That Porphyry was wrong in assigning a double reckoning by regnal years to the period of association with Ptolemy XV had already been inferred from the existence of a coin dated (erour) cf. Strack, Dynastie der (Poole, Ca/al. p. 122) and demode stelae of the 5th and 6th years Ptol. 212. 1629 not only provides the first definite piece of evidence for the application of the title Philopator to Ptolemy XV, and additional evidence for the use of a single reckoning

by regnal years during the period of his association with Cleopatra, but indicates that the death of the king was not known at Oxyrhynchus on July 26, b. c. 44. Concerning the precise date and circumstances of that event there has hitherto been no clear evidence. Josephus i^Anl. Jud. xv. 4. i) states that Ptolemy XV was poisoned at the age of 15 by Cleopatra, and Porphyry /. c. attributes his death Tois in his 4th and her Mahaflfy (^Empire of the Ptol. 463) and Bouche-Leclercq (Hist, 8th year, i.e. b. c. 45-44. des Lagides, ii. 227) suppose that he perished at Rome in the confusioiT attending the assassination of Caesar on March 15, 44, especially as Cicero (Ad Att. xiv. 8) on April 15 refers to the flight of Cleopatra, and on May 11 (Ad Att. xiv. 20) mentions the queen and her son Caesar, but says nothing in either place about her brother. Dio, who mentions the presence of Ptolemy XV with Cleopatra at Rome (xliii. 27), seems to imply (xlviii. 24 Tovs e'v that he waS put tO death with Arsinoe by Antony, i.e. in e.g. 41; but according to Appian, Be/L civ. v. 9, the Ptolemy who was put to death with Arsinoe claimed to be Ptolemy XIV, having escaped from drowning in the Nile. That Ptolemy XV returned to Egypt with Cleopatra was supposed by Stahr (Cleopatra 56), but without any evidence, as is remarked by Bouche-Leclercq, I.e. Since Cleopatra left Rome not more than two or three weeks after March 15, 44, she presumably reached Egypt some weeks before July 26, and if Ptolemy XV died at Rome before his sister's departure, the news would on the whole be expected to have reached Oxyrhynchus by the date of 1629, although in the Roman period instances occur of papyri dated by an emperor who had been dead for as many as five months cf. Hohmann, Chronol. d. Papyrusurli. 50 sqq. We are therefore disposed to date the death of Ptolemy XV later than March 44, and to place it in Egypt rather than Rome, though allowance has to

Heron had sub-leased Claudia Isidora's land situated in the (Small) Oasis from two of her lessees. From 4 onwards the narrative becomes clear. Heron had begun the sowing for the current year when two individuals whom he was employing in connexion with the agriculture offered to pay 3co drachmae a year more as rent. Heron made no objection to surrendering his lease to them, provided that he recovered the expenses which he had already incurred. To assert (1. I2, n.) his claim he brought an action before the strategus, and after a was awarded 3 talents 400 drachmae. This sum, however, his opponents failed to pay, and in order to bring matters to a head Heron by the present application offered 1,55a drachmae a year more than they, making the whole rent i talent 3,000 (?) drachmae. This bid was accepted by the representative of the land-owner, the intermediate lessees being apparently ignored, just as they seem to be in the and government officials in B. G.

LEASE OF LAND AT AN INCREASED RENT

13

I leased from Ptolemaeus also called Astoparison and Ammonius also from the corn-land in the Oasis which is the property of Claudia Isidora the sowing of the said land for . arourae which they have on lease from her, carrying out the present year and providing the local cultivators with both seed and expenses, through envy of my operations Hermogenes son of Petenephotes and Isidorus son of ... whom I humanely (helped) in the management of the business, providing them with necessaries, offered in the bid which they presented to pay 200 drachmae a year more, one of them, Isidorus, using a false name, This bid from them I welcomed, and being desirous genes. neither to suffer nor to cause any trouble I claimed to recover from them the loan which they had received from me and other expenses, being subjected as regards them to a reckoning of accounts between us and certain honourable persons as the result of a confrontation before the strategus of the nome, the sum in question being 3 talents 400 drachmae. But as they pay no attention to me and even failed to appear before ihe court ., I offer against their bid to pay 1,552 dr. a year more, making the whole annual rent I tal. 3,000 dr., the stipulations laid down in their said bid being preserved as regards the and period stated in their bid and all its provisions. I, Aurelius Sarapodorus, am surety for the aforesaid Heron in respect of both the payment of rent and care of operations, and in answer to the formal question we gave our consent. This offer of lease is valid. The

of the nearly contemporary applications for leases of other kinds of land in the

Oxyrhynchite nome, 102-3, P. S. I. 90, 316, 469. The chief interest of the papyrus lies in the mention of the current 47th, a9th, and year which has an important bearing on the question of the eras employed from the 4th to 7th centuries at Oxyrhynchus for dating purposes in preference to indictions, which were commonly thought sufficient elsewhere in Egypt- The evidence of 1632 has already been taken into consideration in the discussion of those eras in 1431. 5, n. but fresh evidence has thrown much new light on the matter, which is rediscussed in detail in 1. 9, n. The 47th year can now be recognized as an era dating from the accession of Constantino I, who became Caesar in 306.

months Pauni or Epeiph, we formerly (in 1431. 5, n.) supposed that the 47th = 29th = 2nd year corresponded to the 12th indiction, i.e. began in the summer of 353 before Mesore i (July 25). Hence we regarded 307, 325, and 352 as the starting-points of the three years in question, and combining this with the evidence of 92, 1431, and 1575, in each of which the first two out of the three joint years mentioned were evidently reckoned on the same system as the first two years here, we were led to suppose the existence of local eras at Oxyrhynchus beginning in 307, 325, 334, 341, and 352 in addition to the two wellknown eras of that city dating from 324 and 355, which continued in joint use down to the seventh century. Since then, however, much new evidence is available, and our views have been materially altered. An Oxyrhynchus papyrus to be published in P. S. I. vi, of which Professor Vitelli has kindly supplied us with the text, is dated in Phamenoth of the year after the consulship of [Sergius] and Nigrinianus (Feb.-March 351), and mentions (fTovs) which implies 306 and 343 as starting-points, and suggests that the 47th year' in 1632 is 352-3, not 353-4. (eVoi;?) is, according to Vitelli, The reading not absolutely certain, and the '8th year' fails to correspond to either the second or the third of the three joint years in 1632 {v. m/.); but that the 47th year in 1632 is 352-3, not 353-4, is rendered practically certain by P. S. I. 469, which is also from Oxyrhynchus. This is dated in the consulship of Optatus and Paulinus, Thoth 21 (Sept. 18, 334), and is 6 iveaT[6s la (eros) . a lease np6s Here the iith and and years are obviously calculated on the same system as the 13th and 4th years in 92, where the 31st and 13th years are clearly on the same system as the 47 th and 29th in 1632. Vitelli restores the [eTos) passage 6 ([6 (eros) , and regards the years as regnal, the 29th referring to Constantine I Augustus, whose years in Egypt are counted from his accession as Caesar in 306 before Choiak 4 (cf 1750), the 19th to Constantine II Caesar, whose years are reckoned from his accession on March i, 317 {Fa.n\y-Wisso\vz, Realetic. iv. 1026), the nth to Constantius Caesar, whose years are similarly reckoned from Nov. 8, 324 {op. cii. iv. 1045), a'^d the 2nd to Constans Caesar, whose years are reckoned from Dec. 25, {(tos) and explanation 333 (''/ ^^^ iv 948) There is no doubt that Vitelli's restoration of the 29th, nth, and 2nd years are correct, but whether the 19th year (of Constantine II) is to be restored is uncertain for 92 mentions only three joint years (the 31st, 13th, and 4th), and omits the year of Constantine 11. On the other hand in the earlier part of Constantine I's reign, when Licinius was also Augustus, mentions of Constantine ll's years occur (e. g. P. Thead. 6), and in P. S. 1. 316, another fourth-century lease from Oxyrhynchus, but not dated by the consuls, Vitelli reads in 1. 4 [ro eVearoi] (eros) (eros) e (eruy). Here the 23rd and 5th years seem to refer to Constantine I and Constantius, and the undeciphered figure is probably ly, referring to Constantine II. In any case the 47 th and 29th years in 1632 are to be brought into line with the 23rd and 5th in P.S.I. 316, the [29th] and nth in P. S. I. 469, the 31st and 13th in 92, the 32nd (?) and [14th] in 1575, and now the 41st and 23rd in 1751; and the 47th year in 1632 presumably refers to the same reckoning as the 45th year in the unpublished papyrus in P.

THE OXYRHYNCHUS PAPYRI

The whole

evidence of papyri concerning dalings by numbered years other than 323 to Julian's death is combined in the following table, which replaces that given in 1431. 5, n., where 92, 1431, and 1575 are placed a year too early. An asterisk denotes the papyri which are independently dated by the consuls. To show the connexion with the familiar 5th-7th century datings by eras at Oxyrhynchus a sixth-century specimen is added.

Clinton, Fasti Rom. i. 420) place it before the Hence there is not much difficulty in supposing that Eutropius was elevation of Gallus. right in the sequence of events, and that the elevation of Gallus took place after the year
' ;

In any case it is quite unnecessary to assume Oxyrhynchus distinct from any regnal year. The years in the eighth column, starting from 355, refer to Julian, who became Caesar with Constandus as Augustus on Nov. 6, 355 {op. cit. iv. 1078), and Augustus on Nov. 3, 361 {v. sup.). After his death in 363 this reckoning along with that of Constantius Augustus remained in use at Oxyrhynchus until the Arab invasion. 1056 and 1695 both but 1057 belongs to his sole reign, fall within the period when Julian was only Caesar and the view that his regnal years in Egypt started from his accession as Caesar is supported not only by the analogy of the datings by both earlier and later fourth-century 7 th year' in Socrat. iii. 2r and emperors, but by the references to his death in his This point is a matter of some interest; for in the previous absence of Eutrop.

Seeing that the dating in that papyrus is evidently it to Severus Alexander. Egyptian, Dessau's explanation comes into direct conflict with the new evidence, and since the handwriting of P.

There remain to be explained the fifth and sixth columns, the nth year reckoned from 340 in 1431 and the 8th year from 343 in P. S.

These (i) The analogy of the isolated instances must be explained in one of three ways, other datings at this period would lead us to expect that both the nth and the 8th years In the East in 351 no other Augustus than refer to a reigning Augustus or Caesar. Constantius or other Caesar than Gallus is known, and, while neither of these is suitable, it is impossible in view of the well-known childlessness of the sons of Constantine I to suppose the existence of a Caesar ignored by the historians of this epoch. Hence if the nth year in 1431 and 8th year in P. S. I. vi refer to a reigning Augustus or Caesar, the There in the spring individual or individuals in question must have reigned in the West. of 351 the state of aflfairs was much disturbed, and the constitutional position not quite On Jan. 18, 350, Magnentius seized the purple in Gaul, and soon conquered Italy clear. and most of the western provinces except Illyria, where Vetranio assumed the purple. Constantius at first recognized both Vetranio, who made his submission at the end of 350, and Magnentius, who towards the end of 350 elevated his cousin Decentius to the rank of Constantius was not strong enough to attack the usurpers till the spring of 351, Caesar. 1431 the decisive battle of INIursa taking place on Sept. 28 of that year {pp. cif. iv. 1067). and P. S. I. vi therefore belong to the brief period when, owing to the recognition of Magnentius, a mention of him in Egyptian datings is possible; but there is the difficulty that the years in 1431 and P. S. I. vi are inconsistent with each other, and start fiom years (340 and 343) which have no apparent connexion vith Magnentius and his family. How long ]Magnendus had been in Gaul prior to his revolt seems to be unknown, but he would Hence the certainly be expected to have reckoned his regnal years from 350, not earlier. reference of the nth and 8th years to Magnendus as Augustus and one of his family as Caesar cannot be regarded as at all satisfactory, apart from the general improbability that in Egypt Magnentius' years were taken into account at all. (2) Another solution of the nth and 8th years refer to local eras observed at difficulty is to suppose that the Oxyrhynchus starting from 340 and 343, but not merely, as in the case of the eras of Constantine I, Constantius, and Juhan, forming a continuation of the regnal years of an Augustus after his death, Constantine II died shortly before April 9, 340 (cf p. 28), and since his regnal years, though certainly ignored in 92 (336), were mentioned in earlier papyri (z'. sup.\ the nth year in 1431 might be regarded as an era dating from liis death. This hypothesis, however, is open to the grave objection that Constantine II's death occurred several months before Thoth i (Aug. 29), 340, so that the figure of an era dating for the ist year from this event ought to have been at the date of 1431 12 not 11 ought to be April- August 28, 340, not a year ending Aug. 28, 341, as is implied in the case of the 45th and 27th years which are there associated with the nth. Hence (3), so long as the figures 1 1 in 1431 and 8 in P. S. I. vi remain unsupported, it is probably safest to regard them as erroneous. Mistakes in figures in connexion with the very complicated system of dating employed in fourth-century papyri are frequent, e.g. P. Grenf ii. 74. 7, where 17 is a mistake for i, and P. Strassb. 43. 13, where IvSktIovos is wrong. There is no reason to suppose that either the nth or the 8th year refers to the current indiction (the 9th), and the simplest change is to alter both figures and 8 to 18, and refer the year to Constans, on the hypothesis that for a dme after his death his reign became an era like that of Constantine I. There is no doubt concerning the reading la in 1431, and Vitelli is confident about the reading in P. S. I. vi, but it is not very difficult to suppose a scribe's omission of an t there between and . Fresh light may, however, be expected from the unpublished fourth-century material from Oxyrhynchus, which is very large. In the meantime it is sadsfactory that the era of Constantine I is established, and

the origin of the two principal Oxyrhynchite eras dating from 324 and 355 is explained. The Christians may have preferred the one, the pagans the other, but they were always used together, and it is remarkable that the memory of the Apostate should have been kept alive for three centuries.

the verso of 1531, a taxing-list of payments in corn, is a much abbrecopy of a contract for the division of landed property in the Oxyrhynchite and Hermopolite nomes among five persons, including a brother and sister (11. 1-2) and probably two brothers (11. ^-6). How the property, which is described came into the possession of the contracting in quite general terms as an was divided by the contract into two halves, of which parties does not appear it one was assigned to the three men in proportions which are not preserved, the details (11. 19-20) being for the most part omitted, while the other half was assigned to the two women, who receive | and \ respectively of the whole, the All the details (11. 27-36) presenting some new geographical information. parties to the contract were acting with or through some one else, and the

Mus. 282), is really immaterial, and that the money which a receipt is given actually changed hands, even though its amount is not stated, gains much support from 1639, which, without giving the actual sum, not

THE OXYRHYNCHUS PAPYRI

following Wilcken, that at Thebes in the early Roman period the were called after the names of individuals, the Oxyrhynchus examples of tax-receipts issued by banks may after all refer to the /,. Their formula is just the same as that found in

Wilcken's Os^. 361, 131 7, 1319-20, in which the substitution of 8fhos for found in his 1365, &c., probably does not affect the meaning materially. The only instance of an official bank with a name in the genitive is P. Tebt. 587 (about A. D. l) eVi Tij(i') [fv Evepy(^eTi8t) but this variation from the usual description of an official bank as one '' 6 bava is hardly parallel to the examples of banks called simply. At Arsinoe Preisigke considers that the bank in the quarter was a Staatsbank because some of its transactions concern official payments but the banks at Oxyrhynchus which he regards as private were to an even larger extent, so far as is knoAvn, concerned with official payments, and the case for separating the bank from the other banks at Arsinoe is not at all strong. At Hermopolis there was a bank known as all the transactions concerning it being of a private character. This too Preisigke on the evidence of the name regards as a Staatsbank but he classes the at Hermopolis (P. Flor. i. 3, &c., Strassb. 52. 8, Melanges Nicole 193, P. Ryl. 176. 2) with the private banks, though the parallelism between it and the bank at the Serapeum of Oxyrhynchus administered by (cf. p. 59) suggcsts that it was a bank which was normally leased, and, if so, it ought on Preisigke's theory of Staatsbanken to be identical with the We are therefore not prepared to accept his account of official and private banks in the Roman period as satisfactory. Our own view may be briefly expressed as follows. In the Ptolemaic period besides the there were banks called in P. Rev. Laws Ixxv-vi simply, which were all leased by the State and apparently called after the names of the lessees, as illustrated by the at Acoris (P. Reinach 7.9); but whether the at a village of the Arsinoite nome (P. Fay. 12) was, as Preisigke {op. cit. 10) supposes, a lessee rather than a is very doubtful. As soon as the Romans took Egypt, probably even earlier, make their appearance, and banks which were evidently not are found in connexion with official payments. Such banks are distinguished from the by being called after individuals but the bank-monopoly of the government still survived, and the persons who gave their names to banks, whether these were called or not, are probably to be regarded as lessees. In the second and third centuries these banks are sometimes found under the administration of official a circumstance which may be due to the difficulty of finding private persons willing to become lessees of banks, just as it became difficult to obtain tax-farmers (cf. 44) and agoranomi (cf. 1642). The existence in each metropolis of a single leased Staatsbank ', which was specially privileged in regard to official transactions, side by side with a number of purely private banks owned by individuals and not leased to them, seem to us unwarranted by the evidence which is so far available. 5-6. [[\. cf. int. and 1. 13, where the value per artaba in case of failure to deliver the wheat at the proper time is 4,000 drachmae.

A few lines at the end, containing the list of (six) witnesses and signatures, are missing. The formula resembles that of settlements of disputes or repayments of loans, of which the other first century B. c. examples are all Alexandrian of Augustus' reign (B. G. U. 1148, &c.), while of the second century B.C. examples only the illegible P. Amh. 43 (B.C. 179; Arsinoe) was (apparently)

In this case the only figure lost (9 den. .?) would be at the end of 1. 6. apparently means i dr., the other 4 being treated as equivalent to i denarius in accordance with the usual ratio of Egyptian drachmae to denarii ; cf. 1431. 3, n.

THE OXYRHYNCHUS PAPYRI

For determining his official rank there is no direct evidence, and it is not made who is meant by the second person used in 1. 103 but accounts of payments by individuals for Crown-tax were sent by to the strategus, as the head of the revenue-administration of the nome cf. P. Brit. Mus. 474. The geographical information provided by 1659 is of considerable interest. The order of the six toparchies is the same as that in 1285, which is also a taxinglist, and 1747, a list of persons serving in some official capacity (guards ?), and was evidently customary, proceeding in general from south to north. The enumeration of the toparchies in the Hermopolite nome found in the taxing-lists B. G. U. 552-7, which obsei-ves the following order (i) ()

Usually the section is much the longer and the sums are uniformly much larger, a circumstance which serves to account for the comparative smallness of the receipts recorded at the metropolis itself. In 1285 also, which is concerned with a tax called there are two lists but the order of the villages is the same in both, and the relative amounts of the payments correspond to a large extent, so that there is no reason to suppose that the two lists in 1285 refer to and

Pausanias to his brother Heraclides, greeting. I think that my brother Sarapammon has told you the reason why I went down to Alexandria, and I have previously written to you about the little Pausanias becoming a soldier of a legion. Since, however, he no longer wished to join a legion but a squadron, on learning this I was obliged to go down to him, although I did not want to. So after many entreaties from his mother and sister to transfer him to Coptos I went down to Alexandria, and employed many methods until he was transferred to the squadron at Coptos. I desired then to pay you a visit on the upward voyage, but we were limited by the furlough granted to the boy by the most illustrious praefect, and for this reason I was not able to visit you. If the gods will, I will therefore try to come to you for the feast of Amesysia. Do you then, brother, see to the deed of mortgage, so that it be prepared in the customary way. I urge you, brother, to write to me about your safety, since I heard at Antinoopolis that there has been plague in your neighbourhood. Do not therefore neglect this, that I may rest more assured about you. Many salutations to my lady mother and my sister and our children, whom the evil eye shall not harm. Pausanias salutes you. I pray for the health of you and all your household. (Addressed) To the Oxyrhynchite nome, for Heraclides son of froui his brother Pausanias.'

what follows a single person is primarily addressed, whose name, as shown by the endorsement on the recto, was Sopatrus. After describing some negotiations concerning certain workshops, the workmen in which seem to have been demanding higher wages, the writer urges Sopatrus to come, since the praefect had granted an amnesty and there was no longer any danger. To what this refers is obscure, but evidently Sopatrus had been involved in some recent disturbance, and he may have been (cf. Wilcken, Grundz. 196).
