He built a sanctuary at Esna (Lato- poHs) in Upper Egypt, and he began to build on the site of an old Egyptian temple the temple of Edfu, 237 B. C. ; this was finished by Ptolemy XIII, ^y B. C. He also made additions to Kamak and Philse, and he added largely to the Library of Alexandria, which at that time was under the direction of Eratosthenes of Cyrene (bom 276... B. C. , died 196). He is said to have marched to Babylon and Susa (the Shushan of the Bible, and the modem Shushter), and to have brought back from the latter city 2500 images of Egyptian gods that had been carried there by Cambyses. The great benefits which he had conferred upon the priesthoods of Egypt induced them to assemble at Canopus in the ninth year of the reign of THE NEW EMPIRE 155 Ptolemy III, and to pass a decree conferring special honours on the king and on his queen Berenice. Copies of the decree in the Egyptian (hieroglyphic and demotic) and Greek lan- guages were ordered to be cut on stelae, which were to be set up in every temple of the first, second, and third class in Egypt.
