8 INTRODUCTION The primary goal of this publication is to provide a comprehensive and up-todate catalogue of the villages and hamlets of the Oxyrhynchite nome, the administrative region of Graeco-Roman Egypt centred around the city of Oxyrhynchus (modern al- Bahnasa). Although the majority of Oxyrhynchite papyri were excavated from the rubbish mounds of the city itself, they preserve the names of several hundred rural settlements (villages, hamlets, farmsteads) from its wider territory. The principal reference of Oxyrhynchite villages hitherto has been Paola Pruneti s fundamental I centri abitati dell Ossirinchite. Since its publication almost three decades ago, however, a great number of papyri attesting Oxyrhynchite settlements, both new and known, have been published and various corrections have been made to some of the instances listed in that work. For evidence postdating Pruneti s catalogue, the thorough scholar has been obliged to consult the (now five) Supplementi to Calderini-Daris, Dizionario dei nomi geografici e topografici dell Egitto greco-romano, the Heidelberg WörterListen of recently published papyri, 1 and volumes VIII XII of the Berichtigungsliste. Furthermore, some important studies on the topography of the Oxyrhynchite nome have appeared in the past two decades (see the Bibliography). It has seemed useful therefore to present a new repertory of Oxyrhynchite settlements incorporating all these accretions as well as contributing some new suggestions and corrections. It will hopefully facilitate further study of the historical topography of the nome and aid papyrologists editing or studying Oxyrhynchite texts. In view of the high turnout of Oxyrhynchite papyri, particularly in The Oxyrhynchus Papyri series, a digital publication has been deemed preferable to a printed book, as it will allow the catalogue to be revised and updated at regular intervals in light of new papyri, studies, and corrections. A secondary purpose of this work is to present synoptically the information recoverable from the papyri about individual villages. This information is presented in summary form under several categories (see below). But while every care has been taken 1 8

9 to make the list of a settlement s instances as accurate and comprehensive as possible, this second part cannot be taken to be exhaustive and does not obviate the need to reexamine the original publications for confirmation, greater details, and most importantly context. It is meant to serve merely as a rough guide or index to the sources, in order to allow papyrologists and historians to find references relevant to their particular interests without the need to sift through all the instances of a village. Like Pruneti s above-cited work, this catalogue does not list every attested rural toponym, 2 but solely centri abitati. There are several criteria for identifying a settlement in the papyrological record. The designation of a toponym, if given or preserved, is usually the most obvious indication. 3 The terms kome (village) and epoikion (hamlet) are the standard and unambiguous designations of rural settlements. 4 Toponyms genitivally dependent on the word topoi designate the centre of a district for the collection of the grain tax and were relatively important villages. 5 The terms chorion and ktema are more ambivalent and are not by themselves sufficient to identify a settlement, since they frequently qualify viticultural sites that were not necessarily nucleated or permanent settlements. 6 Other possible pointers of inhabited centres are 2 For other toponyms see the references in Verreth, Survey of Toponyms, or the more up-to-date entries on the Trismegistos database: 3 For an analysis of the percentages and chronological repartition of settlements designations, see Krüger, Oxyrhynchos in der Kaiserzeit In the Ptolemaic and early Roman periods, epoikia were essentially by origin tied or estate villages, as opposed to the independent komai, although it is clear that some developed into independent settlements, to be included in the Roman administrative lists of villages..., or elevated to the status of kome, as was Dositheou (Rowlandson, Oxyrhynchus and its hinterland 210). In the late antique period epoikia proliferate in the papyrological record and designate estate-owned hamlets that lacked the autonomous administrative institutions of komai; see J. Banaji, Agrarian history and the labour organisation of Byzantine large estates, in A. K. Bowman, E. Rogan (edd.), Agriculture in Egypt from Pharaonic to Modern Times (Oxford 1999) 206 7, and cf. Mazza, L archivio degli Apioni See R. Boehm, Contribution à l étude de l administration romaine en Égypte, Hermes 81 (1953) On the meaning of chorion, see R. S. Bagnall, The date of P. Kell. I G. 62 and the meaning of χωρίον, CE 74 (1999) (cf. esp. p. 332: the dominant sense was that of non-inundated land, primarily used for growing tree crops of various sorts, but especially vineyards, and sometimes also containing farm buldings or equipment ), and Hickey, A Public House but Closed In the period following the Islamic conquest, the word χωρίον is used for most settlements in rural areas, especially in Middle Egypt, having become a generic term for separate fiscal districts in the hinterland of the pagarchies (the old 9

10 the description of a person as from (apo) a certain place, the identification of a toponym by membership to an administrative subdivision of the nome, and the description of a toponym as under the administration of a functionary (e.g. a village scribe or sitologos). Some toponyms whose status as settlements is uncertain are also listed; see below under Name on how these are marked. The chronological framework of the catalogue is the Graeco-Roman period broadly defined, from the third century BCE to the eighth century CE. The catalogue is based primarily on documentary sources of the period, essentially Greek papyri and ostraca. Some tentative identifications of villages in the Demotic ostraca from Oxyrhynchus (housed chiefly in Pisa) are also listed. 7 Occasional literary instances are signaled and, when appropriate, references are made to Timm, Das christlich-koptische Ägypten, for late Coptic and Arabic literary sources. The following is a brief explanation of the structure of the entries and the categories of information abstracted from the papyri: Name. The name of the settlement is usually given in its most common or (in the case of Greek toponyms) its etymologically correct form. Toponyms that are fossilized genitives, e.g. personal names or occupations genitivally dependent on a word like epoikion or kome, are lemmatized as such (Ϲατύρου sc. ἐποίκιον, the hamlet of Satyros ; Ἀκτουαρίου sc. ἐποίκιον, the hamlet of (the) actuarius ). When a toponym is attested only in the genitive and it is unclear whether it is a fossilized genitive or not, or if the nominative form is otherwise uncertain (e.g. Παγγουλεείου, nom. Παγγουλέειοϲ or Παγγουλέειον?), the word is kept in the case in which it appears. The most frequent or important graphic variants are lemmatized in the catalogue itself with cross-references; others are given in Index II. For accentuation I have followed the rules laid down by W. Clarysse, Greek accents on Egyptian names, ZPE 119 (1997) (Egyptian toponyms without a Greek ending are not accented). nomes) (N. Gonis, BMCR review of Falivene, The Herakleopolite Nome, in On the sense of ktema as a walled enclosure (often a vineyard) as opposed to the open fields, see D. Rathbone, Economic Rationalism and Rural Society in Third-Century A.D. Egypt (Cambridge 1991) On these see Zauzich, Enchoria 15 (1987)

11 The following system of stars, placed before the toponym, is used to mark doubtful Oxyrhynchite settlements: * = the membership of the village in the Oxyrhynchite nome is uncertain. ** = the status of the toponym as a settlement is uncertain. *** = both Oxyrhynchite membership and status as toponym are uncertain. Trismegistos URL. Every toponym is given a unique number ( Geo ID ) and card in the file Places of the online Trismegistos database. 8 The URL under each lemma in the catalogue corresponds to the relevant Trismegistos webpage, with a hyperlink allowing easy transition from the catalogue to the database. Instances. The instances of each settlement are listed in chronological order. Entries in the Berichtigungsliste, where pertaining to the toponymn in question, and significant graphic variants beyond common phonetic spellings (e.g. iotacims) are noted between parentheses after the relevant instance. Dates should be assumed to be CE unless explicitly marked BCE. If not otherwise indicated, dates are those given by the Heidelberger Gesamtverzeichnis der griechischen Papyrusurkunden Ägyptens; 9 one should consult the relevant entry of HGV for references to the latest amendments of editorial dates. The column after the date records the Greek designation of the settlement where known (kome, epoikion, topoi, ktema, chorion; see above). The following sigla are used for these designations: < > = the designation is deduced from the gender of an accompanying article or adjective. [ ] = the designation is restored by the editor in a lacunose passage. Uncertain instances. Highly uncertain instances, where the toponym is restored on questionable grounds, or where its restoration is cautiously suggested in an editorial note. Delenda. Instances that were incorporated in Pruneti, I centri, or read afterwards, but whose reading is no longer correct. Older (i.e. pre-pruneti) delenda are not listed

12 Etymology/form. The proposed etymology of the toponym. Noteworthy forms and morphological peculiarities are also occasionally noted. Administrative subdivision. Up to 307/8 CE, the Oxyrhynchite nome was divided into six administrative areas called toparchies : Upper (southernmost), Western, Eastern, Middle, Thmoisepho, and Lower (northernmost). After 307/8 the six toparchies were replaced by ten pagi, which were numbered in a roughly ascending south-north sequence. The greater number of pagi means that the territories of most toparchies were subsequently included under two or more pagi. For an overview of the approximate layout, boundaries and sizes of these administrative subdivisions, see Rowlandson, Landowners and Tenants On the pagi see also P.Oxy. LV 3795 introd., Pruneti, Toparchie e pagi, eand., Ancora su toparchie e πάγοι dell Ossirinchite. A list of the villages for which the toparchy and/or pagus is known is presented in Index I. Arabic/modern counterpart. For most of the proposed identifications of ancient toponyms with modern ones I refer to Gomaà et al., Mittelägypten, except where other scholars or I have disagreed or made suggestions not appearing therein. Many of the identifications based solely on phonetic grounds are hypothetical and need to be confirmed against the internal evidence provided by the papyri for the relative location of the ancient settlement. Ancient settlements plausibly identified with modern sites are listed in Index V and are plotted on the maps at the end of this publication. Relative location. The location of the settlement relative to others on the basis of the internal evidence of the papyri, or more general associations between villages. Indications of geographical proximity range from the explicit qualification of a village as near another to inter-village disputes to the presence of inhabitants of one village as lessees of land in another (presumably neighbouring) village. 10 Villages that were part of the same prostasia (administrative district) of the extensive Apion estate are also assumed to have been close enough together to be managed conveniently by a single steward (pronoetes). 11 For a schematic representation of the relationships between some 10 For the latter phenomenon, cf. the remarks of Rowlandson, Landowners and Tenants J. R. Rea, P.Oxy. LV p. 96; cf. also Hickey, A Public House but Closed 258. On the Apionic prostasiai, see further Mazza, L archivio degli Apioni ,

13 villages, see also Krüger, Oxyrhynchos in der Kaiserzeit More recently, G. Ruffini, Social Networks in Byzantine Egypt (Cambridge 2008) ch. 2, has applied the tools of social network analysis to investigate the pattern of ties between Oxyrhynchite villages (in particular those connected with the Apion estate) in late antiquity. Position in official lists of villages. The immediate villages listed before and after the village in question in official or semi-official administrative lists and accounts (up to the fourth century only; the order in estate accounts, lists, etc. of the later period is not given). The order of villages in such lists does not necessarily correspond to a geographical organization. However, villages that are fairly consistently named after one another can often be assumed to have been relatively proximate, provided this can be confirmed by other indications such as identifications with modern toponyms or other documents closely associating the two places. See P.Wash.Univ. II 81 introd. pp for further discussion of the issue. Categories of associated lands. E.g. catoecic (katoikike), private (idiotike), royal (basilike), public (demosia), uninundated (abrochos), confiscated, etc. For a good review of the land category system of Roman Egypt and its development, particularly in relation to the Oxyrhynchite nome, see Rowlandson, Landowners and Tenants ch. 2 (with further bibliography). Cultures/agricultural products. E.g. wheat, wine, barley, the various fodder crops (chortos, arakos, chlora), vegetables, palm and other fruit trees, oil, cheese, etc. For an overview of the crops grown in the Oxyrhynchite nome, see Rowlandson, Landwoners and Tenants For more details on individual crops, see M. Schnebel, Die Landwirtschaft im hellenistischen Ägypten (München 1925). Note that the ubiquitous wheat is only signaled when it is explicitly attested as a crop (e.g. in leases); documents such as sitologos receipts and grain accounts are ignored. Associated kleroi. Kleroi were initially allotments granted to military settlers in the early Ptolemaic period. The names of the early settlers eventually became permanently linked with their allotments, so that even after the cleruchic system was superseded, kleroi continued to function as topographical designations, particularly to identify the location of a parcel of land in a village s territory. Only kleroi explicitly associated with particular villages are listed. On kleroi of the Oxyrhynchite nome, see 13

14 Pruneti, I κλῆροι del nomo Ossirinchite. On Greek settlement in Ptolemaic Oxyrhynchus, see further Rowlandson, Oxyrhynchus and its hinterland , and on fossilized kleros names in general, see F. Zucker, Beobachtungen zu den permanenten Klerosnamen, in Studien zur Papyrologie und antiken Wirtschaftsgeschichte Friedrich Oertel zum achtzigsten Geburtstag gewidmet (Bonn 1964) Irrigation. E.g. canals, dikes, mechanai, 12 lakkoi, irrigation work, etc. On the vocabulary related to irrigation, see D. Bonneau, Le régime administratif de l eau du Nil dans l Égypte grecque, romaine et byzantine (Leiden 1993). Topographical features. Buildings associated with the village, such as granaries, houses, workshops, or other features such as harbours, threshing floors, streets, dovecotes, etc. Note that granaries are listed only when they are explicitly attested, not when they are merely implied e.g. by giro transfer of grain through sitologoi. On the vocabulary of house architecture, see G. Husson, OIKIA: Le vocabulaire de la maison privée en Égypte d après les papyrus grecs (Paris 1983), and R. W. Daniel, Architectural Orientation in the Papyri (Pap.Colon. 34; Padeborn 2010). Animals. E.g. donkeys, sheep, goats, oxen, etc. Religion. E.g. Temples, priests, festivals, churches, monasteries, etc. See further Whitehorne, The pagan cults of Roman Oxyrhynchus, and Timm, Das christlichkoptische Ägypten. Officials. E.g. administrative and other officials, liturgists, police, village elders, etc. For the first to fourth centuries, see in general N. Lewis, The Compulsory Public Services of Roman Egypt 2 (Pap.Flor. 28; Firenze 1997). For the late antique period, see the useful excursus on Die Leitung der Dörfer in G. Schmelz, Kirchliche Amtsträger in spätantiken Ägypten nach den Aussagen der griechischen und koptischen Papyri und Ostraka (München 2002) Note that mechane can have either the strict sense of waterwheel or the extended one, common in the late antique period, of artificially irrigated plot of land ; see P.Oxy. LV 3803 introd. and Bonneau, Le régime

15 Occupations. E.g. traders, craftsmen, estate administrators, agricultural labourers, etc. For the Imperial period, see most recently K. Ruffing, Die berufliche Spezialisierung in Handel und Handwerk (Rahden/Westf. 2008). Noteworthy landowners. Important landowners and estates, e.g. office-holding Oxyrhynchites, Alexandrians, imperial estates, the aristocracy of late antiquity, etc. For some such landowners of the early Roman period, see Rowlandson, Landowners and Tenants (index), and A. K. Bowman in P.Thomas pp I have not usually included the evidence of private accounts in village granaries. For the Apion estate, whose large archive dominates the papyrological evidence of Oxyrhynchus from the end of the fifth to the beginning of the seventh centuries, see in general Mazza, L archivio degli Apioni and Hickey, A Public House but Closed (both have appendices listing some Apionic villages; for a more inclusive list see Index IV below). Military. E.g. Ptolemaic military settlers, veterans, etc. Taxes and other imposts. For the taxes of Roman Egypt up to the end of third century, the standard reference work remains S. R. Wallace, Taxation in Egypt from Augustus to Diocletian (Princeton 1938). Not listed are generic terms such as demosia, argyrika/chrysika or embole. Terms for which there is no standard English translation (e.g. chortos, mechane) are reported only in Greek, transliterated phonetically in italic Roman letters (th = θ; k = κ; y = υ but αυ/ευ/ου = au/eu/ou; ph = φ; ch = χ; no distinction between epsilon and eta, omicron and omega). Proper names, with the exception of Oxyrhynchus and Latin names, are usually transliterated in the same manner, but do not appear in italics (e.g. Kallistratos, Sinkepha). For very recent publications of papyri in journal articles that have not yet been incorporated in the Sammelbuch, I have checked the standard papyrological journals (Aegyptus 89, Anal.Pap. 21/22, APF 57, BASP 48, CE 86, Comunicazioni Vitelli 9, JJP 40, Tyche 26, ZPE 180), but may have missed some publications in other journals and volumes if they are not yet listed in the APF Urkundenreferate. It is inevitable that a compilation of this kind will contain errors and inaccuracies. Corrections and suggestions will be warmly welcomed. Editors of 15

16 Oxyrhynchite texts are also encouraged to signal relevant new publications to me for future editions of the catalogue. Please me at The first version of this work was completed in the first year (2008/9) of a Leverhulme Early Career Fellowship at the Faculty of Classics, University of Oxford. Revisions and updates for the second version were made during the tenure of a British Academy Postdoctoral Fellowship in at the same Faculty. I am greatly indebted to the Leverhulme Trust and the British Academy for their support. I also warmly thank Prof. Alan Bowman for his advice and encouragement, Dr Nikolaos Gonis, Prof. Todd Hickey and Dr Herbert Verreth for some corrections and additions, and the two anonymous referees for their comments. Finally, I am very grateful to the editors of Trismegistos Online Publications for accepting this work in their series. 16

P.Oxy concerns a dispute over whether a piece of land belongs to the taxable territory of Adaiou or Terythis (Eastern toparchy; 4 th pagus), suggesting that the two villages were close neighbours. Adaiou is in the same prostasia of the Apion estate as Matreou and Episemou (Upper toparchy; 3 rd pagus) [P.Oxy. 136, 2196]. Two men from Adaiou take under lease land in Oasitou, which could imply relative proximity between the two settlements [P.Mert. 17].

Episemou is coupled with Terythis (Eastern toparchy; 4 th pagus) in SB and is in the same Apionic prostasia as Adaiou (Eastern toparchy; 4 th pagus) and Matreou [P.Oxy. 136, 2196]. These indications suggest that it lay in the north-eastern corner of the Upper toparchy; see further Rowlandson, Landowners and Tenants 11. In P.Turner 25 a man from Episemou takes under lease fishing rights in Seryphis (Western toparchy; 3 rd pagus). The epoikion Sekoundou was probably in the vicinity [P.Oxy ].

The lease mentions wheat, chlora, lachanospermon, acacia trees, hydreumata, and a mechane. Ἐρῆμοϲ - Eremos P.Oxy. II (]τ οου Ἐρήμου) 37 <kome(?)> (6) Etymology: lit. desert village.

Relative location: the specification Κάτω indicates that the village lay in the northern part of the Lower toparchy (cf. Ἰϲιεῖον Ἄνω, also in the Lower toparchy, and see P.Oxy n.). In P.Oxy a dispute between Spania and Kosmou is mediated by Isieion Kato and Phebichis (Heracleopolite), suggesting relative proximity between these villages. The close association between Isieion Kato and some villages of the Heracleopolite nome (especially Phebichis) is also evident in SPP 1346 and P.Laur. 47. CPR XXII 3 is an uncertain case because, according to its editor, the village was west of Herakleopolis (assuming that the writer s point of departure was the city), which is too far north to allow an identification with the Oxyrhynchite Isieion Kato. Position in official lists of villages: between Talao and Psobthis [P.Oxy. 1285]; between Talao and Isieion Tryphonos [P.Oxy. 1529] Animals: donkey [P.Oxy. 4748]; horses [SPP 1346] Religion: distribution of alms (zakat) to the poor [P.Khalili I 1] Occupations: ergates (sent to Babylon) [P.Sijp. 37] Noteworthy landowners: Apion estate [P.Oxy. 1866(?)] Other: fugitives of the pagarchy are mentioned in CPR XXII 3, but it is unclear whether these people fled from or to Isieion Kato (see editor s introd.).

144 Relative location: named with Aktouariou(?) and Herakloasianou in P.Oxy Land in the fields of Mermertha (Upper toparchy; 1 st pagus) is περὶ Κεύωθειν [P.Oxy. 4091], implying close proximity between the two villages.

Similarly, in SB Keuothis is mentioned as belonging to the same nome as Toka, a village now known to have been transferred to the Cynopolite nome by 385 (see below s.v. Τοκα; as Rowlandson, Landowners and Tenants 14 n. 29, remarks, SB does not necessarily imply that Toka and Keuothis were close neighbours). The Keuothis occurring in P.Oxy has been considered to belong to the Oxyrhynchite nome and specifically to the 1 st pagus because it is mentioned in close connection with Mermertha (so P.Oxy n., LXIII n., Rowlandson, Landowners and Tenants 14 n. 29). This is not a necessary conclusion, however. Mermertha was in the east of the first pagus, on the right bank of the Apollophanes canal (see below s.v. Μερμερθα and cf. Rowlandson, Landowners and Tenants 12 with the map on p. xiv), and therefore not far from the western border of the Cynopolite nome. It is perfectly possible, then, that the fields of Mermertha in P.Oxy adjoined the border of the Cynopolite near Keuothis. There is thus no strong evidence that this village ever belonged to the Oxyrhynchite nome. The Keuothis mentioned in P.Lond. V (VI) is of uncertain provenance (Hermopolite? Cf. BL V p. 59).

195 Etymology/form: The formation Μοῦχιϲ Ταλη implied by P.Khalili I 1 (and now P.CtYBR inv. 1366) might well be the original: villages called Μοῦχιϲ are attested in various parts of Egypt, and we know a Heracleopolite village Ταλ(α)η (modern Talā), which was very close to the Oxyrhynchite border (Koites) (Gonis, CE 75 (2000) 130). Perhaps *Mḫj-n-ⲧⲁⲗ, the storehouse of the hill(?) (Vandorpe, Egyptische geografische elementen 117). Administrative subdivision: Lower toparchy Arabic/modern counterpart: Mūš Dal [P.Khalili I 1], not locatable on modern maps of Egypt. Relative location: P.Oxy. 3184(a) mentions a river-guard of our boundaries, suggesting that the village was close to the Bahr Yusuf (the Lower toparchy did not have a Nile frontage).

Dimšuwiya is almost on the same latitude as Herakleopolis = Ihnasiya al-madina and therefore too far north to have ever been in the Oxyrhynchite nome. Cultures/agricultural products: barley [SB 15491] Animals: pigs (it is unclear whether they belong to Mouchis) [SB 15491] Religion: priests(?)

The recent information provided by P.Mich. XX that Oxyrhynchite Mouchis was in the 5 th pagus (i.e. in what would have been the Eastern toparchy before 307/8) now decisively establishes that the two villages were distinct.

205 Administrative subdivision: Middle toparchy; R. S. Bagnall, Tyche 6 (1991) 37 43, suggests that the village may have been transferred to the Cynopolite nome in the fourth century. Relative location: in P.Oxy an acacia tree περὶ Πεενν ω (Middle toparchy) is designated by the komogrammateus of Nemera for purchase, and in P.Oxy a declaration of uninundated land around Peenno is addressed to the village scribe of Nemera and other villages ; the two villages must have been close neighbours. In P.Oxy. 3049B some officials(?) in Nemera are supposed to hand over wheat to the ships captains who shall be sent for it, suggesting that the village was relatively close to (but not necessarily on) the Nile or the Bahr Yusuf. In P.Leit. 1 nominees for a liturgy in Nemera are from Pamis, suggesting to the editor that the latter lay within the komogrammateia of Nemera. Pamis is thought to be a graphic variant of either Paomis (Thmoisepho toparchy; 8 th pagus) or Paeimis (Western toparchy; 4 th pagus); see below s.v. Πάμιϲ. The implication would be that Nemera was near the border between the Middle and Western toparchies or that between the Middle and Thmoisepho toparchies. (In the same document two other nominees are from Tholthis of the Lower toparchy, but, unlike those from Pamis, they are explicitly said to reside in Nemera.)

In P.Oxy the elders of Nesmimis designate for purchase acacia trees on the embankment of Enteiis and Thosbis, suggesting that these villages of the Upper toparchy lay close to one another (see ZPE 170 (2009) 189). Possibly by the Bahr Yusuf or the Nile [PSI 213].

ZPE 170 (2009) 188). Νῆϲοϲ - Nesos N.B.: J. D. Thomas, P.Oxy n., argues that the ktema Nesos in P.Mich. 792 cannot be identical to that of P.Oxy because the lessor in P.Mich. 792 is Aurelia Herais, whereas the homonymous ktema of P.Oxy belongs to Claudia Isidora alias Apia. Cf. also P.Mich n.: Vineyard and orchard properties were often named Nesos, or Island no doubt, in part, because they were situated on higher ground, so that, during the inundation of the Nile, such properties gave the appearance of being like islands, standing, as they did, above the floor fields (on the use of νῆϲοϲ to indicate land formed by fluvial deposits, see further Drew-Bear, Le Nome hermopolite 43, Falivene, The Herakleopolite Nome 6, Rowlandson, Landowners and Tenants 34.). At any rate, it is unclear whether the places called Νῆϲοϲ in 2) and 3) were actually hamlets or simply viticultural sites. 215

218 Etymology: νῆϲοϲ indicates that the land was formed by fluvial deposits; see Drew-Bear, Le Nome hermopolite 43, Falivene, The Herakleopolite Nome 6, Rowlandson, Landowners and Tenants 34 (with further references). Topographical features: all of the above papyri state or imply that Neson was a harbour on the Nile. Note: a village named Νήϲων is also attested in the Nepheros archive of the fourth century as a village of the Heracleopolite Nome; see Falivene, The Herakleopolite Nome s.v. Although none of these attestations identifies the village as a harbour (its proximity to the Nile is evident, however; cf.

Occupations: ergates (requisitioned for work in Alexandria) [P.Oxy. 4964] Ὀϲοροννώφριοϲ - Osoronnophrios P.Oxy. XLII , Etymology: Prof. Youtie remarks that the word occurs, in the form Ὀϲορνῶφριϲ, as a title of Osiris (see PWarren 21.3); and suggests that the village was a dependency of a temple of Osiris (P.Oxy n.). Strictly speaking, rather than a title of Osiris Ὀϲόρνωφριϲ = Ὀϲορόννωφριϲ is the name of Osiris himself (Osor-) followed by the second name or epithet Wn-nfr (Onnophris). Administrative subdivision: Eastern toparchy Relative location: within the administrative orbit of the village scribe of Phoboou (Eastern toparchy; 5 th pagus), along with other Eastern toparchy villages (Thmoinakomis, Thmoinepsobthis, Schoibis, Tychinnekotis) [P.Oxy. 3047].

P.Oxy. 2032, where Pangouleeiou and Maeiouma each have their own pronoetes]. The village will be near Seryphis in the Western toparchy, later in the third pagus, now identified with Ašruba... this speaks forcibly against Gauthier s identification of Panguleeiu vel sim. with Qulusuna, which is too far south and east of Ašruba (P.Oxy n., with reference to P.Harr. 137 and Gomaà et al., Mittelägypten 81). P.Oxy. 2243(a).68 73, in which some Apionic mechanai of Taampemou (Eastern toparchy; 5 th pagus) appear to be under the responsibility of the pronoetes of Pangouleeiou, implies that these two villages were also relatively near one III 235

236 another (cf. Mazza, L archivio degli Apioni 92 with n. 90; for the proximity of Seryphis and Taampemou, see P.Oxy with n.). Pangouleeiou, therefore, will have been in the border area between the former Eastern and Western toparchies. Such a location excludes an identification with Πάγκυλιϲ in the more southern 1 st pagus.

239 Uncertain instance: PꜢ-jm in P.Lille Dem. 5r.15 (244 BCE?) has been tentatively identified with Paeimis; see F. de Cenival, CRIPEL 13 (1991) 43. Etymology: the Egyptian name for Oxyrhynchus, Permedjet, may be echoed in the Greek name of the adjacent village Paimis (Rowlandson, Oxyrhynchus and its hinterland 208). Administrative subdivision: Western toparchy; 4 th pagus (see P.Oxy n.) Arabic/modern counterpart: Bani wal-lams(?) (Gomaà et al., Mittelägypten 86); but the order of villages in SB (as reconstructed by Rowlandson, Landowners and Tenants 12) suggests that Paeimis was south of Senekeleu, whereas the assumed (but not unproblematic) modern counterpart of the latter (Saqula) is south of Bani wal-lams (cf. P.Worp 22.6 n.); see further Rowlandson, Oxyrhynchus and its hinterland 208 n. 1. Relative location: land in the territory of Paeimis is said to be adjacent on the south to the parts of the metropolis along the desert and on the north to the circumference of the village ([γ]είτονεϲ νότου παρόρια τῆϲ πόλεωϲ, βορρᾶ περίμετρα τῆϲ κώμη[ϲ]) [P.Oxy (edd. ad loc.: from this is appears that Païmis was on the edge of the desert near Oxyrhynchus on the north )]; cf. also P.Oxy n., citing a Coptic text in which is mentioned a little χωρίον some 5 ϲτάδια on the east of Pemje (Oxyrhynchus), named ⲠⲀⲒⲘ in the Egyptian tongue. Within five miles of Pela and near Lenon [P.Oxy with Rowlandson, Landowners and Tenants 268 n. 186]. The Apionic epoikion Κtesis was nearby [SB 15364].

P.Oxy n.: From the name of Antipera Pela in the same toparchy we know that both villages stood by a considerable body of water, probably the ancient equivalent of the Bahr Yusuf (cf. the mention of fishing in the same papyrus). The location by the Bahr Yusuf is confirmed by P.Gen , 39, on which see Rowlandson, Landowners and Tenants 12: Pela was probably on the eastern bank; parts of its territory had the river both on the east and on the west and north-west, either because the river meandered or because the territory spanned both banks. Near Lenon and within five miles from Paeimis (both in the Western toparchy/4 th pagus) [P.Oxy. 4739; cf. Rowlandson, Landowners and Tenants 268 n. 186].

Named together with Kynopolis in P.Oxy. 3410, and together with Taampemou and Kynopolis in P.Oxy (cf. also BGU 2234, where a woman from Euergetis = Kynopolis declares uninundated land that she owns around Satyrou). In P.Oxy wheat from the granary of Sko (Upper toparchy) is embarked at the harbour of Satyrou. Perhaps near Pakerke (Eastern toparchy) and Menekratous [P.Oxy. 3046]. 308

Note, however, that the close association of Senekeleu with Seryphis (= Ašruba) and its position in the southern section of the Western toparchy (see below under Relative location) do not match well the identification with Saqula.

Rowlandson, Landowners and Tenants 13 n. 28) Arabic/modern counterpart: Ašruba (Gomaà et al., Mittelägypten 84), four miles east of Oxyrhynchus (P.Oxy n.). Relative location: in P.Oxy. 970 the representative of an Antinoopolite owner of land in Seryphis is from Pela (Western toparchy). Near Senekeleu (Western toparchy; 3 rd pagus) [P.Oxy. 1112, 3475 (both villages were in the southern section νοτίνη μερίϲ of the Western toparchy)]. The chorion Gaianou [P.Oxy. 1141] and the ktema Nesos [P.Mich. 792 with BL XII 126] were in the vicinity. In P.Oxy the strategus issues a joint order to the officials of Taampemou (Eastern toparchy; 5 th pagus) and Seryphis to embark some wood from a nearby location (Ionthis); this suggests that though situated in different toparchies, the two villages were probably near each other (edd. s introd.; cf. also 3 n.). Near Pangouleeiou [P.Harr. 137]. A villager from Kerkethyris (Western toparchy) takes under lease land in Seryphis [P.Oxy. 4747; cf. Rowlandson, Landowners and Tenants 12]. In PSI 739 a man from Seryphis takes under lease land in Mouchinaxap (Western toparchy; 3 rd pagus), the rent for which he is required to pay in the threshing floor of Seryphis; the two villages must have been close to one another. P.Köln 189 is an order to the eirenarchs of Seryphis to send up a person from Akte to the city, suggesting that this place lay in the administrative orbit of Seryphis. The mention of fishing in Seryphis presupposes a location near a waterway [P.Turner 25; cf. also the porthemeion mentioned in P.Oxy ].

In P.Oxy the archephodos of Taampeti (Middle toparchy; 7 th pagus) is ordered to summon three individuals from Sepho, an indication perhaps that his authority extended over both villages (cf. editors introd.). In P.Oxy a man from Tanais (Middle toparchy; 7 th pagus[?]) farms royal land around Sepho. Proximity to the border with the Middle toparchy is also supported by the fact that Sepho is the only village of the Thmoisepho toparchy to have gone over to the 7 th pagus in the fourth century, like a number of Middle toparchy villages, whereas other Thmoisepho villages were in the 8 th pagus.

I 87.4 (III BCE), a document of the Zenon archive (Arsinoite nome), with Sinary of the Oxyrhynchite nome. But the recent recurrence of the toponym in yet another Arsinoite document, P.Sijp (II?), suggests that we are dealing hear with a synonymous locality in the Fayum; cf. also F. Uebel, Die Kleruchen Ägyptens unter den ersten sechs Ptolemäern (Berlin 1968) 84 n. 4, and Daris, Dizionario Suppl. 5 p. 88 s.v. Etymology: (PꜢ-)šj-n-Ḥr-wḏꜢ, the lake of Haryothes (Vandorpe, Egyptische geografische elementen 151). Administrative subdivision: Lower toparchy. In 14 BCE the village was part of the Peran toparchy of the Heracleopolite nome [BGU 1061]. The situation in the earlier period is unclear. The village, being at the border of the Oxyrhynchite and Heracleopolite nomes, is often associated with villages of both nomes; see Falivene, The Herakleopolite Nome P.Hib. 34 and 73 seem to imply that in the mid-third century BCE at least Sinary probably belonged to the Oxyrhynchite nome, since the archiphylakites of the Lower toparchy appears to have jurisdiction over this village (but cf. Falivene, The Herakleopolite Nome 193). Sinary is listed mostly with Heracleopolite villages in P.Hib. 218, a tax list assigned to the early or mid-second century CE, which perhaps should be redated to the early first century (see P.Oxy.Hels n., and cf. Falivene, The Herakleopolite Nome 192 n. 1). Arabic/modern counterpart: Šinara; see P.Oxy n., Falivene, The Herakleopolite Nome 192, Gomaà et al., Mittelägypten 99, 232. Relative location: near Talao (Lower toparchy), to judge from P.Oxy φόρων τῶν ἐν Ταλαω ἐχόντων περὶ Ϲιναρυ (cf. also l. 5) and P.Köln περὶ Ϲιναρυ καὶ Ταλαω. The mention of land heavily sanded over (ammochostos) in P.Oxy has suggested to the editor that its presence in Sinary perhaps indicates that the latter was located near the desert (n. ad loc.); cf. also P.Oxy introd. Land in the territory of Sinary is located east of the Bahr Yusuf [P.Oxy with n.]. It is probable that the village s territory extended both east and west (toward the desert) of the canal, but it remains unclear whether the village itself lay on the eastern bank (like its modern counterpart Šinara) or the western bank. A person from Isieion Tryphonos (Lower toparchy; 9 th pagus) sells land belonging to him in Sinary [PSI 897]; for another association of the two villages, cf. P.Oxy Near Tychinpsalbo (Lower toparchy) [P.Wash.Univ. 78.ii.10]. Position in official lists of villages: between Psobthis and Kosmou [P.Oxy. 1285]; between Isieion Tryphonos and Souis(?)

Religion: theagos and theagisse of a temple of Thoeris [P.Mert. 26] Note: although it occurs among villages in the account PSI Congr. XVII 18(a), Sintabo is perhaps the name of a temple of Thoeris rather than a settlement proper. Three papyri also attest a temple of Thoeris called Ϲιντανω (see the references in Husson, loc. cit.; the nu is secure according to her). Yoyotte (apud Husson, loc. cit.) believes that Ϲιντανω et Ϲινταβω sont sans doute les appellations de deux Thoèrion différents. ** Ϲκάφη - Skaphe SB I 1989(b)? chorion 347

Etymology: perhaps the name derives from the Egyptian name of nearby Kynopolis (SꜢkꜢ); cf. Rowlandson, Oxyrhynchus and its hinterland 207 8: Although the two places were administratively distinct, it is possible that, with the hellenization of the nome metropolis [i.e. Kynopolis] and its name, the old Egyptian name persisted in a nearby village name. Administrative subdivision: Upper toparchy Relative location: near Episemou (Upper toparchy; 3 rd pagus) [PSI 1408 with BL VIII 411]; in P.Oxy a farmer from Episemou cultivates public land in Sko; similarly, in P.Oxy a lessee of land in Sko is from Episemou; in SB 5806 (BL XII 183) the lessors of land around Sko are from Episemou. In P.Oxy grain from the granaries of Sko is embarked at the Nile harbour of Satyrou (Eastern toparchy). Near Monimou (Upper toparchy; 3 rd pagus[?]) [P.Oxy.Hels. 41]. These indications suggest that Sko lay in the north-eastern corner of the Upper toparchy and thus must have been very close to Cynopolis (Rowlandson, Landowners and Tenants 11, Oxyrhynchus and its hinterland 207).

Administrative subdivision: Eastern toparchy; 5 th pagus Arabic/modern counterpart: Tanbu (Gomaà et al., Mittelägypten 84) Relative location: in P.Oxy the strategus issues a joint order to the officials of Taampemou and Seryphis (Western toparchy; 3 rd pagus) to embark some wood from a nearby location (Ionthis); this suggests that though situated in different toparchies, the two villages were probably near each other (edd. s introd.; cf. also 3 n.). In P.Oxy a man from Taampemou takes under lease land around Satyrou (Eastern toparchy), possibly implying relative proximity between the two villages. Fishermen in P.Oxy suggest proximity to a waterway; cf. also P.Oxy and 4003 (a fishing boat is to transport stones from Taampemou). In P.Egy.Mus. S.R (227) Taampemou is listed in proximity to Kynopolis (line 1). In an Apionic prostasia comprising Senokomis (Western toparchy), Herakleion (Middle toparchy), Pesta and Notines Paroriou [P.Oxy. 2243(a)]. Pangouleeiou [P.Oxy. 2243(a).68 73] and Palidou [P.Oxy. 2243(a).52, 53] were probably in the vicinity.

368 Relative location: in P.Oxy the archephodos of Taampitei is ordered to summon three individuals from Sepho (Thmoisepho toparchy; 7 th pagus), an indication perhaps that his authority extended over both villages (cf. editors introd.).

373 Administrative subdivision: Lower toparchy Arabic/modern counterpart: It may have been located at Kôm-el-Ahmar, west of the Bahr Yusuf near Muzûra and at the edge of the desert (P.Oxy n.; see Gomaà et al., Mittelägypten 100). Relative location: Takona shares a komogrammateus with Tychinphagon (Lower toparchy) [P.Köln 489], which presupposes that they were relatively proximate. Hunt in P.Oxy n. takes the letter s context to imply that Takona must have been in the vicinity of Psobthis [Lower toparchy; 9 th pagus] (mentioned in line 5); cf. also P.Oxy. 1652, containing two short accounts relating to these two villages. The payment to sailors in P.Oxy may imply that Takona was close to a waterway (probably the Bahr Yusuf); this is further reinforced by P.Oxy. 1830, which concerns the measurements of the river s rise by agents of the Apion estate in Takona, and P.Oxy , recording a payment τ ῷ ὀ ϲ πριγίτ(ῃ) εἰϲ τὸ πλοῖον (cf. also P.Oxy n.). Cf. also above under Arabic/modern counterpart. P.Oxy. 1831, in which the meizon of Tholthis (Lower toparchy; 10 th pagus) writes to his counterpart in Takona concerning their shepherds dispute, implies proximity between the two villages (cf. also P.Oxy. 2207, P.Wash.Univ. 77). Perhaps near Souis (Lower toparchy; 8 th pagus); cf. P.Oxy. XVII n. Near the western desert (P.Oxy introd., n.). Cf. also above under Arabic/modern counterpart. The Itin. Anton., 157.1, records as 24 Roman miles the distance between Takona and Oxyhrynchus (cf. P.Oxy. LX p. 194).

377 Administrative subdivision: Lower toparchy Arabic/modern counterpart: Tala according to Gomaà et al., Mittelägypten 90; but cf. Mazza, L archivio degli Apioni 99 n. 138, who suggests that Tala could also correspond to the Heracleopolite village of Talae/Tale. Mazza is probably correct, for an identification of Talao with Tala would not suit the close associations between Talao and Sinary = Šinara (see below under Relative location). Relative location: in the eastern part (ἀπηλιώτου μερίϲ) of the Lower toparchy [P.Köln ]. Near Sinary (Lower toparchy) [P.Köln (περὶ Ϲιναρυ καὶ Ταλαω), P.Oxy (φόρων τῶν ἐν Ταλαω ἐχόντων περὶ Ϲιναρυ; cf. also l. 5)].

XVI (Τ [ά?]νεωϲ) before 566 Etymology: The name of this village of the Middle toparchy is the same as the Greek name of the Russian river Don and of a settlement at its mouth. An ἐποίκιον in the same toparchy was called Ἴϲτρου, the name of the Danube and a settlement at the mouth of the Danube. It may be that these place names reflect the presence of Thracian immigrants in the area, compare in general V. Velkov, A. Fol, Les Thraces en Egypte Gréco-Romaine (P.Oxy n.). Administrative subdivision: Middle toparchy; probably in the 7 th pagus (see P.Oxy. LV n.) Relative location: in SB Tanais shares sitologoi with Petne (Middle toparchy; 7 th pagus[?]), suggesting proximity between the two villages. In P.Oxy a man from Tanais farms royal land around Sepho (Thmoisepho toparchy; 7 th pagus).

Drew-Bear, Le nome Hermopolite Administrative subdivision: Eastern toparchy; 4 th pagus Arabic/modern counterpart: Oxyrhynchite Terythis has been traditionally equated with modern Dahrut (cf. Gomaà et al., Mittelägypten 87), but Rowlandson, Landowners and Tenants 13, has pointed out that the close connections of Terythis with Adaiou and the Upper toparchy (see under Relative location) and its position in the 4 th rather than the 5 th pagus (like most known Eastern toparchy villages) makes the identification of Terythis with Dahrut very unlikely, despite the undoubted similarity of names. Dahrut is, in effect, to the north of other identifiable Eastern toparchy villages and close to Taampeti of the Middle toparchy/7 th pagus (modern Tambidi). I argue in ZPE 171 (2009) that Dahrut can be plausibly identified with Cynopolite Terythis. Relative location: P.Oxy concerns a dispute over whether a piece of land belongs to the taxable territory of Adaiou (Eastern toparchy; 4 th pagus) or Terythis, suggesting that the two villages were close neighbours. Probably close to a waterway [cf. the mention of fishing in SB 13150].

For P.Oxy. LXXII (122/3) ] Τοου, the possibility exists that τοου here is the end of the toponym; cf. Τυχιναβιτωου (n. ad loc.). The suggestion to restore ἀπὸ Τ ού or Τ ο(οῦ) in P.Wash.Univ. II 78.ii.14 (see n. ad loc.) is uncertain. 56 Etymology: Le toponyme est bien connu dans la vallée du Nil [including the Aphroditopolite, Hermopolite and Heracleopolite nomes] où il correspond à une réalité géographique stable telle que la montagne ou le désert (Drew-Bear, Le nome Hermopolite 305 s.v.).

The meaning of γύηϲ is still in doubt, but it indicates some drainage feature such as an embankment or ditch, see [P.Oxy.] LI n. (P.Oxy n.).

419 Note: it is unclear whether this village was part of the Cynopolite or Oxyrhynchite nome or of both nomes at different times. Litinas, APF 40 (1994) 163 4, counts it as a Cynopolite settlement, mainly on the basis of P.Bad. IV 73, but U. and D. Hagedorn, P.Sijp n., have recently cast doubt on the grounds for this ascription. Φλου - Phlou P.Oxy.

429 Arabic/modern counterpart: Šuša (Gomaà et al., Mittelägypten 97) Relative location: at the extreme south of the Oxyrhynchite nome, on the border with the Hermopolite nome. Land in its vicinity (but not the village itself) was sometimes subsumed under the Pasko toparchy of the Hermopolite nome (cf. C.Pap.Gr. II App. 1, P.Oxy. 1724, 2673). At some point in the fourth century the village itself appears to have switched to the Hermopolite nome (P.Lips. 99), but it probably reverted to the territory of Oxyrhynchus by the sixth century (cf. P.Oxy. 2032). In the eighth century Chysis was part of the Theodosiopolite nome (P.Bal. 355; see N. Gonis, ZPE 142 (2003) 176 9). On these boundary changes, see most recently Mitthof, APF 49 (2003) (with further bibliography). Inhabitants of Chysis take under lease land near Sinkepha, in the ktema Dioskoureion (these were in the 2 nd pagus) [P.Oxy. 2241]. Sinkepha was apparently under the komogrammateia of Chysis [P.Oxy. 3906]; the two villages are also mentioned together in P.Berl.Leihg. 20. Chysis shares sitologoi with Athychis (Upper toparchy) in P.Oxy. 2958, suggesting proximity between the two villages. In the same Apionic prostasia as Berky [P.Oxy. 2032]. The ktema Abok/Pabok was in the vicinity [PSI ]. By the Bahr Yusuf (see Drew-Bear, Le nome Hermopolite 326 7, and cf. P.Meyer 19).

492 MAPS On the following satellite images from Google Earth I have pinpointed the modern sites identifiable with ancient Oxyrhynchite settlements (see Index V) together with some identifiable sites from the neighbouring nomes; for the latter I relied on Drew-Bear, Le nome Hermopolite, Falivene, The Herakleopolite Nome, and Litinas, Villages and placenames of the Cynopolite nome. I identified these sites on the satellite image with the help of the detailed 1:100,000 scale maps of the Survey of Egypt (Cairo 1932). L = Lower toparchy; T = Thmoisepho toparchy; M = Middle toparchy; E = Eastern toparchy; W = Western toparchy; U = Upper toparchy. Map 1: Lower toparchy (north) 492
