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 four) Supplementi to Calderini-Daris, Dizionario dei nomi geografici e topografici dell Egitto greco-romano, the Heidelberg WörterListen of recently published papyri (<http://www.papy.uni-hd.de/wl/wl.html>), and volumes V 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 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. 6

Like Pruneti s above-cited work, this catalogue does not list every attested rural toponym, 1 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. 2 The terms kome (village) and epoikion (hamlet) are the standard and unambiguous designations of rural settlements. 3 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. 4 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. 5 Other possible pointers of inhabited centres are 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 (chiefly in Pisa) are also listed (see Zauzich, Enchoria 15 (1987) 169 79). Occasional 1 For other toponyms see the references in Verreth, Survey of Toponyms, or the more up-to-date entries on the Trismegistos database: http://www.trismegistos.org/geo/index.php. 2 For an analysis of the percentages and chronological repartition of settlements designations, see Krüger, Oxyrhynchos in der Kaiserzeit 45 6. 3 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 state of kome, as was Dositheou (Rowlandson, Oxyrhynchus and its hinterland 210). In the late antique period epoikia proliferate in the papyrological evidence 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 79). 4 See R. Boehm, Contribution à l étude de l administration romaine en Égypte, Hermes 81 (1953) 473 8. 5 On the meaning of chorion, see R. S. Bagnall, The date of P. Kell. I G. 62 and the meaning of χώριον, CE 74 (1999) 329 33 (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 30 34. In the period following the Islamic conquest, the word χώριον 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 nomes) (N. Gonis, BMCR review of Falivene, The Herakleopolite Nome, in http://ccat.sas.upenn.edu/bmcr/2001/2001-02-13.html). 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) 33. 7

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 true 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 true 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) 177 84 (Egyptian toponyms without a Greek ending are not accented). 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 (http://www.trismegistos.org/geo/index.php). 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 (http://www.rzuser.uni-heidelberg.de/~gv0/); 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. 8

Uncertain instances. These are 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. 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 8 15. 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 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 villages 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 (cf. the remarks by Rowlandson, Landowners and Tenants 268). For a schematic representation of the relationships between some villages, see also Krüger, Oxyrhynchos in der Kaiserzeit 50 53. 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 the late antique period. 9

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. 89 93 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: wheat, viticulture, barley, the various fodder crops (chortos, arakos, chlora), vegetables, palm and other fruit trees, oil, etc. For an overview of the crops grown in the Oxyrhynchite nome, see Rowlandson, Landwoners and Tenants 19 25. 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 first 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 Pruneti, I κλῆροι del nomo Ossirinchite. On Greek settlement in Ptolemaic Oxyrhynchus, see further Rowlandson, Oxyrhynchus and its hinterland 208 11, 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) 101 6. Irrigation: canals, dikes, mechanai, 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, 10

streets, dovecotes, etc. Note that granaries are listed only when they are explicitly attested, not when they are merely implied e.g. by transfer of grain through sitologoi. Animals: donkeys, sheep, goats, oxen, etc. Religion: temples, priests, festivals, churches, monasteries, etc. See further Whitehorne, The pagan cults of Roman Oxyrhynchus, and Timm, Das christlichkoptische Ägypten. Officials: 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 der Aussagen der griechischen und koptischen Papyri und Ostraka (München 2002) 296 309. Occupations: traders, craftsmen, estate administrators, agricultural labourers, etc. 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. 11 17. 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: 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 some Roman emperors 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 84, Anal.Pap. 16/17, APF 54, BASP 45, CE 83, Comunicazioni 11

Vitelli 7, JJP 37, Tyche 22, ZPE 170), 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 Oxyrhynchite texts are also encouraged to signal relevant new publications to me for future editions of the catalogue. Please email me at my permanent address amin.benaissa@gmail.com. This work was completed in the first year of my tenure of a Leverhulme Early Career Fellowship at the Faculty of Classics, University of Oxford. I am greatly indebted to the Leverhulme Trust and the Faculty 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 grateful to the editors of Trismegistos Online Publications for accepting this work in their series. 12

Episemou is coupled with Terythis (Eastern toparchy; 4 th pagus) in SB 12523 and is in the same Apionic prostasia as Adaiou (Eastern toparchy; 4 th pagus) and Matreou [P.Oxy. 136, 2196].

(Rowlandson, Oxyrhynchus and its hinterland 208; cf. P.Khalili I 1.10, where the Arabic equivalent begins as Sal[). 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. 4748.4 5 n.). In P.Oxy. 1866 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] 16 See Gonis, CE 75 (2000) 128 32. 97

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.).

Land in the fields of Mermertha (Upper toparchy; 1 st pagus) is περὶ Κεύωθειν [P.Oxy. 4091], implying close proximity between the two villages Irrigation: mechane (called Πετεα ρ/) [P.Lond. 776] Topographical features: granary [P.Oxy. 4611] Animals: donkeys [O.Wilck. 1100] Officials: meizones [SB 12324] Occupations: Apionic pronoetes (Ioseph) [P.Oxy. 1856] Estate: Apion estate [P.Oxy. 1856, P.Lond. 776 (pagarchoumene by the Apiones)] Note: Keuothis in O.Wilck. 1100 and P.Lond. 766 certainly belonged to the Cynopolite nome. Similarly, in SB 12324 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 12324 does not necessarily imply that Toka and Keuothis were close neighbours). The Keuothis occurring in P.Oxy. 4091 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. 4091.11 n., LX 4384.3 4 n., Rowlandson, Landowners and Tenants 14 n. 29). This is not a necessary conclusion, 121

however. Mermertha was in the east of the first pagus, on the right bank of the Apollophanes canal (see below s.v. Μερµέρθα 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. 4091 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 1673.164 (VI) is of uncertain provenance (Hermopolite? Cf. BL V p. 59).

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. 1112 an acacia-tree περὶ Πεενν ω (Middle toparchy) is designated by the komogrammateus of Nemera for purchase, and in P.Oxy. 1549 a declaration of uninundated land 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.) Position in official lists of villages: between Plelo and Takolkeilis [P.Oxy. 1285]; between Pakerke + Senopotheos and Kerkeura [PSI Congr.

Thomas, P.Oxy. 4773.8 n., argues that the ktema Nesos in P.Mich. 792 cannot be identical to that of P.Oxy. 4773 because the lessor in P.Mich. 792 is Aurelia Herais, whereas the homonymous ktema of P.Oxy. 4773 belongs to Klaudia Isidora alias Apia. Cf. also P.Mich. 792.8 9 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. 1) P.Mert.

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 140 42 s.v. Although none of these attestations identifies the village as a harbour (its proximity to the Nile is evident, however; cf.

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).

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. 4132.9 10 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 another (cf. Mazza, L archivio degli Apioni 92 with n. 90; for the proximity of Seryphis and Taampemou, see P.Oxy. 1421.3 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.

Administrative subdivision: Western toparchy; 4 th pagus (see P.Oxy. 4966.11 n.) Arabic/modern counterpart: Bani wal-lams(?) (Gomaà et al., Mittelägypten 86); but the order of villages in SB 12108 (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.

stood by a considerable body of water, probably the ancient equivalent of the Bahr Yusuf (cf. the mention of fishing in the same papyrus).

Relative location: in P.Oxy. 970 the representative of an Antinoopolite owner of land in Seryphis is from Pela (Western toparchy).

The chorion Gaianou [P.Oxy. 1141] and the ktema Nesos [P.Mich. 792 with BL XII 126] were nearby. In P.Oxy. 1421 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.

Arabic/modern equivalent: Sumusta [P.Khalili I 1]; previously wrongly identified with Saft Rašin (see Gonis, CE 75 (2000) 130 31). Sumusta lies [some 8 km] southwest of Saft Rasin, and fairly close to the east bank of the Bahr Yusuf (Gonis, loc. cit. 131). Relative location: probably close to the Nile [or, rather, the Bahr Yusuf (see above under Arabic/modern counterpart)] since a κυβερνήτηϲ in [P.Oxy.] 1554.6 came from it (P.Oxy. 1416.13 n.); cf. also P.Oxy. 3975, and the lading of grain into boats in P.Hib. 45, BGU 2400, 2419. Not far from the western desert (cf. P.Oxy. 3333 introd.). Near Choinothmis in the Heracleopolite nome [P.Oxy. 3805.91 n., 3957 introd. and 6 n., 3975]; cf. also the association with Phebichis in BGU 2419 and the dispute with Nois in CPR XXV 9.

Relative location: P.Oxy. 2035 mentions the dikes of Sepho and Leonidou, suggesting that the two villages were neighbours. In P.Oxy. 3130 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. 4958 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. The epoikion Ischy was probably in the vicinity of Sepho [P.Oxy. 4341.11].

P.Mich. I 87.4 34 (Ϲεναρυ) BCE PSI Congr. XVII 18(a).11 (Ψιναρυ; see n. ad loc.) IV Delendum: SB XX 14235.1 (V); see BL X 226 and cf. ZPE 149 (2004) 109. Etymology: (Pꜣ-)šj-n-Ḥr-wḏꜣ, (the) lake of Haryothes (K. Vandorpe apud Falivene, The Herakleopolite Nome 192). 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 191 3. 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. 10.5 n., and cf. Falivene, The Herakleopolite Nome 192 n. 1). Arabic/modern counterpart: Šinara; see P.Oxy. 3638.12 n., Falivene, The Herakleopolite Nome 192, Gomaà et al., Mittelägypten 99, 232. Relative location: near Talao (Lower toparchy), to judge from P.Oxy. 514.2 φόρων τῶν ἐν Ταλαω ἐχόντων περὶ Ϲιναρυ (cf. also l. 5) and P.Köln 141.10 περὶ Ϲιναρυ καὶ Ταλαω. The mention of land heavily sanded over (ammochostos) in P.Oxy. 3170.265 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. 3333 introd. Land in the territory of Sinary is located east of the Bahr Yusuf [P.Oxy. 3638.12 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. 3462. 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(?)

In P.Oxy. 3091 a geouchon in Sinary undertakes to deliver barley to Alexandria for the troops of Caracalla in Syria. PSI 71 mentions a violent fight in this village. BGU 1061 relates a violent assault by persons from Sinary against a pastophoros of a temple in Bousiris (probably the Heracleopolite village in the north of the nome; see Falivene, The Herakleopolite Nome 193). 293

-ταβω pourraient bien être des surnoms de la déesse [i.e. Thoeris; see below] (τ = tꜣ, article défini féminin), mais jusqu à plus ample informé, mieux vaut ne pas spéculer sur les termes égyptiens que recouvrent ces compléments (M. J. Yoyotte apud G. Husson, CRIPEL 8 (1986) 77). Arabic/modern counterpart: Sandafā al-far, on the east bank of the Bahr Yusuf and opposite Oxyrhynchus (G. Husson, CRIPEL 8 (1986) 77). 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 http://www.trismegistos.org/geo/detail.php?tm=7200 SB I 1989(b)? chorion Uncertain instance: P.Mert.

Etymology: perhaps the name derives from the Egyptian name of nearby Kynopolis (Sꜣ-kꜣ); 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 V 411]; in P.Oxy. 1031 a farmer from Episemou cultivates public land in Sko; similarly, in P.Oxy. 2137 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. 2125 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: 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. 4087.2 n.; see Gomaà et al., Mittelägypten 100). Relative location: Hunt in P.Oxy. 1064.10 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. 1652 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. 2021.8, recording a payment τ ῷ ὀ ϲ πριγίτ(ῃ) εἰϲ τὸ πλοῖον (cf. also P.Oxy. 3052.11 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). 38 See F.

Form: the name is indeclinable, except in the early Ptolemaic P.Hib. 249 and P.Yale 34. 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 137.22 3]. Near Sinary (Lower toparchy) [P.Köln 141.10 (περὶ Ϲιναρυ καὶ Ταλαω), P.Oxy. 514.2 (φόρων τῶν ἐν Ταλαω ἐχόντων περὶ Ϲιναρυ; cf. also l. 5)].

XVI 1912.103 (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. 3918.16 n.). Administrative subdivision: Middle toparchy; probably in the 7 th pagus (see P.Oxy. LV 3795.12 n.) Relative location: in SB 10791 Tanais shares sitologoi with Petne (Middle toparchy; 7 th pagus[?]), suggesting proximity between the two villages. In P.Oxy. 4958 a man from Tanais farms royal land around Sepho (Thmoisepho toparchy; 7 th pagus). Position in official lists of villages: between Ieme and Herakleion [P.Oxy. 1285]; between Pakerke and Ieme [P.Oxy. 1659.64], first before Toka [P.Oxy. 1659.78]; last after Kerkeura [P.Oxy. 1747]; between Istrou and Taampeti [SB 16570] Categories of land: royal [P.Coll.Youtie 22]; public [P.Oxy.Hels. 24] Cultures: wheat [P.Coll.Youtie 22, P.Oxy. 2351, 2874]; achyron [P.Heid. 242]; viticulture [P.Oxy. 1631]; reeds [P.Oxy. 1631]; palm-trees [P.Oxy. 1631]; various fruit-trees (peaches, citrons, figs) [P.Oxy. 1631]; melons [P.Oxy. 1631]; olive-trees [P.Oxy. 1631]; arakos [P.Oxy. 2351, 2874]; chortos [P.Oxy. 2874] Associated kleroi: of Theokritos(?)

Noteworthy landowners: Phatres Harthoonios, priest of Thoeris, Isis and Sarapis in Oxyrhynchus [P.Oxy. 2351] Taxes and other imposts: crown-tax [P.Oxy. 1659]; requisition of meat [SB 16570] Other: mowing of rushes (thryokopia) [P.Oxy. 2874]. A citizen of Antinoopolis owns a house in Tanais [P.Oxy. 3918]. A person from Tanais owns house property in Oxyrhynchus [SB 14199]. Note: [Τα]ν ά εωϲ has been restored in SB XXII 15828.13 (), a list of villages in the Herakleidou Meris of the Arsinoite nome. If the restoration is correct, this would be a homonymous village in the Arsinoite, but the reading is very uncertain. Ταντα π η - Tantape http://www.trismegistos.org/geo/detail.php?tm=7535 P.Oxy.

Etymology: Cet epoikion tire son nom de son fondateur ou de son premier propriétaire, un certain Ταρουθίναϲ, un Thrace, soldat ou colon (P.IFAO 43.19 20 n.); cf. also the Oxyrhynchite kleros of the same name in the Western toparchy (P.Oxy.

Administrative subdivision: perhaps in the Eastern toparchy ([P.Oxy. II] 384) (P.Oxy. 2575.1 n.). Cultures: wheat [P.Oxy. 384]; chortos [P.Oxy. 3805, SB 15271]; viticulture [SB 11617] Religion: there is no martyrion of St. Serenos in this village (see P.Oxy. 3804.164 7 n.); Jews(?)

Noteworthy landowners: Apion estate [P.Oxy. 135, 4790] Note: it is unclear whether this village is identical to Tarouthinou tout court; cf. P.Oxy. 135, where an enapographos georgos is said to be from Megales Tarouthinou in line 14 and simply from Tarouthinou in line 32 (in this line from the docket the word Τ [α]ρ [ο]υθί[νου is largely restored, but the document is complete and there is no space for Μεγάληϲ afterwards; cf. the online image through HGV).

P.Col. VII 191.3 (Ϲερύθεωϲ) 40 mid IV N.B.: A village of the same name is attributed to the Cynopolite nome in P.Hamb. I 17.i.12, ii.1, 11 (210), P.Oxy. X 1254.18 19 (260; see the correction in P.Oxy. 1507 descr.), and P.Köln 151.5 (423); see Litinas, APF 40.2 (1994) 161 2. In a forthcoming article (ZPE 171 [2009]), I argue that, as a result of my equation of this village with modern Dahrut, some other instances previously thought to refer to Oxyrhynchite Terythis probably relate to Cynopolite Terythis. These are: P.Tebt..2 876.48, 91, 93 (late II BCE), SB XIV 11272.5 (211), P.Neph. 27.2 (336/7?), P.Oxy. XVI 2019.4, 15 (VI), P.Oxy. VI 998 descr. (late VI), XVI 1937.2 (VI/VII), 2031.6 (VI/VII). There remain some instances from the late antique period that are not easily assignable to one nome or the other: P.Oxy. XVI 2036.15 (Τυρύθεωϲ) late V kome P.Oxy.

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 (forthcoming 2009) that Dahrut can be plausibly identified with Cynopolite Terythis. Relative location: P.Oxy. 2235 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]. Coupled with Episemou (Upper toparchy; 3 rd pagus) in SB 12523. Position in official lists of villages: between Adaiou and Taampemou [P.Oxy. 1285]; first before Adaiou [P.Oxy. 1747, SB 16570] 40 Note ad loc: one may suppose a spelling error in this line for Seryphis or Terythis... or else an otherwise unattested village. 334

For P.Oxy. LXXII 4868.7 (122/3) ] Τοου, the possibility exists, however, that τοου here is the end of the toponym; cf. Τυχιναβιτωου (n. ad loc.).

The meaning of γύηϲ is still in doubt, but it indicates some drainage feature such as an embankment or ditch, see [P.Oxy.] LI 3638.12 n. (P.Oxy. 3804.56 n.). Administrative subdivision: probably in the 1 st pagus (cf. P.Oxy. 4342.i.3 n.) Relative location: in the same Apionic prostasia as Apelle, Pakiak, Kisson, Loukiou, Tarousebt and Kotyleeiou [P.Oxy. 1911, 3804], which was apparently in the southern part of the nome, not far from Isieion Panga (see P.Oxy.

The presence of quarrymen [in P.Oxy. 1911.166 7] suggests that this hamlet lay nearer the Western Desert than the Nile (P.Oxy. 3804.221 2 n., and cf. below under Irrigation).

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.

Administrative subdivision: Upper toparchy; see also below under Relative location 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) 214 15 (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].

M AP S 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 DrewBear, Le nome Hermopolite, Falivene, The Herakleopolite Nome, and Litinas, Villages and and place-names 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) 413
