I've downloaded both papers, read Devauchelle's and am in the middle of reading Porte's.

On Devauchelle's: how would one write Caesar in demotic? How different would it be from Djeser? And what does "year 5" mean? Five counted since what?

Anyway, as you say, if he is right (and it seems very possible), we have to think again about probable birth date and parentage.

Porte's paper is at least as interesting! I had not questioned Brutus' birth year but will go back to my books :-) although if he was Caesar's son, would he have been engaged to Julia as Munzer proposes so plausibly?

I'm delighted at this pretext for more research :-) Thank you again!
