Abstract :
This article offers a preliminary exploration of the characteristic uses of all-inclusive terms and expressions in Greek legal documents of Byzantine Egypt. Through the utilization of these terms and expressions Byzantine notaries formulated clauses and formulas in a genus-species-genus word sequence. This notarial technique of exhaustiveness can be identified with the rhetorical figure of enumeratio.
