The author lays out the early Ptolemaic tax system, describes the
changes in the capitation taxes during the reign of Ptolemy II,
discusses the other state and temple revenues, and then
reconstructs the prosopography and provenance of thirty-nine tax
payers whose names occur frequently in these initial studies.
Having then set the stage, the author provides editions of
sixty-one ostraca from Harold Nelson's collection that include an
important group of early Ptolemaic Demotic, Greek, and bilingual
ostraca, mostly tax receipts. One late Ptolemaic account ostracon
(Cat. no. 3) is also published here since it concerns the business
of choachytes, who figure prominently in the group of early
Ptolemaic ostraca. The book concludes with full indices, and each
of the ostraca is illustrated in drawing and photograph.
