This paper, which deals with the relations between the Egyptian clergy and the Macedonians kings, is a prosopographic study based on the philological and historical analysis of the indigenous priests' private sources. The first part is about the first contacts between the clergy and the first Macedonian kings, in comparison with the previous bonds between the Great Kings and the temples' staff. The second part treats how the priests moved to the service of the Ptolemaic state. In the third part, the question of the intrusion of the royal officers in the temples is examined.
