Résumé: The abundance of information on the highest level of the royal administration thanks to the Zenon archive [in part. P. Lond. VII, 1938] allows us to put an exact date on the Mendes stele [Cairo C.G. 22181, 257 B.C.] and to reconstruct a royal journey through the Delta, but it also shows how Ptolemy II, on the verge of his last major war, spent part of his time in the Egyptian chora, visiting the temples, taking part in religious ceremonies and even celebrated some of the most important dynastic festivals outside Alexandria.
