PREFACE
Of
the large collection of papyri found by us in the winter of

el Baragit (the ancient Tebtunis), when we were
1 899-1 900 at
Umm
excavating for the University of California with funds generously provided by Mrs. Phoebe A. Hearst, that portion which was obtained
from the mummies of crocodiles dating from the second and first centuries B.C.
was published by us
in 1902.
The

Smyly
cartonnage from the Ptolemaic necropolis has now been
unrolled and in part deciphered, chiefly by Prof. Smyly, who

these texts belong to the first three centuries of the Christian era. The
unrolling of them was performed during the course of the excavations
of the excavations

these papyri were studied by Dr. E. J. Goodspeed, who deciphered
part of those here edited and is associated with us in their publication

vol. i and of the first half of vol. ii of his work Priester und Tempel int

of great service in dealing with the documents concerning the priests.

proof-sheets of his forthcoming third volume of the British Museum

warmest thanks
we have once more

for the munificence to
which archaeologists owe the

Is it conceivable, to take one striking
coincidence, that Malalas, writing in the sixth century, can have hit by accident
on precisely the same phrase as the original (1. 13) in rjv yap In vios KaX yiwaloi

primis pueritiae annis cum verecundia ac potestate adolescebat ? Or compare

the accounts of the scene between the dying Achilles and Ajax (11. 42-8), where
it is equally evident that the remarkable closeness of the language of Malalas
Greek Dictys cannot be the fortuitous result of retranslation.

to Malalas the two principal representatives of Dictys in Greek are
the anonymous 'ExAoy^ 'loropiwi; (Cramer, Anecd. Paris. II, pp. 166 sqq.), which
is very closely related to the compendium of Malalas, and Georgius Cedrenus,
whose universal history was compiled in the middle of the eleventh century.
The question which the discovery reopens of the relation of these excerptors
to each other and to Dictys is far too large and intricate for discussion here.
It has lately been elaborately treated with great ingenuity by F. Noack
{Philologus, 6. Suppl. Band, 1893, pp. 402-500), whose main contention that
the original Dictys was in Greek is now vindicated in a manner for which he

It is to be regretted that the bad condition of the

to the months, since there are red horizontal lines underneath 11. 28 and 30, indicating

to dem. Mercury entered Capricorn on Choiak 14, remained in it during Tubi, entered
Aquarius on Mecheir 17, Pisces on Phamenoth 5, Aries on Phamenoth 21, and Taurus on

discrepancy of 2 in the figures is trifling compared with the points of agreement between

statements of P that Saturn entered Pisces on Athur 23
of the 14th year and Aries on Pachon 4 of the 15th agree closely with those of dem.,
which assigns these events respectively to Athur 24 and the 4th day of a month which is lost,
but which can now be restored as Pachon.
P is defective for the first six months of the 14th year.

Jupiter entered Aries on Choiak 5 according to dem., but we hesitate to restore the figure
since the extant entries concerning Jupiter in P do not agree precisely with those in dem.
According to dem. Jupiter entered Aquarius on Pharmouthi 15, for which P has the 12th,
and re-entered Capricorn on Pauni 26, for which P has the 30th. The astronomical sign
following aiyo in 1. 41 perhaps denotes that the planet had gone backward instead of
forward.
For the 15th year the names of the months are missing in dem., according to
which Jupiter entered Aquarius on the i8th day and Pisces on the 5th. The corresponding
dates in P are Choiak 1 7 (?) and Phamenoth 6, so that the divergence is slight.
P has lost the names of the zodiacal signs throughout, and

only preserves the dates between 11. 39 and 49. Dem. has lost the names of the signs in
the 1 4th year from Tubi to Mesore, but is otherwise complete ; and the missing names can
be restored with certainty, for the five changes which took place in those months
correspond to the interval of 5 signs between Scorpio, which Mars entered on Choiak i,
and Aries, in which Mars was at the beginning of the 15th year. Since the dates preserved in P agree almost exactly with those in dem., we have not hesitated to restore
the whole of cols, vi and vii from dem.

tetragonal and hexagonal relations. Trigonal relation between two planets

means that they are so situated that one is in the fourth sign of the Zodiac

more intelligible, though concerning it too the details are sparse. The principals
in the suit were Apollonides and Claudius Antoninus, and the dispute was
connected with the possession and ownership of certain slaves.
The first

and the importance of
this rescript led to
the present extract being cited in the trial before the hypomnematographus (1. i).
From the rescript we learn that it was the second letter addressed by the
Emperor to the plaintiff in this dispute. The latter had petitioned Hadrian more
than once about the conduct of Philotera, who must have been on the side of
the defendant Antoninus, and whom Apollonides accused of being in wrongful
possession of property belonging to himself, apparently because she continued
to keep possession of the slaves mortgaged to her or to Antoninus after the debt
which had given rise to the mortgage had been paid off. The Emperor's letter
two parts, first an assurance to Apollonides, based on personal
knowledge of Philotera, that she would not wrong him, especially as unjust
possession had no legal validity (11. 4-7), and secondly a reproach for being
troubled with an irrelevant petition since Apollonides was entitled to recover
the slaves, i.e. by bringing an action at law (11. 7-9). There follows in 11. 10-2

46
of possession of the house is dismissed by the judge, following the terms of

Hadrian's rescript which had been quoted, and of a rescript of Trajan which is
not cited (11. 21-4). Though both the trials partly recorded in the papyrus took
place in the reign of Hadrian (cf. for the date of the later one 1. 23, where
Hadrian is spoken of as reigning), 286 was written after his death, as is shown
by the heading in 1. i. No doubt the rescript of Hadrian was often adduced as
evidence.

Extract from a rescript of the deified Hadrian.

The 6th year of Hadrianus Caesar
the lord, Athur 17, Apollonides against Claudius Antoninus.
After other evidence Aelius
Hadrianus (wrote): "Only yesterday I declared to you that my edict was of service to you,
and I think that Philotera, being an excellent person whose good character is well known
to me, will do you no wrong, especially as (she ?) knows that unjust possession is invalid ;
but you still wish to trouble me about points which are not at issue, although you have the
guardian of the lender who shall restore to you the slaves." Flavius Juncinus said: "In
accordance with the rescripts of our lord Apollonides shall receive back the slaves and their
labour from Antoninus, the heir."
Julius Theon, a victor in the sacred games and exempt
from taxation, neocorus of the great Sarapis, ex-archidicastes, priest and hypomnemaas the result of the contracts of sale, and
tographus, said "... Since Ptolema has the
of the declaration of the chief engineers and of my own personal observation, the house
belongs to Ptolema. For there is no need to inquire into the possession, as we are bound
to respect the rescripts of the deified Trajan and our lord Hadrianus Caesar
Augustus which
have been read."

THE PRIESTS OF SOKNEBTUNIS

Reports of Judicial Examinations.

Fr. (3)
20x39-7 cm.
A.D. 162.
In this section (291-315; cf. 383, 572, 576, 598-608, and 6II) we have
grouped together the papyri concerning the priests of Tebtunis, which with
a few exceptions were found in houses within the temple area. They contain
much new and valuable information, especially concerning the relations of the
temple to the government. We take the opportunity of again expressing to
Dr. W. Otto our thanks for his kindness in sending us before publication the
proof sheets of his comprehensive work Priester und Tempel im Hellenistischen
Aegypten, of which the first volume appeared in 1905.
The
'
principal deity in the famous' (Ao'ytjuoi;, 292. 5, &c.) temple at Tebtunis

was, as is usual in the Arsinoite nome, a form of the crocodile-god Sobk or
Suchus, worshipped in this case under the name Sowe^STwis, which is explained
by Spiegelberg as Sobk lord of Tunis,' the termination corresponding to -twis

He

identified
by a
curious assimilation
with the Greek god Cronos, whose cult has rarely been met with in Egypt,
one of the few instances being found in B. G. U. 952. 3, where Cronos at
SomeHeracleopolis corresponds to Qeb (cf. Wilcken, Archiv, ii. p. 317).

very doubtful. The Upov ôKvejSTvveoii d(ov fXy6Xov jxeydKov, which

second century B. C, is probably the Tebtunis temple (of. Part I, p. 543),

mention of Cronos. With Soknebtunis were associated Isis, Serapis, Harpocrates and other unnamed gods (298. 7).
Besides this temple there was at
Tebtunis a less important shrine dedicated to SokottixoVo-is, another form of Sobk,
where the priests seem to have been all deayoC (B. G. U. 1023). The priests of
Soknebtunis were divided into the customary five tribes (cf. 299. 8, where the
5th tribe is mentioned), and an elaborate list of them, giving various details about
each member of the corporation together with an account of the receipts and
expenditure of the temple, is contained in 298, an example, unfortunately
incomplete, of the ypa(f)al Upiu>v koI ûpia-p-ov which were annually sent to the
government, and of which several specimens concerning the temple of Socnopaei
Nesus are extant. Some fragments of a similar return by Traarotpopoi, who were
of inferior rank to the phyle-priests and were organized separately, are preserved
in 600.
At the time when 298 was written (a. d. 107-8), the most important
members of the board of at least ten 7rpe(r/3yrepoi who administered the temple
(309. 7, note) were two (rroAtorai Kpovov and a iTTepocjyopos but later the chief
dignitary in the temple was the -rrpoc^^rTjs, who held a position of considerable
emolument. On the nature of this office, which had to be purchased from the
government, and the rivalry of successive aspirants to it many interesting details
cf. 296-7, which are also concerned with a Trpo^Tjreta,
are supplied by 294-5
but apparently not the same one. 291-3 supplement in various ways the
evidence of the Berlin and Strassburg papyri concerning circumcision and the
other formalities connected with the tenure of the priesthood, while the two
letters 314-5 throw some interesting sidelights on the practices of the priests in

Tebtunis shrine to the great temple of Ra and Mnevis at Heliopolis, and gives
some details concerning the hierarchy there.
Of 291 there are two much mutilated columns, the upper part of the first
of which is represented only by a narrow strip (Fr. a), while that of the second
has entirely vanished, both containing accounts of examinations into the purity
of birth of certain priests, upon which depended their membership of the

the status of the priest's parents, and by the fact that his admission to the

From Cronion son of Pakebkis son of Harpocration, deputy prophet, and from
Maron son of Cronion son of Harpocration, and Maron son of Maron son of Marepsemis,
'
and Pakebkis son of Cronion son of Psoiphis, the three last being priests, all four from the
famous exempted temple of the village Tebtunis. With regard to the application presented
to you by Marepsemis son of Marsisuchus son of Harpocration, priest of the said temple,
requesting that his son Panesis by Thenpakebkis daughter of Panesis should be circumcised,
in reply to your inquiry whether he is of a priestly family and ought to be circumcised we
declare on oath by the fortune of Marcus Aurelius Commodus Antoninus Augustus that
he is in truth of priestly family, and that the proofs submitted by him are genuine, and
that he ought to be circumcised because he cannot perform the sacred oflBces unless this is
done
otherwise may we be liable to the consequences of the oath.

office either did not yet exist or was then vacant, and in the latter case the
vacancy may have been continuous from that year. According to the statements in 296 the successive offers for the ^po^jjreia increased from an original
bid of 100 drachmae (1. 8) to 200 dr. (1. 9), 520 dr. (1. 11), and eventually
to 64(0] dr. (1. 24), the last being with little doubt the bid of Marsisuchus

earlier bids can only be explained on the supposition that the revenue of the
office had recently been materially increased, and this circumstance is perhaps
alluded to in 11. 12-3 Kara to. c[e]Aev[o-]êVTa. But in view of the emoluments
of the prophet, Pakebkis' bid of 2200 dr. was by no means an extravagant one.
The
income, which represented one-fifth of the net revenue of the temple

(cf. note on 1. 27), is set down as 50 artabae of wheat, 9I artabae of lentils, and
60 drachmae, i. e. if the price of an artaba of wheat at this period be taken to be
about 10
dr. (cf. P. Brit. Mus. 131), and the value of lentils be reckoned as
approximately equivalent to that of wheat (cf. P. Tebt. I. p. 560), about 660 dr.
The price offered by Pakebkis was therefore only 3^ years' purchase. The sale
was to be in perpetuity, the heirs of Pakebkis having to pay only an entrance

Nesus temple was annually appointed by the priests, in the Ptolemaic period at any rate.

The follouîng document is concerned with the sale of the post of prophet
and other offices to a certain Harthotes (cf. 297. 6). The beginning is lost, and
what remains is: (i) a copy of a letter from a superior official, probably the
idiologus or his deputy (cf. 1. 5, note), to the strategus of the Hermopolite nome
directing that the offices sh6uld be handed over to Harthotes when the
purchase-money, amounting to a talent of silver, had been received, and (2)
a receipt for the full sum, part of which had been paid previously cf. note on

this point begins a list of Upf'is who had paid 52 drachmae for their office; the o-roXto-Tat

25. From the fact that Servianus Severus here and Lucius Tullius in 1. 27 have

and they may well
probable that they were of higher rank than that of strategus (cf. 1. 20),

cf. 294.
From the absence of an emperor's name the natural inference would be that
the current reign (Trajan's) is meant by the

But since the
5th year
tmKpiats took place shortly before the age of 14, and the priests mentioned in 11. 24 and 28
were aged respectively 75 and 74, the 5th year in both cases probably refers to the reign
of Claudius, i. e. 63 years before the dale of 298.
30-3. It is not certain whether these money payments were really for the benefit
of the temple, i.e. in some cases probably dpyvpiKol Xoyelat (cf. 1. 34, note), or were paid to
the priests in their capacity of tax-collectors for the government ; cf. 305. introd.

first hypothesis the payments by fishermen in 1. 33 may be compared with the income
derived by the temple of Socnopaeus a7r6 <l>6pov SikifVTiKoyu nXoimv (Wessely, op. cit. p. 72);
on the second view (which is less probable) the payments would refer to some tax on the

To
Longinus, decurion of the Arsinoite nome, from Pakebkis son of Onnophris

exempted priest of the famous temple in the village. On the
30th of the month Epeiph, when the hour was late, one Satornilus, with a great many
others, I know not why, having no complaint against us, picked a quarrel, going so far as to
rush in with staves, and seizing my brother Onnophris they wounded him, so that his life
is endangered in consequence.
Wherefore, sir, being careful for the danger to his life,
I submit this statement and beg you to order him (the perpetrator) to be brought before
you so that he may take the consequences, and that I may obtain the requisite satisfaction.

In the Tebtunis examples the tax upon the weaving trade, whether levied
upon yipbioi or y^pbiopa^biaTal, is collected by (TtirqprjTal UpariKOiv oivdv of Tebtunis

and the neighbouring villages, a title which has not been found previously. The
occurrence of these officials as collectors is no doubt to be connected with the
mention of a payment {v-n'kp) y^pbioav in the account of temple expenditure (298.

the priests to other persons, though there is not the slightest indication that the
persons who bought it were the tax-payers themselves, as is supposed by Wilcken
and Otto in the case of the yvacpiKrj at Socnopaei Nesus, nor, apart from the
mention of a payment for y^pbioi in the temple accounts and the UpaTtKoi (Lvai in
305, is there any reason for thinking that the payers of the x"P'>i'aîoi; yepbioiv at
Tebtunis were working on behalf of the temple. It may also be noted that the
absence of the xf tpôvtifioi^ yepUoiv from the Socnopaei Nesus temple budget, coupled
with the mention of it in the Soknebtunis budget and the fact that the priests
at Socnopaei Nesus, as is known from P. Amh. 119, paid that tax, is very hard
to reconcile with Otto's explanation of the receipts from trades in Wessely's R. 8
(op. cit. p. 71), for if they really refer to trades in the service of the temple, the
yiphioi certainly
ought to have been included.
On
Wilcken's view that those
trades were not connected with the temple beyond the fact that the taxes on
them were collected through the agency of the priests, there is no difficulty, for

That the payer of the poll-tax was a priest is probable both from his name,
Pakebkis son of Harpocration (cf. e. g. 293. i), and the following mention of the
i-niaraTiKhv Upimv
he was therefore not one of the 50 a-nokvcniioL cf 292. 6, note.
The amount paid, %% drachmae 4 obols, is unusual. 20 drachmae is by far the
commonest sum found for this impost in the FayOm (cf. e.g. P. Brit. Mus. 170^
and 617-37), though instances occur of 40 drachmae (P. Brit. Mus. 261. i. 14
d. 638), 16 dr. (353. introd.), 8 drachmae (354. introd,), and perhaps 24 dr. (348. 6
and 1 1). No mention is made here of the npoa-hiaypaôyiiva, which were regularly
:
10 obols upon 20 drachmae, and it is possible (though not likely) that they
are included in the 22 dr. 4 ob.
The l-nnTTaTiKov Up(av, a tax paid by priests, was explained by Wilcken
{Osf. i. p. 366) as an impost for the salary of the epistates of the temple, in place
of which view we have suggested (Part I. p. 40) that it was a payment for the
privilege of having an epistates.
Otto (op. cit. i. pp. 238-9, ii. pp. 47-8) agrees

but thinks the tax was paid by the priests for the privilege
of choosing their own epistates. The amount of the tax was large, 5500 drachmae
being annually paid for it by the temple of Socnopaeus (B. G. U. 337. 2 corrected

These differences are in our opinion too great to allow the identification
of the two taxes, especially as Wilcken's view that the reXo? ixoaxov dvo\ihov
was paid by priests is now hardly tenable. The evidence on which h relies, the
;
supposed connexion of viro in B. G. U. 383 with dvo}xiv(a[v] rathea* than with

biypa.(f)r], and the name YlaKvcris YIaKva(os tov 'Epiecos in B. G. U. 463, is very
slight, and is outweighed by the fact that in P. Fay. 244 the tax-payer is a
Roman, Gaius Papirius Maximus,who can hardly have been a priest at Socnopaei
Nesus. We prefer to interpret the re'Aoy ixoaxov Ovofxevov as an impost upon the
person who offered the sacrifice, and the Sc/car?; ixoa-yjmv as a tax levied upon
the priests of xV of the profits obtained by them from calves offered for sacrifice
at the temple.
The Ptolemaic impost called Updov, which Wilcken connects
with the riKos y-oayov dvoixevov, is to be explained differently, being really

This document, which for the first time shows the revenue

The papyrus was probably required for the manufacture of writing-material,
an industry in which it would be natural for the priests to take part. The
revenue derived from this manufacture was called the xapTr]p6., which in Ptolemaic
times was farmed out to Ti\5>vai (140, P. Petrie III. 115 cf. B. G. U. 377. ii. 11
and Wilcken, Archiv, i. p. SS'^)> and the industry was very likely controlled
or even monopolized by the government, in which case the priests may have

'The 1 8th year of the Emperor Caesar Trajanus Hadrianus Augustus, the 4th intercalary day of the month Caesarius, at Theogonis in the division of Polemon of the
Arsinoite nome,
Onnophris son of Pakebkis, priest of the temple of the god Cronos
at Tebtunis, aged about 60, having a scar on his left wrist, has leased to Taorseus
daughter
of Cronion, aged about 38, with no distinguishing mark, with her guardian who is her
kinsman, CoUuthus son of Paopis, aged about 60, having a scar on his right knee, out of
the public temple land registered under the name of Onnophris at Tebtunis, the two
arourae, or whatever be the number, in one lot in the so-called Newly-planted field.
This lease is for 19 years more after the period of the other leases previously granted
to Taorseus by Onnophris, which shall remain valid, in return for all the public dues and
extra payments and transport charges for the expedition of corn, which Taorseus shall pay
to the State annually, and Onnophris shall guarantee her with every guarantee because
Onnophris has been persuaded by Taorseus by the consideration which he has received.
The signatory is Pakebkis the son, since his father writes slowly. I, Onnophris son of

The following letter is of more than ordinary interest and illustrates both
the relation of the temple administration to the State and the conduct of
persons in positions of trust. The recipient, who was evidently a priest connected with the temple finance, is warned by the writer, probably a superior,
that a government inspector was on the point of arriving.
There was however
no ground for alarm, as the writer would avail himself of his good relations
with the inspector to get his friend's books through the official scrutiny.

Declarations by Ephebi.

X 307 cm.

Some interesting information concerning the conditions and formalities of

the enrolment of ephebi in the Alexandrian demes is afforded by the following
text, which consists of a series of declarations on oath made by ephebi some time
after their registration had taken place.
In these affidavits, which are all dated
in the same year and follow the same formula, the ephebus, after a statement of
and deme, the number of his symmory and the name of its symmoriarch, firstly asseverates that he had been admitted sixteen years previously
to the ranks of the ephebi and to the symmory specified, that no fraud had been
used, and that he had received an official certificate
secondly, gives full
particulars of his parentage, the citizenship of his mother, whether Alexandrian
or Roman, his trade, age, and distinguishing marks and thirdly, promises to
notify the symmoriarch if he should change his present place of residence.
The most singular point in these declarations is the ages of the ephebi.
The analogy of the Athenian practice would have led one to expect that boys
registered in the same year would be of approximately the same age, and that

The facts here are far otherwise. Not only do
the ages given show a considerable disparity the widest interval is eleven years

the present occasion the sanction of one of the chief Alexandrian magistrates

was obtained for the appointment (o-vorao-ts) may be due to a desire for greater
security or perhaps to the circumstance that the writer, though an inhabitant of

very likely at Alexandria.

To Titus Flavius Artemidorus, neocorus of the great Serapis, ex-cosmetes, priest and
exegetes, and the Caesarii and the other prytaneis, from Thenheraclia daughter of Heracleus
son of Onnophris, her mother being Herois, from the village of Tebtunis in the division
*
of Polemon of the Arsinoite nome, with her guardian, her brother Heracleus the younger,
from the same village. Being unable at the present time to make the voyage to the
Arsinoite nome, I appoint in my stead by the present memorandum the other brother of
myself and Heracleus, being also my husband, Heracleus the elder, who is present and consents to this appointment, to sail up to the aforesaid nome and to appear before the strategus
of the divisions of Themistes and Polemon or before his highness the procurator of the
Imperial estates, Ulpius Heraclides, whenever he visits the nome, or before his highness the
epistrategus or before any other judges before whom it may be necessary to come, against
both Heron also called Sarapion, ex-exegetes of Arsinoe, the heir of Turbon, ex-exegetes
of the said city, in connexion with the 38 arourae at Oxyrhyncha in the said division which
are unjustly held by him and belong to Heracleus in accordance with his claim of ownership, and also against Menches and Sansneus of the village of Kerkesucha-on-desert in the
same division concerning a lease of pastures, and to carry out everything.
Wherefore
I request you to give instructions to the officials in charge of these matters or whomsoever
else it may concern, in order that if Heracleus appears before them they may act with him
while carrying out everything in my name during my absence, just as I should have the
right to do if I were present, for I consent to these provisions.'

daughter of Cronion, a settler, registered in the quarter of Therapia, with the guardian
whom I have voluntarily chosen through
priest and exegetes, Achilleus son of ... my
and paternal uncle. In ... of the 2nd year of Antoninus Caesar the lord I lodged in
the public bank to the account of the nomarch for the fisheries-tax on the marshes of
Tebelnu and Kerkesis and the associated villages, which marshes were conceded ... for
two years to Theon son of Theon of the Propapposebastian tribe and Althaean deme and
to Heraclides also called Ninnus, son of Mysthes, on behalf of one of them, namely
Heraclides also called Ninnus, son of Mysthes, in respect of the share falling to him of
what was hypothecated (?) in connexion with the aforesaid concession, the sum of
I talent 11 00 drachmae of silver.
And whereas by an agreement made between myself and
Theon and Heraclides also called Ninnus in the present 3rd year of Antoninus Caesar the
lord on the 15th of the month Phaophi, Theon undertook the entire management of the
tax for the said year, after paying to me the sum deposited as aforesaid by me on account

To Aurelius Sereniscus also called Hermesias, strategus of the divisions of Themistes

and Polemon of the Arsinoite nome, from Aurelius Polion, sitologus of the village of
Tebtunis.
Monthly summary for the month Thoth of the present 4th year of receipts
from the produce of the said year. The amount paid to us in this month for the general
revenue and the imperial estates is 176 artabae of wheat, 10 artabae of barley of which
the receipts from public land at Tebtunis are 129 art. of wheat, 10 art. of barley, from
cleruchs 37 art. of wheat, and on account of other villages in the division of Polemon,
from cleruchs at Kerkesephis 10 art. of wheat, making the aforesaid total. To this are
added on account of storage 2 per cent., making 3^ art. of wheat, i per cent, upon the
charge for storage -^ art. of wheat, and for the -^ artaba upon the charge for storage
art. of wheat, making the total for storage and other charges 3
3^ art. of wheat.'

him of the amount of seed-corn required to be advanced to certain inhabitants
of Theogonis (cf. 17. 5, note) who cultivated Crovv^n lands at Argias in the
division of Themistes.
The latter village was probably near the boundary
between the two divisions. The papyrus is remarkable on account of the curiously
minute fractions of thd artaba which occur in 11. 13-6 and the new technical
sense of vTT6kr]\}/i9 in 11. 12 and 15. The letter was written in the 4th year of
Antoninus (cf. 11. 5-6), probably in the first two or three months of it.

mentioned in two out of three entries (11. 5 and 11), and in the third the land is
declared to have become confused with property of the State (1. 16); cf. P. Brit.
Mus. 604, where the heading irXfovaa-fxcav /3a(riX(iK^s) is followed by a list of
names and amounts of arourae. It is to iiKeovaa-ôs in this sense that Wilcken's

From
(cf. 11. 9, II, and 14) it is probable that their holdings differed considerably in size, and the
impost would seem to be more general than it was in the second century b.c. In 576 a tax
upon catoeci of i artaba per aroura appears. Cf. the apraîa or dpraîfla which occurs in

Probably those three
instances all refer to the same impost, with which we should also connect the (tiiôXt) in
346. The nature of this tax on land is somewhat obscure; but 11. 11 and 13 and P. Fay.
263 show clearly that it is an independent tax, not an addition to another impost, as has
been suggested by Wilcken {Os/. i. pp. 193-4) in explanation of his Ost. no. 1472 (3rd cent.).

In favour of the restoration are (i) the suitability of the space; (2) the fact that the

amount paid, 73 A artabae, which is very near 75 and fits in with the hypothesis that Cronion

among which are a number of payments on account of taxes. The imposts
specified are aAieuriKa, apiOfirjTiKov, (})6peTpov, and Aiviktj, the last of which is
otherwise unattested cf. 1. 12, note.
Several of the entries remain obscure,
one cause of the uncertainty being the frequent use of abbreviations. Portions
of three columns remain, and the middle one, which we print, is nearly
complete. Those adjoining contain no more than the ends and beginnngs of

following year; of the land near Ibion the rent is 25 artabae of barley yearly, with no
allowance for seed, and of the land near Berenicis 160 drachmae of silver for the 4th year,

Oxyrhyncha and weavers' tax and wages we will produce our brother Pasion to stay with

perform all that he is bidden, and at the end of the period we will repay the 16 drachmae

the wheat is stated to be a-vvayopaa-TiKos, l. e. part of the wheat purchased by the

with the guardian, whom I choose voluntarily through you, namely Cronion son of Heron
son of Zosimus, from the Treasuries' quarter. I am to receive from Taopis daughter of

Satornilus son of Tyrannus, and from Melanous daughter of Harpocration son of Chaeremon,

no assignable guardian, as my husband Ptolemaeus with whom I live is away, and my
father is no longer living, nor is my grandfather, and I have no brother or son. I therefore

appoint a Kvpios. That the circumstances of the present application were unusual is clearly
proved by 1, 25, where Tyrannis states that her husband (i. e. her normal Kvpiot) was
absent and that she had no near relatives, whence arose the necessity for appointing as
temporary guardian ad actum (cf. I. 20, note) a person who apparently was merely a friend.
Probably in P. Oxy. 56 also the request for a Kxipwi npos povr^v ravrrjv ttjv oiKovopiav was due
to a temporary inability of the normal Kvpios to act.
The view that a woman was required
to make a fresh application for a Kvpios on every occasion when she wished to be party
to a formal contract (Weiss. Archi'v, iv. p. 90) is most improbable in itself and inconsistent
with 397. 25, which indicates that if the husband or near relative had been available no
application would have been necessary.

Part of an account rendered by a commission which had been appointed by

the senate (of Arsinoe) to superintend the collection of dues of oôs, i. e. vinegar

The annona, which was part of the
revenues in kind (cf. 404), was used for both civil and military purposes and
included products like corn, hay, and wine

accounts (cf. e.g. B. G. U. 14. ii. 13), does not seem to have previously appeared

To Aurelius Nemesion, agent, greeting. I have written to you on other occasions to

remind you about the work, and I have heard that you have received the aracus from Amatius.
So now as was ordered let the aracus and grass-aracus go alone to Tbeklutis for seed.
Do not neglect the oxen or work them hard, for you know as well as I that they are underfed.
For I ordered you, when I came up, to go to Nemera in the Oxyrhynchite nome to look
for hay, and you have not yet told me about it, so I am at present very anxious. If you find
any piu-chasers of the surplus donkeys get rid of as many as three. I wrote to you to send
the animals laden with hay to Heron, so if you have not received the sheep for folding with
you (?) do you provide the animals. If the cultivators come to you wanting seed, tell me at
once in order that I may send a few measures to them from somewhere. Let me tell you
that I have bought the two arourae of Regnuti
daughter of Labeo ; so go there for their

permission of Dr. Kenyon most of the text of the

Mus. 372, an interesting papyrus of the second century
giving directions how to calculate several taxes, but unfortunately in a very

imperfect condition. The largest fragment, (a), contains two nearly complete
sections relating to the calculation of the naubion-tax upon catoeci and ha<î<noi
(cf. 352 and 325. 5, note) together with various extra charges associated with it.
This impost, which is here shown to be at the rate of sometimes 100, sometimes
150 copper drachmae on the aroura, was connected with the construction of
dykes and

section concerning a tax which is paid in corn, and Fr. {b) contains parts of two
other sections referring to imposts in kind all three perhaps relate to different
branches of the land-tax, but owing to their incompleteness the nature of the

Some
difficulties arise in
regard to the evidence, mainly
referring to the Byzantine period and in unpublished documents, from the Rainer
and Paris collections. These were largely derived from the first 'Faijumfund,'
which really consisted of papyri chiefly from the Fayum, but partly from Heracleopolis and to a less degree from Hermopolis, so that with respect to some
Byzantine place-names it is doubtful whether they refer to the Arsinoite rather
than to the Heracleopolite or Hermopolite nome. The Paris papyri published
by Wessely so long ago as 1889 in Denkschr. d. k. Akad. in IVt'en, Band xxxvii,
have never been revised, and of the names included in the index in pp. 8-15 of

most of the Petrie papyri, the rest of the Petrie collection having been obtained
from Hawara. The next best collections of cartonnage are those of Tebtunis

division into pagi quite ignored the old division into fxeptbe^, for
while Narmouthis and probably Ampeliou were in Po/., Bubastus, Onniton, and
probably Pelkeesis and Arsinoe were in Her. (Kerkesuchon Oros may be either
in Her. or Po/.).
Moreover Bubastus, which was not far from Lake Moeris, and
Narmouthis, which was in the south-west, seem to have been somewhat widely
separated villages, and this pagus appears to have been a long and rather
narrow strip, since at least six more pagi have to be accommodated. This is not
a very satisfactory hypothesis, and seeing that Philadelphia, the site of which is
definitely known and which was probably near Bubastus (cf. p. 373), was in the
second pagus, while Bubastus itself is supposed to be in the sixth, the correctness
of Wessely's interpretation of P. Rainer Geo. 183 is open to doubt.

of the province, in which the geographical questions become much more complicated. Not indeed that there is any lack of evidence for place-names. Among
the numerous Byzantine papyri which have been published, mainly by Wessely,
or utilized by him for geographical purposes are several long lists of Arsinoite
villages; and compared with 154 villages for the period prior to A.D. 300, he

a geographical arrangement of the villages is traceable, but even in these the

evidence is often conflicting, and only in a few cases does it seem safe to infer
the approximate position of the doubtful villages from the company in which
they occur. The most useful lists appear to be (i) P. Rainer A. N. 499, a list

One of the chief problems in the geography of the Fayum during the
Byzantine period is the relation of the Arsinoite to the Theodosiopolite nome.
Wessely (pp. 23-4) claims to have solved the difficulty by his theory that
the Theodosiopolite nome from its creation by Theodosius to the end of the
fifth century corresponded to the former /lepi's of Pol., but was disappearing

In
Part I, pp. 401-1 we proposed to identify it with IlroA. "Op/xou, which
almost certainly corresponds to Illahiln, where the Bahr Yusuf enters the

the chief harbour of the province.
Wessely wishes to place FItoA. Evepy. at

(identified by him with the canal Motpts 17 Trpds YItoX. Evcpy. at Socnopaei
Fayum, and where the
Nesus mentioned in Papyr. Script. Graec. Specim. 30. 5) takes off from the
Bahr Yusuf. But to both these identifications there are several objections
(i) the fxr]Tp6iTo\Ls of the Arsinoite nome in the third century B.C. and in the
Roman and Byzantine periods was undoubtedly Crocodilopolis-Arsinoe, and
for the alteration of the capital of a nome there is no parallel
(2) in no
case where TItoA. Evfpy. is mentioned is its /xepi's ever stated, a circumstance which is intelligible enough while it was the metropolis (cf. p. 354),
but is very difficult to reconcile with the view that it was in the Roman
:
period a village
(3) while ITtoA. Evcpy. continued in the Roman period
to be a most important place of business, where numerous contracts
;
were written and some of the chief official banks were situated (e. g.
350. 3 and 587), yet there is not a single instance of a person living or
holding property there, nor any indication that nroAe/xai? "Opfxov, which
We have therefore
is also constantly mentioned, was identical with it.
abandoned the explanation put forward in Part I, pp. 410-1, and propose
what at first sight seems a more difficult theory, that IlroA. Evepy. was
another name for Crocodilopolis-Arsinoe. This identification will at once
remove the difficulty caused by the supposed transferences of the \xr]Tp6it
TToAts from Crocodilopolis to ITroA. Evepy. and back to Crocodilopolis
will also account for the remarkable fact that, while in early Ptolemaic
and Byzantine times numerous contracts were written at CrocodilopolisArsinoe, not only in late Ptolemaic times, when flToA. Evepy. was in any
