The paper centres on two primary inquiries concerning enslaved individuals in Ptolemaic Egypt, utilising the Zenon archive as a case study: Firstly, what were the sources of enslaved individuals during the Ptolemaic period, as investigated using the Zenon archive? Secondly, what insights can be drawn from the names of enslaved individuals documented within the archive? The paper will employ a mixed-methods approach for an analysis of the documents related to slavery in the Zenon archive. Both quantitative and qualitative methods will be utilised to answer the research questions. The quantitative analysis will involve the compilation and analysis of data related to the origins of enslaved individuals, such as their geographic origins and the ways through which they were enslaved. Meanwhile, quantitative and qualitative will involve a detailed examination of the names of enslaved individuals documented within the archive.

The act of declaring properties for taxation and other objectives was not a novel concept in Egypt prior to the ascension of the Ptolemaic dynasty. Nevertheless, the Ptolemies developed this practice and broadened its scope to encompass nearly all aspects of life during their reign. The process of registering properties was overseen by the state officials through the anagraphai, while individuals were mandated to submit their own declarations, known as apographai. This paper specifically focuses on the property declarations known as apographai.

The document I publish in this article is an official letter from a certain Apollonios, probably a tax farmer, to a Poseidonios who was presumably a τραπεζίτης; the latter is ordered to receive from Psenesis son of Pasis 172 copper drachmas and 3 obols . The order was issued according to a διαγραφή from Spartakos, the ἐπιμελητής. The exact reason for this payment is not mentioned.

In this book, the intricate administrative apparatus of Ptolemaic Egypt comes to light. The study delves deeply into the pivotal roles of the epimeletes, a signi cant administrative o cial operating at the nome level. This o cial was tasked with supervising a diverse array of functions that held paramount importance in ensuring the nancial stability and control of the Ptolemaic state. Throughout the book's six chapters and four appendices, the evolution of the epimeletes' responsibilities, and the relationships with other o cials are meticulously analysed. Throughout the book, readers are taken on a journey through the third and second centuries B.C., witnessing the epimeletes' involvement in agricultural matters, taxation, monopolies, and more. The book highlights the intricate relationships the epimeletes maintained with various administrative tiers, military o cials, and police authorities, shedding light on the collaborative nature of Ptolemaic governance.
