This book presents the edition of eleven Greek documentary papyri from the Fouad collection. The majority of the collection was purchased in 1930 by King Fouad I of Egypt and donated to the Royal Egyptian Papyrological Society (later known as the Fouad I Papyrological Society). The collection was enriched through further purchases or donations in subsequent years and has been housed at the IFAO since 1961. The introduction to this volume provides an overview of the origins and acquisition history of the collection.
The papyri published here consist of private and public documents (declarations, petitions, contracts, receipts, etc.) that reflect the daily life of different strata of society and the daily routine of local provincial administration in Roman Egypt. These documents date from the beginning of the 1st century AD to the beginning of the 3rd century AD, and come from the Arsinoite, Oxyrhynchite, and Lykopolite nomes. They are arranged in chronological order, and each one is presented with an introduction, its Greek transcription, a translation and a commentary, as well as images. This book will be of interest to papyrologists and historians of Greco-Roman Egypt.
