 comes to us from the ancient Pselkis on the borders of Ethiopia in which an embassy on its homeward journey πρὸς] τὴν κυρίαν βασίλισσαν records its ‘‘adoration.” Wilcken (Hermes xxvili. (1893) p. 154 ff.) has shown good grounds for belieying that in this βασίλισσα we are to see the famous Kay8axn_ of Ac δ57, The whole inscr. is in consequence worth recording here—Apmoxpds ἥκω ἀναβαίνων μετὰ "E[parov] πρεσβευτοῦ kal Taplov γραμματέως [πρὸς] τὴν κυρίαν βασίλισσαν καὶ τὸ προσ[κύνημα] ἐπόησα ὧδε παρ[ὰ] τῷ κυρίῳ “Epp[q θεῷ μεγίστῳ] kal’ Epdrov καὶ ᾿Ανθούσης kal [ Αλε]ξανδρήας, ἔτους tL ἸΚα([σα](ρος) Μεχ[είρ (Cagzat I. 1359). In itself the name Κανδάκη, like Ptolemy, was a dynastic title (“quod nomen multis iam annis ad reginas transiit,” Pliny A.J. vi. 35). See also Laurent V7 Studien, p. 140 fl.
