Streetwise in Soknopaiou Nesos: Unpublished Greek papyri from street II-200, Soknopaiou Nesos, Egypt

Master thesis | Classics and Ancient Civilizations (MA)

The thesis presents descriptions, editions, translations and notes of ten unpublished Greek papyri (nine documentary, one literary) from the 2nd and 3rd century AD from Soknopaiou Nesos, Egypt. The documentary texts are then placed in their historical context, concerning administrative affairs, religious sacrifice and custom's duties; as well as in their archaeological context, as all papyri have been found in a single street (II-200) during excavations by the University of Michigan in 1931-32. The thesis provides new information on several published papyri from Soknopaiou Nesos, on the ancient village itself, and on the possible nature of street II-200.
