The historical studies of this second volume provide an examination
of the economic and social history of Ptolemaic Egypt. The salt-tax
registers of P. Count not only throw light on key aspects of the
fiscal policy of the Greek pharaohs but also provide the best
information for family and household structure for the Western
world before the fifteenth century AD. The makeup of the population
is thoroughly analysed here in both demographic and occupational
terms. A constant theme running throughout is the impact of the
Greeks on the indigenous population of Egypt. This is traced in
cultural policies, in administrative geography, in the realm of
stock-rearing and in the changing religious affiliations traceable
through the names that parents gave their children. The extent to
which Egypt is typical of the Hellenistic world more widely is the
final topic addressed.
