Papyrus Amherst 63 (CoS 1.99[1]) is an ancient Egyptian papyrus from the third century BC containing Aramaic texts in demotic script.[2] The 35 texts date to the eighth and seventh centuries BC.[3] One of these, a version of Psalm 20, provides an "unprecedented" extrabiblical parallel to a text from the Hebrew Bible.[4] It syncretizes abundantly, including the names Yaho and Bethel, and mentions a khnh, a word meaning priestess of Yaho.[5]
