This volume contains editions of 35 texts, which have been excavated nearly 100 years ago in the ancient Egyptian village of Karanis, and which were still waiting publication. As all texts written on papyrus from the Egyptian countryside, these texts give a new insight into the life of the people who dwelled in a typical village of the Roman period in Egypt. The texts show the cultural diversity of those who cohabitated, whether they had Greek or Egyptian names, whether their main gods were the crocodiles or Zeus. In the lives of all of them tax-paying played an important role, as well as caring for their cattle and fields, doing business, and fullfilling the obligations of the Roman government. In particular interesting is the personage of Socrates the tax-collector. Since the ruins of Karanis are still standing (and worth a visit) with two nearly intact temples from the period of the texts, a more complete image of village life emerges from texts and the archaeology behind them. Papyrologists welcome every newly published text as a further stone of the mosaic image that they try to create of the past.

Die Zeitschrift Archiv für Papyrusforschung und verwandte Gebiete ist das älteste papyrologische Fachorgan der Welt. Sieunterscheidet sich von anderen papyrologischen Zeitschriften hauptsächlich durch ihre Referate (literarische Papyri, christliche Texte, Urkundenreferat, juristisches Referat, koptische Texte und Urkunden, Demotica Selecta sowie Darstellungen und Hilfsmittel). Die Beihefte zu der Zeitschrift vereinen sowohl Monographien als auch Sammelbände; im Zentrum stehen Neueditionen von Papyrustexten griechischer, lateinischer, koptischer, demotischer oder arabischer Sprache, die neue Erkenntnisse zu verschiedenen Bereichen des Altertums vermitteln: zu Philologie, Literatur, Philosophie, Religion, Politik und Sozialgeschichte, zu Militär- und Rechtsgeschichte, zu Geographie und Landeskunde, zu Schul- und Gesundheitswesen und zum Alltagsleben; kurzum, zur antiken Kulturgeschichte überhaupt

Frederic Krueger zeigt anhand der Edition von fast 600 koptischen Ostraka, dass sich in Leipzig und anderen Sammlungen große Mengen von koptischen Ostraka befinden, die nicht, wie es meist der Fall ist oder pauschal angenommen wird, aus dem Theben des 7./8. Jh. stammen, sondern aus dem südlich angrenzenden Gebiet der Bezirkshauptstadt Hermonthis im 6. Jh. ? ein bislang archäologisch vernachlässigter und papyrologisch kaum greifbarer (Zeit-)Raum. Neben ?mikrohistorischen? Eindrücken vom alltäglichen Leben im bislang obskuren Kloster des Apa Hesekiel zeichnen sich ebenso ?makrohistorische? Dimensionen ab: Die Ostraka dokumentieren die letzten Jahrzehnte der frühesten Phase (vom 4. Jh. bis ca. 600) der Entwicklung des koinobitischen Mönchtums im Gebiet der südlichen Qena-Nilbiegung, die bislang nur in ihrer ?mittleren Phase? des 7./8. Jh. in Theben West detailreich greifbar war. Auch die Kirchengeschichte während der kritischen Zeit des 6. Jh. gewinnt papyrologische Konturen: Apa Andreas ? Abt, Priester, Bischof und ?Vater aller Mönche der Ökumene? (d.h. wohl: ein überregionaler Klösteradministrator) in der neuen monophysitischen Kirche ? ist der große Protagonist unter den Ostraka, die oft von seiner Hand geschrieben sind und wahrscheinlich in den Trümmern seines Archivs gefunden wurden

The second volume of the Giessen Papyri (P.Giss. II) includes an edition of two previously unpublished Greek documents. The first one, numbered 127, is a notebook roll from Philadelphia dated to the last years of Vespasian's reign, containing nine documents concerning overdue rents for land in the ousiac parces; of particular interest is a draft of a complaint regarding peculation addressed to Ammonios, strategos of the Herakleidou meris. The second, numbered 128, is a fiscal codex from the Hermopolite nome, dated to the second half of the fourth century. This papyrus offers direct insight into many taxation issues, including the method of tax assessment based on the concept of kephale, which is still poorly understood; it also provides information regarding key fiscal changes that occurred after the reforms of Diocletian. The editions of these papyri will help scholars to reconstruct specific details of everyday life in Roman and Late Roman Egypt in areas including taxation, monetary systems, land tenure, onomastics, prosopography, administration, and social and economic situations.

Die Universitatsbibliothek in Basel ist im Besitz einer kleinen Papyrussammlung von 63 Papyri aus ptolemaischer, roemischer sowie spatantiker Zeit in uberwiegend griechischer, aber auch hieratischer, lateinischer, koptischer und mittelpersischer Sprache. Der Freiwillige Museumsverein der Stadt Basel erwarb sie im Jahre 1899 fur die Universitatsbibliothek und machte damit Basel zur einer der ersten Universitaten, die im Besitz einer Sammlung griechischer Papyri war. Im fruhen 20. Jahrhundert nahm sich zwar der an der Universitat Basel als Professor fur Rechtsgeschichte lehrende Ernst Rabel (Basel 1906-1910) der Sammlung an und bearbeitete einige ausgewahlte Texte. Doch er beliess es bei einer Auswahl von 26 Papyri, die er als "Papyrusurkunden der OEffentlichen Bibliothek der Universitat zu Basel" wahrend des 1. Weltkriegs im Jahre 1917 publizierte. Dieser Band bietet nun eine Reedition der bereits bekannten Stucke und eine Erstedition aller weiteren Basler Papyri.

Published here for the first time, the administrative records from P. Trier II 15 are comprised of 15 written documents, among them alongside official correspondence the legacies of Ptolemy VI and Ptolemy VIII. The documents assembled in the records served the purpose of processing the petitions of a soldier following his return from a campaign, as he seeks to obtain the privileges promised to him.

This volume of Papyri contains a selection of 25 pieces which were excavated in the village of Karanis in the north-eastern Fayum (Egypt) by American archaeologists between 1924 and 1926. Many of the texts published here come from the archive of a well known figure in the village life of Karanis in the 2nd century AD: Socrates, son of Sarapion, was a tax collector here for many years, serving the Roman Empire collecting taxes due in money and in kind. Besides his successful economic activities - Socrates certainly belonged to the upper stratum of society in Karanis - the tax collector was a lover of Greek literature; for sure, he did not venture into high philosophy and the like, but he read Homer, comedies, and tried to be up to date about mythology in plays. Half of the new texts published here are literary, mostly from Socrates' library; other texts were found in the immediate neighbourhood of where Socrates lived, such as a surgical treatise about remedies of shoulder dislocations, which perhaps belonged to a doctor. The other half of the papyrus texts in this volume are documents that can shed new light on the activities of the tax collector, or of other inhabitants of Karanis. Altogether they give us a vivid picture of village life in Graeco/Roman Egypt in the 2nd century AD.
