Of, or relating to pleonasm.
Redundant.
Characterised by the use of redundant words or an excessive number of words.
Before undertaking to show the connection which this papyrus seems to establish between an apparently historical king of the IId dynasty and the hero of a romance of the XIXth (an interval of two or three thousand years), I will give an English version of Dr. Brugsch's German translation, condensing somewhat its more pleonastic passages, but preserving its genuine Egyptian features.
From pleonasm + -astic.
