I came across the term al Aziz used for the ruler of Egypt in The Chronicle of the Year 693 (Sinaitic Arabic 597), as translated by Alexander Hourani. It seems to be associated there with Ptolemaic rulers. Was "al Aziz" actually used specifically for Ptolemaic rulers in Arabic sources, or was it a more general title?
If it was tied to the Ptolemies, why does the Quran use "al Aziz" in the Joseph narrative but "Firawn" for the ruler in the Moses narrative?

here is the link of Alexander Houranis Translation
