In Egypt they would say the 8th year of Cleopatra VII Thea Philopator

No they wouldn’t. They would say something similar BUT IN OLDE WORLDY EGYPTIAN.

59 BC is actually pretty close to coptic I'd bet for spoken language (though officially it wouldn't be called coptic with consistent Greek script until the third century). At least in the sense that vulgar Latin was close to Italian.
