520 |a The recent editions of the Aramaic text in Demotic script known as Papyrus Amherst 63 have opened a new arena for scholarly discussions. Karel van der Toorn suggested that in col. xii:1-11 of this text an elegy on the Siege of Samaria from the point of view of the conquerors can be found. I will argue that his proposal is based on too many suppositions and hence should be construed as too speculative to be convincing. I would prefer a more Northern, Syrian location for the bewailed city, probably Carchemish. As a result, Van der Toorn’s historical construction regarding the provenance of the Arameans and Yehudites in Syene and on the island of Elephantine is challenged.
