Collection Papyrologica Parisina I. This volume III of the Papyri de la Sorbonne follows P. Sorbonne I (nos. 1 to 68) published by Hélène Cadell at Presses universitaires de France in 1966 and P. Sorbonne II 69 published by Jean Gascou at Scholars Press in 1994. It presents the edition of three files or batches of archives, all from the 3rd century BC, the first two from the mummy cartonnages found long ago in Ghôran by Pierre Jouguet, the third from a purchase but also from mummy cartonnages found in the Fayoum, in total seventy-five documents, largely unpublished. These three sets are presented in chronological order. The file of the Zenodorus lochage (nos. 70-74), edited by Hélène Cadell, research director at the CNRS, is the oldest of those preserved at the Sorbonne Institute of Papyrology. Dating from the 270s, it is important in particular for the chronological problems it raises. The second file, that of the archives of the nomarch Aristarchus (nos. 75-102), edited by Willy Clarysse, professor at the Katholieke Universiteit Leuven, is bilingual, Greek and demotic, and it remains central to our knowledge of the administration of the Fayum in the middle of the 3rd century (small nomarchies). The third set, which is also the largest (nos. 102-144), the archives of the epistate Demetrius (also called the Mouchis papyrus), edited by Kennokka Robic, a young doctor from the University of Paris-Sorbonne, and made up, for the most part, of enteuxeis, is a useful complement to those collected by Octave Guéraud in 1931; these documents are also of great interest in the field of the calendar and administration in the last quarter of the 3rd century.
