I just read a book on the relationship between Israel, Canaan and Egypt in
ancient times.  It revealed more and older contact between Greece and Egypt
before Alexander than I would have suspected.  I am curious to know if that
contact left a trace in the vocabulary of Greek.  How many Egyptian
loanwords are there in Classical and Koine Greek?
