The Aphrodite Papyri And Village Life In Byzantine Egypt, James G. Keenan
The Aphrodite Papyri And Village Life In Byzantine Egypt, James G. Keenan
Classical Studies: Faculty Publications and Other Works
The nearly one thousand years during which Egypt was characterized by a Greek-speaking elite have by papyrologists and historians traditional;y been divided into three periods: the Ptolemaic, which marks its beginning with Alexander’s invasion in 332 B.C.; the Roman, which begins with Octavian’s reduction of Alexandria in 30 B.C.; and the Byzantine, which starts with Diocleatian’s accession in A.D. 284 and ends with the Arab invasion of A.D. 639. The Greek papyri recovered from ancient Egypt’s cemeteries and waste heaps, whether by supervised excavations or by the less formal ‘excavations’ of the sebakh-diggers, especially toward the end of the nineteenth …
An Afterthought On The Names Flavius And Aurelius, James G. Keenan
An Afterthought On The Names Flavius And Aurelius, James G. Keenan
Classical Studies: Faculty Publications and Other Works
It has been ten years since publication in zpe (11 [1973] 33-63; 13 [1974] 283-304) of the long article on "The Names Flavius and Aurelius as Status Designations in Later Roman Egypt." During the past decade, papyrological colleagues seem to have approved, by word and in print, the article's theses; at the same time they have been kind enough not to throw too glaring a light on the occasional anomaly that requires attention or the occasional modification in detail that must be made. The general system by which the name Flavius was restricted to definite categories of Egypt's population, with …

Victor, Son Of Psaios, And Three Aphrodito Rent Receipts, James G. Keenan
Victor, Son Of Psaios, And Three Aphrodito Rent Receipts, James G. Keenan
Classical Studies: Faculty Publications and Other Works
PSI VIII 935, a receipt acknowledging payment of rent for land near the village of Phthla, was published in 1927. The editor in commenting on the text sought to connect it with two other papyri, both of them Phthla land leases: P. Flor. III 281 (A.D. 517) and P. Cair. Masp. I 67113 (dating clause lost at top). A third, related land lease is P. Lond. V 1689 (527). These three papyri form a small archive not obviously integral to the main set of papyri issuing from Aphrodite (modern Kom Ischkaw) and preserved in the sixth-century archive of Flavius Dioscorus. …

Papyrology And Roman History: 1956–1980, James G. Keenan
Papyrology And Roman History: 1956–1980, James G. Keenan
Classical Studies: Faculty Publications and Other Works
The papyri of the Roman Empire have not yet been subjected to the kinds of systematic scholarly enterprises to which the Ptolemaic papyri have been subjected. There is, for example, no comprehensive prosopography comparable to the Prosopographia Ptolemaica, and it is, I think, senseless to start one. What the student of the Roman imperial period has at his disposal is lists of assorted officials, functionaries, and military personnel. Among those compiled in the generation under discussion (1956-1980) there may be mentioned, by way of example, Bureth's collection of imperial titulatures; Mussies' supplement to Henne's 1935 listing of nome strategi; Reinmuth's …

Ptolemaic Account (P. Teb. 131), James G. Keenan, Michael Toumazou
Ptolemaic Account (P. Teb. 131), James G. Keenan, Michael Toumazou
Classical Studies: Faculty Publications and Other Works
The papyrus is light yellow in color and well-preserved. The text of the front side of the papyrus is complete at top and bottom and on the left side. At its lower right it has suffered some losses, which presumably, though not with absolute certainty, correspond in proportion and extent to losses at the left of the reverse-side text. At 3.3 cm. from the left margin of the front page, which generally has horizontal fibers, ends the protocollon with its vertical fibers. Hence the present piece of papyrus was either cut from the beginning of a presumably used roll or …
Aurelius Phoibammon, Son Of Triadelphus: A Byzantine Egyptian Land Entrepreneur, James G. Keenan
Aurelius Phoibammon, Son Of Triadelphus: A Byzantine Egyptian Land Entrepreneur, James G. Keenan
Classical Studies: Faculty Publications and Other Works
It has since the early days of papyrology been noted, and hardly needs repeating before this assemblage, that the documentary papyri bring the scholar closer to the common man of antiquity than can ever be possible through the literary sources that have been transmitted through the medieval manuscript tradition. The papyri provide numerous, if scattered, unselfconscious testimonies to the everyday activities of life, while the literature tends to focus on the deeds and to reflect the biases of men of power, wealth and literary culture. An example of that truism, striking (paradoxically enough) because probably so ordinary, is furnished by …
On P.Oxy. Xxvii 2479, James G. Keenan
On P.Oxy. Xxvii 2479, James G. Keenan
Classical Studies: Faculty Publications and Other Works
P.Oxy. 2479 is an unusual document in that, while it concerns an ?vaixOYpacpoe yecopyo?, it does not fit into either of the two classes of documents to which mentions of evaTioypacpoi yecopyot are otherwise almost exclusively restricted ? sureties and receipts for parts of agricultural machinery. ' It is instead a petition to his landlord from an evajioypacpoQ yecopyo? who had absented himself from his farm for three years and who has now asked for re-instate ment. The body of the text is written, as the editor observes, "in a straggling sixth-century hand with a marked inclination to the right." …
Two Byzantine Papyri From The Michigan Collection, James G. Keenan
Two Byzantine Papyri From The Michigan Collection, James G. Keenan
Classical Studies: Faculty Publications and Other Works
Purchased in the Fayûm in 1925, this papyrus contains the top part of a petition addressed by one Philoxenus possibly (far from certainly) to the governor of the province of Arcadia; see line 3 note. Surviving are (in part) the address (lines 1-4); a short proem (lines 5-8), virtually complete; and the beginning of the narrative of events leading up to the petition (lines 8-13). On palaeographic grounds I should be inclined to assign this piece to the sixth century. The address is written in a large, grand, up right hand, which decreases in thickness by the beginning and apparently …
From The Archive Of Flavius Eulogius And His Descendants, James G. Keenan
From The Archive Of Flavius Eulogius And His Descendants, James G. Keenan
Classical Studies: Faculty Publications and Other Works
The trends in Byzantine papyrological documentation and the archival origin of much of the papyrus evidence for Byzantine Egypt were at the XIth International Congress of Papyrology subjects of an instructive discussion by Professor R. Remondon. Evidence for late Byzantine Egypt to no small degree consists of extensive archives of private origin, chief among these being the archives of Dioscorus of Aphrodito and of the Apiones of Oxyrhynchus. Study of these archives, the identifying of individual pieces as belonging to archives, and the reconstructing of smaller archives from scattered pieces are necessary and profitable fields of scholarly endeavor in Byzantine …

The Case Of Flavia Christodote: Observations On Psi I 76, James G. Keenan
The Case Of Flavia Christodote: Observations On Psi I 76, James G. Keenan
Classical Studies: Faculty Publications and Other Works
Of the three periods into which the study of the Greek papyri from Egypt has been traditionally divided – Ptolemaic, Roman, Byzantine – it has become commonplace to note that the last named receives the least attention. An assortment of reasons has been offered to explain this lack of interest, including "un préjugé défavorable aux époques dites de décadence." But whatever the reason or reasons, and despite the truth of the commonplace, it is equally true that most of the Byzantine texts and archives have attracted at least some attention (much more rarely has the whole range of the Byzantine …
Oracula Mortis In The Pharsalia, John F. Makowski
Oracula Mortis In The Pharsalia, John F. Makowski
Classical Studies: Faculty Publications and Other Works
Although it departs from epic convention in many ways, most notably in the rejection of the deorum ministeria, the Pharsalia adheres to tradition in the matter of oracles and contains three visitations to a seat of prophecy. Appius goes to Delphi (5. 67-236), Sextus Pompeius to the Thessalian witch Erichtho (6. 413-830), and Cato to the temple of Jupiter Hammon (9. 511-86). The obvious similarities of the situations invite comparison, but no one has as yet attempted to analyze them as a unit.' Such a study, however, will be fruitful because the three episodes have more in common than first …
F.M. Ahl, Lucan: An Introduction, John F. Makowski
F.M. Ahl, Lucan: An Introduction, John F. Makowski
Classical Studies: Faculty Publications and Other Works
Frederick M. Ahl, well known to the scholar of Lucan through his recent articles on the Pharsalia, here undertakes to introduce the poet to a wider audience. He directs his work "to the Latinless reader as well as to the classicist." Both should welcome the effort, since even for the Latinist, Lucan's reputation has steadily declined from the time when Dante ranked him among the four great poets of antiquity. A book of an introductory nature has been long overdue, especially in the English speaking world where the last major study was Mark Morford's very fine The Poet Lucan.

A Papyrus Letter About Epicurean Philosophy Books, James G. Keenan
Classical Studies: Faculty Publications and Other Works
The J. Paul Getty Museum is housed in a successful recreation of the Villa dei Papyri in Herculaneum. Of the various types of artwork and artifacts bequeathed to the modern world by antiquity and now among the Museum's holdings, however, there was until recently a gap whose filling would have made the correspondence between the two buildings even more nearly complete. There were no papyri in the Museum's collection even though the original Villa was named after its rich library of papyrus rolls, containing mostly Epicurean texts. The first step to improve the situation in Malibu was taken by Mrs. …

Two Notes On P. Merton Ii 100, James G. Keenan
Two Notes On P. Merton Ii 100, James G. Keenan
Classical Studies: Faculty Publications and Other Works
The papyrus now accessible as P. Merton II 100 was first edited by H.I. Bell as "A Requisitioning Order for Taxes in Kind," in Aegyptus, fasc.2 (1951) (Raccolta Vitelli), pp. 307-12, and subsequently reprinted as SB VI 9232. The document, written during the emirate of Jordanes (ca. A.D. 699-704), is dated 23 Phaophi of the thirteen indiction (21 October 699). Difficulties of decipherment are owed to the colors of the inks that were used (they fade into the color of papyrus itself), the frequent use of abbreviation, and the extreme cursiveness of the second hand (lines 5-8). Nevertheless, some improvements …
On Law And Society In Late Roman Egypt, James G. Keenan
On Law And Society In Late Roman Egypt, James G. Keenan
Classical Studies: Faculty Publications and Other Works
Until recently, the Later Roman Empire was commonly judged to have been an age of severely restricted social mobility. Many individuals were bound to remain for life in their places of origin; others were compelled to take up their fathers' occupations or to perform services incumbent upon them by heredity. The traditional view, drawn largely from the evidence of the great imperial law codes, received its first broad challenge from Professor A. H.M.Jones, who on several occasions argued that society under the late Empire was actually more fluid than generally believed, even more mobile than it had been under the …
A Note On Lucan 8.860-1, John F. Makowski
A Note On Lucan 8.860-1, John F. Makowski
Classical Studies: Faculty Publications and Other Works
As it now stands in current editions of Lucan, the sentence contained in 8. 860-61 makes little or no sense. In dealing with it editors have resorted to emendation and various manipulations of punctuation, while commentators and translators have unsuccessfully attempted to wrench some meaning out of it.' Two versions of these lines have gained overwhelming acceptance by editors of Lucan. The first reads es of manuscript U and takes Fortuna as vocative. Thus Hosius and Bourgery: "nunc es pro numine summo / hoc tumulo, Fortuna, iacens." The other version-and indeed the more popular of the two-reads est with manuscripts …
