Pasas belonged to a prominent Egyptian/Greek family in Edfu; see AET_5.8. His Greek name was Apollonios. Like his mother, he was commemorated with two epitaphs, one in hieroglyphs and one in Greek verse ( THI_191.A ).
The hieroglyphic epitaph stresses the role of Pasas as an Egyptian priest, and makes no mention of his death abroad. This translation is taken from M. Rihan, "Two stelae from the Egyptian Museum, CG: 22018, 22050" ( PDF ).
