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.Show less
