This volume publishes fifty-four Ptolemaic papyri from the Fayum
and Middle Egypt, with English translations and extensive
commentaries. The texts, dating from c. 250-150 BC and written in
either Greek or Egyptian demotic, record lists of adults, ordered
by village, occupation and social group, and by household, together
with the taxes paid on their persons, their livestock and trades.
Some are more than twenty columns long. All texts have been studied
on the originals by an international team of scholars. Many are
published here for the first time; the others have been extensively
revised with numerous new joins between fragments. Lists of
tax-payers and their payments provide a wealth of information on
population and family structure, administrative practice, social
and professional groups and naming practices. Providing the
documentary basis for the historical studies of Volume II, P. Count
is essential for any serious evaluation of that account.
