Document Details : Title: Chairemon Subtitle: Alexandrian Citizen, Royal Scribe, Gymnasiarch, Landholder at Bacchias, and Loving Father Author(s): SMOLDERS, Ruben Journal: Bulletin of the American Society of Papyrologists Volume: 42 Date: 2005 Pages: 93-100 DOI: 10.2143/BASP.42.0.3275112 Abstract : In this article I offer a new interpretation for BGU III 981 and I will show that the conbination of this text with other documents yields for the first time a view on the business affairs and private life of a royal scribe (basilikos grammateus) in Roman Egypt. The article also contributes to the stufy of landownership in the Egyptian chora by Alexandrian citizens in the first century A.D. and to the study of checks in Graeco-Roman Egypt. |
