Worträtsel, Etymologie und Ideologie in der Ektheosis Arsinoes des Kallimachos

Zsolt Adorjáni

Page range: 233-245

Abstract

In this paper I try to demonstrate that Callimachusʼ commemorative poem in honour of the deceased queen Arsinoe II capitalizes heavily on the notorious Hellenistic penchant for verbal puns. In addition, it will be argued that etymologic and anagrammatic devices are not only contrived for their own sake, but are part and parcel of the poemʼs meaning contributing to its poetic and ideological agenda.

Gabriel Nocchi Macedo

Poll Tax Rates in Roman Egypt

Peter van Minnen

Page range: 302-317

Abstract

Discussion of the various poll tax rates in Roman Egypt, which can be reduced to a simple scheme drawn up by the Romans upon their conquest of Egypt. This scheme suggests that in 30 BC the distribution of the population in Egypt was roughly uniform except for the Fayyum (underpopulated) and the western oases (overpopulated), possibly also Thebes (overpopulated). It also suggests that in 30 BC the distribution of the Greek population was uneven, with virtually no Greeks in Upper Egypt, possibly also the oases, and fewer Greeks in Oxyrhynchus than in other metropoleis in Lower and Middle Egypt.

Per una rilettura di BGU I 249

Gianluca Bonagura

Page range: 318-324

Abstract

The article presents a couple of textual observations to BGU I 249, a letter from the gymnasiarch Chairemon to his estate manager in Bakchias Apollonios. It also explores the letter’s relationship to BGU I 248, another piece of the correspondence between Chairemon and Apollonios which can be compared for similar content and notable expressions of affection.

Facial Scars in the Greek Papyri

Minas Papakostas, Nikos Litinas, Eleni Konsolaki, Constantinos Trompoukis

Page range: 325-335

Abstract

The indication of the location of a scar or scars on various parts of a body was used for the identification of persons in a large number of Greek non-literary documents. Facial scars were mentioned most frequently, obviously because they were the most distinguishing feature of the parts of the body that were not usually covered, and one could observe and record them immediately. However, the exact shape and form of these scars was not described, and only the general term “scar” was used. Various diseases and accidental wounds can be understood as having left permanent scars on the body, but mainly, and more specifically, on the head.

BnF Copte 129 (20) fol. 178 is a codex sheet containing several healing prescriptions. The first text is a fumigation recipe for a gynaecological issue including a prayer to be spoken during this procedure, the second is a prayer for healing deafness referring to Malchus, and the third is an unknown prescription.

More New Accounts and Lists from Bawit in the Palau-Ribes Collection

María Jesús Albarrán Martínez, Leia Jiménez Torres

Page range: 379-401

Abstract

Εdition of three Coptic accounts (P. PalauRib. inv. 87r, 87v and 448) and three Coptic lists (P. PalauRib. inv. 408 [Coptic-Greek], 393v and 437v) from the Palau-Ribes collection (Barcelona) which can be linked to the Apa Apollo Monastery in Bawit. Despite being in a highly fragmentary state of conservation, we will analyse those aspects and characteristics which suggest that these documents belonged to the internal administration of the monastery.
