INTRODUCTION The primary goal of this publication is to provide a comprehensive and up-to-

date catalogue of the villages and hamlets of the Oxyrhynchite nome, the administrative

region of Graeco-Roman Egypt centred around the city of Oxyrhynchus (modern al-

Bahnasa). Although the majority of Oxyrhynchite papyri were excavated from the

rubbish mounds of the city itself, they preserve the names of several hundred rural

settlements (villages, hamlets, farmsteads) from its wider territory. The principal

reference of Oxyrhynchite villages hitherto has been Paola Pruneti’s fundamental I

centri abitati dell’Ossirinchite. Since its publication almost three decades ago, however, a

great number of papyri attesting Oxyrhynchite settlements, both new and known, have

been published and various corrections have been made to some of the instances listed

in that work. For evidence postdating Pruneti’s catalogue, the thorough scholar has been

obliged to consult the (now five) Supplementi to Calderini-Daris, Dizionario dei nomi

geografici e topografici dell’Egitto greco-romano, the Heidelberg WörterListen of recently

published papyri,1 and volumes VIII–XII of the Berichtigungsliste. Furthermore, some

important studies on the topography of the Oxyrhynchite nome have appeared in the

past two decades (see the Bibliography). It has seemed useful therefore to present a new

repertory of Oxyrhynchite settlements incorporating all these accretions as well as

contributing some new suggestions and corrections. It will hopefully facilitate further

study of the historical topography of the nome and aid papyrologists editing or studying

Oxyrhynchite texts. In view of the high turnout of Oxyrhynchite papyri, particularly in

The Oxyrhynchus Papyri series, a digital publication has been deemed preferable to a

printed book, as it will allow the catalogue to be revised and updated at regular intervals

in light of new papyri, studies, and corrections.

A secondary purpose of this work is to present synoptically the information

recoverable from the papyri about individual villages. This information is presented in

summary form under several categories (see below). But while every care has been taken

1 http://www.papy.uni-hd.de/WL/WL.html

9

to make the list of a settlement’s instances as accurate and comprehensive as possible,

this second part cannot be taken to be exhaustive and does not obviate the need to

reexamine the original publications for confirmation, greater details, and most

importantly context. It is meant to serve merely as a rough guide or index to the sources,

in order to allow papyrologists and historians to find references relevant to their

particular interests without the need to sift through all the instances of a village.

Like Pruneti’s above-cited work, this catalogue does not list every attested rural

toponym,2 but solely ‘centri abitati’. There are several criteria for identifying a

settlement in the papyrological record. The designation of a toponym, if given or

preserved, is usually the most obvious indication.3 The terms kome (village) and

epoikion (hamlet) are the standard and unambiguous designations of rural settlements.4

Toponyms genitivally dependent on the word topoi designate the centre of a district for

the collection of the grain tax and were relatively important villages.5 The terms chorion

and ktema are more ambivalent and are not by themselves sufficient to identify a

settlement, since they frequently qualify viticultural sites that were not necessarily

nucleated or permanent settlements.6 Other possible pointers of inhabited centres are

2 For other toponyms see the references in Verreth, Survey of Toponyms, or the more up-to-date entries

on the Trismegistos database: http://www.trismegistos.org/geo/index.php. 3 For an analysis of the percentages and chronological repartition of settlements’ designations, see Krüger,

Oxyrhynchos in der Kaiserzeit 45–6. 4 In the Ptolemaic and early Roman periods, epoikia ‘were essentially by origin “tied” or estate villages, as

opposed to the independent komai, although it is clear that some developed into independent settlements, to be included in the Roman administrative lists of villages ..., or elevated to the status of kome, as was Dositheou’ (Rowlandson, ‘Oxyrhynchus and its hinterland’ 210). In the late antique period epoikia proliferate in the papyrological record and designate estate-owned hamlets that lacked the autonomous administrative institutions of komai; see J. Banaji, ‘Agrarian history and the labour organisation of Byzantine large estates’, in A. K. Bowman, E. Rogan (edd.), Agriculture in Egypt from Pharaonic to Modern Times (Oxford 1999) 206–7, and cf. Mazza, L’archivio degli Apioni 79. 5 See R. Boehm, ‘Contribution à l’étude de l’administration romaine en Égypte’, Hermes 81 (1953) 473–8. 6 On the meaning of chorion, see R. S. Bagnall, ‘The date of P. Kell. I G. 62 and the meaning of χωρίον’,

CE 74 (1999) 329–33 (cf. esp. p. 332: ‘the dominant sense was that of non-inundated land, primarily used for growing tree crops of various sorts, but especially vineyards, and sometimes also containing farm buldings or equipment’), and Hickey, A Public “House” but Closed 30–34. In the period following the

Islamic conquest, ‘the word χωρίον is used for most settlements in rural areas, especially in Middle Egypt,

having become a generic term for separate fiscal districts in the hinterland of the pagarchies (the old

10

the description of a person as ‘from (apo)’ a certain place, the identification of a

toponym by membership to an administrative subdivision of the nome, and the

description of a toponym as under the administration of a functionary (e.g. a village

scribe or sitologos). Some toponyms whose status as settlements is uncertain are also

listed; see below under Name on how these are marked.

The chronological framework of the catalogue is the ‘Graeco-Roman period’

broadly defined, from the third century BCE to the eighth century CE. The catalogue is

based primarily on documentary sources of the period, essentially Greek papyri and

ostraca. Some tentative identifications of villages in the Demotic ostraca from

Oxyrhynchus (housed chiefly in Pisa) are also listed.7 Occasional literary instances are

signaled and, when appropriate, references are made to Timm, Das christlich-koptische

Ägypten, for late Coptic and Arabic literary sources.

The following is a brief explanation of the structure of the entries and the

categories of information abstracted from the papyri:

Name. The name of the settlement is usually given in its most common or (in the

case of Greek toponyms) its etymologically correct form. Toponyms that are fossilized

genitives, e.g. personal names or occupations genitivally dependent on a word like

epoikion or kome, are lemmatized as such (Ϲατύρου sc. ἐποίκιον, ‘the hamlet of Satyros’;

Ἀκτουαρίου sc. ἐποίκιον, ‘the hamlet of (the) actuarius’). When a toponym is attested

only in the genitive and it is unclear whether it is a fossilized genitive or not, or if the

nominative form is otherwise uncertain (e.g. Παγγουλεείου, nom. Παγγουλέειοϲ or

Παγγουλέειον?), the word is kept in the case in which it appears. The most frequent or

important graphic variants are lemmatized in the catalogue itself with cross-references;

others are given in Index II. For accentuation I have followed the rules laid down by W.

Clarysse, ‘Greek accents on Egyptian names’, ZPE 119 (1997) 177–84 (Egyptian

toponyms without a Greek ending are not accented). nomes)’ (N. Gonis, BMCR review of Falivene, The Herakleopolite Nome, in http://ccat.sas.upenn.edu/bmcr/2001/2001-02-13.html). On the sense of ktema as ‘a walled enclosure’ (often a vineyard) ‘as opposed to the open fields’, see D. Rathbone, Economic Rationalism and Rural Society in Third-Century A.D. Egypt (Cambridge 1991) 33. 7 On these see Zauzich, Enchoria 15 (1987) 169–79.

11

The following system of stars, placed before the toponym, is used to mark

doubtful Oxyrhynchite settlements:

* = the membership of the village in the Oxyrhynchite nome is uncertain.

** = the status of the toponym as a settlement is uncertain.

*** = both Oxyrhynchite membership and status as toponym are uncertain.

Trismegistos URL. Every toponym is given a unique number (‘Geo ID’) and card

in the file ‘Places’ of the online Trismegistos database.8 The URL under each lemma in

the catalogue corresponds to the relevant Trismegistos webpage, with a hyperlink

allowing easy transition from the catalogue to the database.

Instances. The instances of each settlement are listed in chronological order.

Entries in the Berichtigungsliste, where pertaining to the toponymn in question, and

significant graphic variants beyond common phonetic spellings (e.g. iotacims) are noted

between parentheses after the relevant instance. Dates should be assumed to be CE

unless explicitly marked BCE. If not otherwise indicated, dates are those given by the

Heidelberger Gesamtverzeichnis der griechischen Papyrusurkunden Ägyptens;9 one

should consult the relevant entry of HGV for references to the latest amendments of

editorial dates. The column after the date records the Greek designation of the

settlement where known (kome, epoikion, topoi, ktema, chorion; see above). The

following sigla are used for these designations:

< > = the designation is deduced from the gender of an accompanying article or

adjective.

[ ] = the designation is restored by the editor in a lacunose passage.

Uncertain instances. Highly uncertain instances, where the toponym is restored

on questionable grounds, or where its restoration is cautiously suggested in an editorial

note.

Delenda. Instances that were incorporated in Pruneti, I centri, or read

afterwards, but whose reading is no longer correct. Older (i.e. pre-Pruneti) delenda are

not listed.

12

Etymology/form. The proposed etymology of the toponym. Noteworthy forms

and morphological peculiarities are also occasionally noted.

Administrative subdivision. Up to 307/8 CE, the Oxyrhynchite nome was

divided into six administrative areas called ‘toparchies’: Upper (southernmost),

Western, Eastern, Middle, Thmoisepho, and Lower (northernmost). After 307/8 the six

toparchies were replaced by ten pagi, which were numbered in a roughly ascending

south-north sequence. The greater number of pagi means that the territories of most

toparchies were subsequently included under two or more pagi. For an overview of the

approximate layout, boundaries and sizes of these administrative subdivisions, see

Rowlandson, Landowners and Tenants 8–15. On the pagi see also P.Oxy. LV 3795

introd., Pruneti, ‘Toparchie e pagi’, eand., ‘Ancora su toparchie e πάγοι

dell’Ossirinchite’. A list of the villages for which the toparchy and/or pagus is known is

presented in Index I.

Arabic/modern counterpart. For most of the proposed identifications of ancient

toponyms with modern ones I refer to Gomaà et al., Mittelägypten, except where other

scholars or I have disagreed or made suggestions not appearing therein. Many of the

identifications based solely on phonetic grounds are hypothetical and need to be

confirmed against the internal evidence provided by the papyri for the relative location

of the ancient settlement. Ancient settlements plausibly identified with modern sites are

listed in Index V and are plotted on the maps at the end of this publication.

Relative location. The location of the settlement relative to others on the basis of

the internal evidence of the papyri, or more general associations between villages.

Indications of geographical proximity range from the explicit qualification of a village as

near another to inter-village disputes to the presence of inhabitants of one village as

lessees of land in another (presumably neighbouring) village.10 Villages that were part of

the same prostasia (administrative district) of the extensive ‘Apion’ estate are also

assumed to have been ‘close enough together to be managed conveniently by a single

steward’ (pronoetes).11 For a schematic representation of the relationships between some 10 For the latter phenomenon, cf. the remarks of Rowlandson, Landowners and Tenants 268. 11 J. R. Rea, P.Oxy. LV p. 96; cf. also Hickey, A “Public” House but Closed 258. On the Apionic prostasiai, see further Mazza, L’archivio degli Apioni 87–102, 179.

villages, see also Krüger, Oxyrhynchos in der Kaiserzeit 50–53. More recently, G. Ruffini,

Social Networks in Byzantine Egypt (Cambridge 2008) ch. 2, has applied the tools of

‘social network analysis’ to investigate the pattern of ties between Oxyrhynchite villages

(in particular those connected with the Apion estate) in late antiquity.

Position in official lists of villages. The immediate villages listed before and after

the village in question in official or semi-official administrative lists and accounts (up to

the fourth century only; the order in estate accounts, lists, etc. of the later period is not

given). The order of villages in such lists does not necessarily correspond to a

geographical organization. However, villages that are fairly consistently named after one

another can often be assumed to have been relatively proximate, provided this can be

confirmed by other indications such as identifications with modern toponyms or other

documents closely associating the two places. See P.Wash.Univ. II 81 introd. pp. 89–93

for further discussion of the issue.

Categories of associated lands. E.g. catoecic (katoikike), private (idiotike), royal

(basilike), public (demosia), uninundated (abrochos), confiscated, etc. For a good review

of the land category system of Roman Egypt and its development, particularly in

relation to the Oxyrhynchite nome, see Rowlandson, Landowners and Tenants ch. 2

(with further bibliography).

Cultures/agricultural products. E.g. wheat, wine, barley, the various fodder

crops (chortos, arakos, chlora), vegetables, palm and other fruit trees, oil, cheese, etc. For

an overview of the crops grown in the Oxyrhynchite nome, see Rowlandson,

Landwoners and Tenants 19–25. For more details on individual crops, see M. Schnebel,

Die Landwirtschaft im hellenistischen Ägypten (München 1925). Note that the

ubiquitous wheat is only signaled when it is explicitly attested as a crop (e.g. in leases);

documents such as sitologos receipts and grain accounts are ignored.

Associated kleroi. Kleroi were initially allotments granted to military settlers in

the early Ptolemaic period. The names of the early settlers eventually became

permanently linked with their allotments, so that even after the cleruchic system was

superseded, kleroi continued to function as topographical designations, particularly to

identify the location of a parcel of land in a village’s territory. Only kleroi explicitly

associated with particular villages are listed. On kleroi of the Oxyrhynchite nome, see

14

Pruneti, ‘I κλῆροι del nomo Ossirinchite’. On Greek settlement in Ptolemaic

Oxyrhynchus, see further Rowlandson, ‘Oxyrhynchus and its hinterland’ 208–11, and

on fossilized kleros names in general, see F. Zucker, ‘Beobachtungen zu den

permanenten Klerosnamen’, in Studien zur Papyrologie und antiken

Wirtschaftsgeschichte Friedrich Oertel zum achtzigsten Geburtstag gewidmet (Bonn 1964)

101–6.

Irrigation. E.g. canals, dikes, mechanai,12 lakkoi, irrigation work, etc. On the

vocabulary related to irrigation, see D. Bonneau, Le régime administratif de l’eau du Nil

dans l’Égypte grecque, romaine et byzantine (Leiden 1993).

Topographical features. Buildings associated with the village, such as granaries,

houses, workshops, or other features such as harbours, threshing floors, streets,

dovecotes, etc. Note that granaries are listed only when they are explicitly attested, not

when they are merely implied e.g. by giro transfer of grain through sitologoi. On the

vocabulary of house architecture, see G. Husson, OIKIA: Le vocabulaire de la maison

privée en Égypte d’après les papyrus grecs (Paris 1983), and R. W. Daniel, Architectural

Orientation in the Papyri (Pap.Colon. 34; Padeborn 2010).

Animals. E.g. donkeys, sheep, goats, oxen, etc.

Religion. E.g. Temples, priests, festivals, churches, monasteries, etc. See further

Whitehorne, ‘The pagan cults of Roman Oxyrhynchus’, and Timm, Das christlich-

koptische Ägypten.

Officials. E.g. administrative and other officials, liturgists, police, village elders,

etc. For the first to fourth centuries, see in general N. Lewis, The Compulsory Public

Services of Roman Egypt2 (Pap.Flor. 28; Firenze 1997). For the late antique period, see

the useful excursus on ‘Die Leitung der Dörfer’ in G. Schmelz, Kirchliche Amtsträger in

spätantiken Ägypten nach den Aussagen der griechischen und koptischen Papyri und

Ostraka (München 2002) 296–309.

12 Note that mechane can have either the strict sense of ‘waterwheel’ or the extended one, common in the late antique period, of ‘artificially irrigated plot of land’; see P.Oxy. LV 3803 introd. and Bonneau, Le régime 222.

15

Occupations. E.g. traders, craftsmen, estate administrators, agricultural

labourers, etc. For the Imperial period, see most recently K. Ruffing, Die berufliche

Spezialisierung in Handel und Handwerk (Rahden/Westf. 2008).

Noteworthy landowners. Important landowners and estates, e.g. office-holding

Oxyrhynchites, Alexandrians, imperial estates, the aristocracy of late antiquity, etc. For

some such landowners of the early Roman period, see Rowlandson, Landowners and

Tenants (index), and A. K. Bowman in P.Thomas pp. 11–17. I have not usually included

the evidence of private accounts in village granaries. For the Apion estate, whose large

archive dominates the papyrological evidence of Oxyrhynchus from the end of the fifth

to the beginning of the seventh centuries, see in general Mazza, L’archivio degli Apioni

and Hickey, A “Public” House but Closed (both have appendices listing some Apionic

villages; for a more inclusive list see Index IV below).

Military. E.g. Ptolemaic military settlers, veterans, etc.

Taxes and other imposts. For the taxes of Roman Egypt up to the end of third

century, the standard reference work remains S. R. Wallace, Taxation in Egypt from

Augustus to Diocletian (Princeton 1938). Not listed are generic terms such as demosia,

argyrika/chrysika or embole.

Terms for which there is no standard English translation (e.g. chortos, mechane)

are reported only in Greek, transliterated phonetically in italic Roman letters (th = θ; k =

κ; y = υ but αυ/ευ/ου = au/eu/ou; ph = φ; ch = χ; no distinction between epsilon and eta,

omicron and omega). Proper names, with the exception of ‘Oxyrhynchus’ and Latin

names, are usually transliterated in the same manner, but do not appear in italics (e.g.

Kallistratos, Sinkepha).

For very recent publications of papyri in journal articles that have not yet been

incorporated in the Sammelbuch, I have checked the standard papyrological journals

(Aegyptus –89, Anal.Pap. –21/22, APF –57, BASP –48, CE –86, Comunicazioni Vitelli –9,

JJP –40, Tyche –26, ZPE –180), but may have missed some publications in other journals

and volumes if they are not yet listed in the APF ‘Urkundenreferate’.

It is inevitable that a compilation of this kind will contain errors and

inaccuracies. Corrections and suggestions will be warmly welcomed. Editors of

16

Oxyrhynchite texts are also encouraged to signal relevant new publications to me for

future editions of the catalogue. Please email me at amin.benaissa@classics.ox.ac.uk.

The first version of this work was completed in the first year (2008/9) of a

Leverhulme Early Career Fellowship at the Faculty of Classics, University of Oxford.

Revisions and updates for the second version were made during the tenure of a British

Academy Postdoctoral Fellowship in 2010–12 at the same Faculty. I am greatly indebted

to the Leverhulme Trust and the British Academy for their support. I also warmly thank

Prof. Alan Bowman for his advice and encouragement, Dr Nikolaos Gonis, Prof. Todd

Hickey and Dr Herbert Verreth for some corrections and additions, and the two

anonymous referees for their comments. Finally, I am very grateful to the editors of

Trismegistos Online Publications for accepting this work in their series.

P.Oxy. 2235 concerns a dispute over whether a piece of land belongs to the taxable territory of Adaiou or Terythis (Eastern toparchy; 4th pagus), suggesting that the two villages were close neighbours. Adaiou is in the same prostasia of the Apion estate as Matreou and Episemou (Upper toparchy; 3rd pagus) [P.Oxy. 136, 2196]. Two men from Adaiou take under lease land in Oasitou, which could imply relative proximity between the two settlements [P.Mert. 17].

Relative location: in P.Oxy. 1137 the public dues of Akoutou are paid to the boethos of Sarapionos Chairemonos (Eastern toparchy; 5th pagus), suggesting proximity between the two localities (cf. P.Oxy. 3863.3–4 n.). Cultures/agricultural products: wine is mentioned in P.Oxy. 3863, but does not necessarily imply viticulture in the area. Religion: priests and deacons [P.Oxy. 3863] Officials: meizon [P.Oxy. 1137 (but he might alternatively belong to Sarapionos Chairemonos)]; grammateus [P.Oxy. 1137 (but he might alternatively belong to Sarapionos Chairemonos)] Note: ‘The plurality of priests and deacons suggests that it [Akoutou] was a fairly large place’ (P.Oxy. 3863.3–4 n.).

Mazza, L’archivio degli Apioni 86, and see below s.v.). A person from the epoikion Pilasienous gives surety for an enapographos georgos from Aktouariou, perhaps indicating proximity between the two settlements [PSI 62]. Aktouariou is named with Phatement in P.Oxy. 1913.67 (cf. also P.Oxy. 2012.1) and with Mega Eirenarcheion in P.Oxy. 2012. A localization near Oxyrhynchus would throw further doubts on the restoration of P.Oxy. 1856.2, since that village is mentioned alongside Herakloasianou and Keuothis, the latter situated in the Cynopolite nome (cf.

Relative location: in the same Apionic prostasia as Pakiak, Kisson, Trigyou, Loukiou, Tarousebt and Kotyleeiou [P.Oxy. 1911, 3804], which was apparently in the southern part of the nome, not far from Isieion Panga (see P.Oxy.

In P.Oxy. 1911.89 and 3804.161 there is mention of land encroached by sand (psammochostos), suggesting that the village was close to the desert edge. For other connections with Isieion Panga, cf.

Episemou is coupled with Terythis (Eastern toparchy; 4th pagus) in SB 12523 and is in the same Apionic prostasia as Adaiou (Eastern toparchy; 4th pagus) and Matreou [P.Oxy. 136, 2196]. These indications suggest that it lay in the north-eastern corner of the Upper toparchy; see further Rowlandson, Landowners and Tenants 11. In P.Turner 25 a man from Episemou takes under lease fishing rights in Seryphis (Western toparchy; 3rd pagus). The epoikion Sekoundou was probably in the vicinity [P.Oxy. 4802.7]. Cultures/agricultural products: lentils [P.Oxy. 1192]; wheat [P.Oxy. 2188, PSI 1408]; wine [P.Oxy. 3960]; see also Note below. Irrigation: see Note below. Topographical features: threshing floor [P.Harr. 80(?), P.Oxy. 2188] Animals: donkeys [P.Coll.Youtie 125, SB 1513] Officials: apaitetai annones [P.Oxy. 1192] Occupations: Apionic pronoetes [P.Oxy. 136, 2196 (Serenus, who is also deacon)]; non-Apionic (third-century) pronoetes [P.Oxy. 1192]; guard (phylax) [P.Oxy. 4802]

Noteworthy landowners: Apion estate [P.Oxy. 136, 2196, 3805, 3960, 4802 (pagarchoumene by the Apiones)] Taxes and other imposts: crown-tax [P.Oxy. 1659]; grain collected from Episemou by the epimeletes of the military camp at Psobthis [P.Oxy. 4089] Note: since the beginning of the document is lost, it is unclear whether the terms of the land lease P.Harr. 80 relate to land around Episemou (in whose threshing floor the rent is to be paid). The lease mentions wheat, chlora, lachanospermon, acacia trees, hydreumata, and a mechane.

Administrative subdivision: Upper toparchy Relative location: in P.Oxy. 3488 and 3489 lessees of land in Thmoithothis are from the Cynopolite nome and are required to pay the rent in the threshing floors of Nigrou (Upper toparchy; 2nd pagus) and Archibiou (Upper toparchy) respectively, suggesting that these villages were relatively close to one another and near the Cynopolite border (cf. Rowlandson, Landowners and Tenants 11 n. 14, who wonders, in view of the lack of instances after the first century, whether the village was later transferred to the Cynopolite nome).

Uncertain instances: CPR XXII 3.5 (Ἰϲίω Κάτω; see n. ad loc.) VII/VIII chorion Etymology: see above s.v. Ἰϲιεῖον Administrative subdivision: Lower toparchy Arabic/modern counterpart: Salaqus(?) (Rowlandson, ‘Oxyrhynchus and its hinterland’ 208; cf. P.Khalili I 1.10, where the Arabic equivalent begins with Sal[). Relative location: the specification Κάτω indicates that the village lay in the northern part of the Lower toparchy (cf. Ἰϲιεῖον Ἄνω , also in the Lower toparchy, and see P.Oxy. 4748.4–5 n.). In P.Oxy. 1866 a dispute between Spania and Kosmou is mediated by Isieion Kato and Phebichis (Heracleopolite), suggesting relative proximity between these villages. The close association between Isieion Kato and some villages of the Heracleopolite nome (especially Phebichis) is also evident in SPP 1346 and P.Laur. 47. CPR XXII 3 is an uncertain case because, according to its editor, the village was west of Herakleopolis (assuming that the writer’s point of departure was the city), which is too far north to allow an identification with the Oxyrhynchite Isieion Kato. Position in official lists of villages: between Talao and Psobthis [P.Oxy. 1285]; between Talao and Isieion Tryphonos [P.Oxy. 1529] Animals: donkey [P.Oxy. 4748]; horses [SPP 1346] Religion: distribution of alms (zakat) to the poor [P.Khalili I 1] Occupations: ergates (sent to Babylon) [P.Sijp. 37] Noteworthy landowners: Apion estate [P.Oxy. 1866(?)] Other: ‘fugitives of the pagarchy’ are mentioned in CPR XXII 3, but it is unclear whether these people fled from or to Isieion Kato (see editor’s introd.).

An ἐποίκιον in the same toparchy was called Ἴϲτρου …, the name of the Danube and a settlement at the mouth of the Danube.

Relative location: named with Aktouariou(?) and Herakloasianou in P.Oxy. 1856. Land in the fields of Mermertha (Upper toparchy; 1st pagus) is περὶ Κεύωθειν [P.Oxy. 4091], implying close proximity between the two villages. Irrigation: mechane (called Πετεαρ/) [P.Lond. 776] Topographical features: granary [P.Oxy. 4611] Animals: donkeys [O.Wilck. 1100] Officials: meizones [SB 12324] Occupations: Apionic pronoetes [P.Oxy. 1856 (Ioseph)] Noteworthy landowners: Apion estate [P.Oxy. 1856, P.Lond. 776 (pagarchoumene by the Apiones)] Note: Keuothis in O.Wilck. 1100 and P.Lond. 766 certainly belonged to the Cynopolite nome. Similarly, in SB 12324 Keuothis is mentioned as belonging to the same nome as Toka, a village now known to have been transferred to the Cynopolite nome by 385 (see below s.v. Τοκα; as Rowlandson, Landowners and Tenants 14 n. 29, remarks, SB 12324 does not necessarily imply that Toka and Keuothis were close neighbours). The Keuothis occurring in P.Oxy. 4091 has been considered to belong to the Oxyrhynchite nome and specifically to the 1st pagus because it is mentioned in close connection with Mermertha (so P.Oxy. 4091.11 n., LXIII 4384.3–4 n., Rowlandson, Landowners and Tenants 14 n. 29). This is not a necessary conclusion, however. Mermertha was in the east of the first pagus, on the right bank of the Apollophanes canal (see below s.v. Μερμερθα and cf. Rowlandson, Landowners and Tenants 12 with the map on p. xiv), and therefore not far from the western border of the Cynopolite nome. It is perfectly possible, then, that ‘the fields of Mermertha’ in P.Oxy. 4091 adjoined the border of the Cynopolite near Keuothis. There is thus no strong evidence that this village ever belonged to the Oxyrhynchite nome. The Keuothis mentioned in P.Lond. V 1673.164 (VI) is of uncertain provenance (Hermopolite? Cf. BL V p. 59). Cf. also above, s.v. Κέγηθιϲ .

Administrative subdivision: Western toparchy (see also below under Relative location); 3rd pagus Relative location: in PSI 739 a man from Seryphis (Western toparchy; 3rd pagus) takes under lease land in Mouchinaxap, the rent for which he is required to pay in the threshing floor of Seryphis; the two villages must have been close to one another. In SB 11604, a man from Mouchinaxap takes under lease land in Korobis.

P.Rain.Cent. 43 specifies that Mouchinaxap is in the western part τῆϲ πρὸϲ ἥλιον τοπαρχίαϲ. The editor takes this phrase to designate the Eastern toparchy (later called ἀπηλιώτου) and comments: ‘Eine Erklärung dafür, daß das Dorf Muchinaxap zu verschiedenen Zeiten verschiedenen Toparchien zuzugehören scheint, könnte man darin sehen, daß das Dorf im Grenzgebiet der östlichen und westlichen Toparchien gelegen war und bei einer eventuellen Veränderung der Toparchiengrenzen zur westlichen Toparchie gekommen ist’ (3–5 n.).

Etymology/form: The formation Μοῦχιϲ Ταλη implied by P.Khalili I 1 (and now P.CtYBR inv. 1366) ‘might well be the original: villages called Μοῦχιϲ are attested in various parts of Egypt, and we know a Heracleopolite village Ταλ(α)η (modern Talā), which was very close to the Oxyrhynchite border (Koites)’ (Gonis, CE 75 (2000) 130). Perhaps *Mḫj-n-ⲧⲁⲗ, ‘the storehouse of the hill(?)’ (Vandorpe, Egyptische geografische elementen 117). Administrative subdivision: Lower toparchy Arabic/modern counterpart: Mūš Dal [P.Khalili I 1], not locatable on modern maps of Egypt. Relative location: P.Oxy. 3184(a) mentions a ‘river-guard of our boundaries’, suggesting that the village was close to the Bahr Yusuf (the Lower toparchy did not have a Nile frontage). Position in official lists of villages: between Takona and Assya [P.Oxy. 1529]; between Tychinphagon and Isieion Tryphonos(?) [P.Oxy. 1747]; between Tholthis and Tychinphagon [SB 16570] Animals: pig [SB 16570] Religion: distribution of alms (zakat) to the poor [P.Khalili I 1] Officials: komarchai [P.Oxy. 3184(a)]; overseer of the peace (epistates eirenes) [P.Oxy. 3184(a)]; field-guard (pediophylax) [P.Oxy. 3184(a)]; river-guard (potamophylax) [P.Oxy. 3184(a)] Taxes and other imposts: requisition of meat [SB 16570]; tax for the maintenance of public dikes [P.CtYBR inv. 1366 (A)]

Etymology: *Mḫj-n-Ḥr, ‘the storehouse of Horus’ (Vandorpe, Egyptische geografische elementen 117).

31 The Oxyrhynchite provenance of the document is not certain.

197

Etymology: from mḫj, ‘the storehouse, depot’ (Vandorpe, Egyptische geografische elementen 114–15, 117); cf. also the Demotic writings for Μοῦχιϲ of the Arsinoite nome in http://www.trismegistos.org/geo/detail.php?tm=1396. Administrative subdivision: 5th pagus Arabic/modern counterpart: Gomaà et al., Mittelägypten 94, propose an identification with Dimšuwiya, but on the incorrect assumption that Heracleopolite and Oxyrhynchite Mouchis were one and the same village (see Note below). Dimšuwiya is almost on the same latitude as Herakleopolis = Ihnasiya al-Madina and therefore too far north to have ever been in the Oxyrhynchite nome. Cultures/agricultural products: barley [SB 15491] Animals: pigs (it is unclear whether they belong to Mouchis) [SB 15491] Religion: priests(?) (hiereis) [P.Oxy. 784] Officials: meizon [P.Oxy. 1855]; sitologoi [P.Mich. 809] Occupations: potamitai [P.Oxy. 1674(?)]; nailsmith (helokopos) [P.Oxy. 2480]; estate pronoetes [SB 15491 (Makarios)] Noteworthy landowners: Apion estate [P.Oxy. 1855, 2018, 2480]; Agenios geouchos [SB 15491] Note: contra Pruneti, I centri 110–11 s.v., this village cannot be identified with its homonymous Heracleopolite counterpart, since the latter was in the Tekmi toparchy, which did not adjoin the Oxyrhynchite nome (see Falivene, The Herakleopolite Nome 132–3 s.v.). The recent information provided by P.Mich. XX 809.35 that Oxyrhynchite Mouchis was in the 5th pagus (i.e. in what would have been the Eastern toparchy before 307/8) now decisively establishes that the two villages were distinct. See also above under Arabic/modern counterpart.

Administrative subdivision: Middle toparchy; R. S. Bagnall, Tyche 6 (1991) 37–43, suggests that the village may have been transferred to the Cynopolite nome in the fourth century. Relative location: in P.Oxy. 1112 an acacia tree περὶ Πεεννω (Middle toparchy) is designated by the komogrammateus of Nemera for purchase, and in P.Oxy. 1549 a declaration of uninundated land around Peenno is addressed to ‘the village scribe of Nemera and other villages’; the two villages must have been close neighbours. In P.Oxy. 3049B some officials(?) in Nemera are supposed to hand over wheat ‘to the ships’ captains who shall be sent for it’, suggesting that the village was relatively close to (but not necessarily on) the Nile or the Bahr Yusuf.

In P.Leit. 1 nominees for a liturgy in Nemera are from Pamis, suggesting to the editor that the latter lay within the komogrammateia of Nemera. Pamis is thought to be a graphic variant of either Paomis (Thmoisepho toparchy; 8th pagus) or Paeimis (Western toparchy; 4th pagus); see below s.v. Πάμιϲ . The implication would be that Nemera was near the border between the Middle and Western toparchies or that between the Middle and Thmoisepho toparchies. (In the same document two other nominees are from Tholthis of the Lower toparchy, but, unlike those from Pamis, they are explicitly said to reside in Nemera.) Position in official lists of villages: between Plelo and Takolkeilis [P.Oxy. 1285]; between Pakerke + Senopotheos and Kerkeura [PSI Congr. XVII 26]; last after Tholthis [Manchester Museum inv. 10893] Categories of land: hypologos [P.Köln 141]; confiscated [P.Köln 141]; former vineland (chersos) [P.Köln 141]; royal [P.Oxy. 4891 (surmised from the tax rate; see introd.)] Cultures/agricultural products: sycamore trees [P.Col. 276]; phyta [P.Col. 276]; acacia trees [P.Oxy. 1112]; wheat [P.Oxy. 4891]; cheese [P.Stras. 173]; barley [PSI Congr.

In P.Tebt. 423 the local manager of an estate in the Arsinoite nome (probably around the village of Tebtynis) had been ordered by the landowner to go to Nemera to purchase fodder (chortos).

Thomas, P.Oxy. 4773.8 n., argues that the ktema Nesos in P.Mich. 792 cannot be identical to that of P.Oxy. 4773 because the lessor in P.Mich. 792 is Aurelia Herais, whereas the homonymous ktema of P.Oxy. 4773 belongs to Claudia Isidora alias Apia. Cf. also P.Mich. 792.8–9 n.: ‘Vineyard and orchard properties were often named “Nesos”, or “Island”–no doubt, in part, because they were situated on higher ground, so that, during the inundation of the Nile, such properties gave the appearance of being like islands, standing, as they did, above the floor fields’ (on the use of νῆϲοϲ to indicate land formed by fluvial deposits, see further Drew-Bear, Le Nome hermopolite 43, Falivene, The Herakleopolite Nome 6, Rowlandson, Landowners and Tenants 34.). At any rate, it is unclear whether the places called Νῆϲοϲ in 2) and 3) were actually hamlets or simply viticultural sites.

Etymology: νῆϲοϲ indicates that the land was formed by fluvial deposits; see Drew-Bear, Le Nome hermopolite 43, Falivene, The Herakleopolite Nome 6, Rowlandson, Landowners and Tenants 34 (with further references). Topographical features: all of the above papyri state or imply that Neson was a harbour on the Nile. Note: a village named Νήϲων is also attested in the Nepheros archive of the fourth century as a village of the Heracleopolite Nome; see Falivene, The Herakleopolite Nome 140–42 s.v. Although none of these attestations identifies the village as a harbour (its proximity to the Nile is evident, however; cf. P.Neph. p. 12), Falivene plausibly equates it with the Neson mentioned in the above-listed papyri from Oxyrhynchus.

http://www.trismegistos.org/geo/detail.php?tm=6125 P.Oxy.

P.Oxy. 2032, where Pangouleeiou and Maeiouma each have their own pronoetes].

The village ‘will be near Seryphis in the Western toparchy, later in the third pagus, now identified with Ašruba ... this speaks forcibly against Gauthier’s identification of Panguleeiu vel sim. with Qulusuna, which is too far south and east of Ašruba’ (P.Oxy. 4132.9–10 n., with reference to P.Harr. 137 and Gomaà et al., Mittelägypten 81). P.Oxy. 2243(a).68–73, in which some Apionic mechanai of Taampemou (Eastern toparchy; 5th pagus) appear to be under the responsibility of the pronoetes of Pangouleeiou, implies that these two villages were also relatively near one

236

another (cf. Mazza, L’archivio degli Apioni 92 with n. 90; for the proximity of Seryphis and Taampemou, see P.Oxy. 1421.3 with n.). Pangouleeiou, therefore, will have been in the border area between the former Eastern and Western toparchies. Such a location excludes an identification with Πάγκυλιϲ in the more southern 1st pagus.

Uncertain instance: PꜢ-jm in P.Lille Dem. 5r.15 (244 BCE?) has been tentatively identified with Paeimis; see F. de Cenival, CRIPEL 13 (1991) 43. Etymology: ‘the Egyptian name for Oxyrhynchus, Permedjet, may be echoed in the Greek name of the adjacent village Paimis’ (Rowlandson, ‘Oxyrhynchus and its hinterland’ 208). Administrative subdivision: Western toparchy; 4th pagus (see P.Oxy. 4966.11 n.) Arabic/modern counterpart: Bani wal-Lams(?) (Gomaà et al., Mittelägypten 86); but the order of villages in SB 12108 (as reconstructed by Rowlandson, Landowners and Tenants 12) suggests that Paeimis was south of Senekeleu, whereas the assumed (but not unproblematic) modern counterpart of the latter (Saqula) is south of Bani wal-Lams (cf. P.Worp 22.6 n.); see further Rowlandson, ‘Oxyrhynchus and its hinterland’ 208 n. 1. Relative location: land in the territory of Paeimis is said to be adjacent on the south to ‘the parts of the metropolis along the desert’ and on the north to ‘the circumference of the village’ ([γ]είτονεϲ νότου παρόρια τῆϲ πόλεωϲ, βορρᾶ περίμετρα τῆϲ κώμη[ϲ]) [P.Oxy. 1475.22–3 (edd. ad loc.: ‘from this is appears that Païmis … was on the edge of the desert near Oxyrhynchus on the north’)]; cf. also P.Oxy. 1629.8 n., citing a Coptic text in which is mentioned ‘a little χωρίον some 5 ϲτάδια on the east of Pemje (Oxyrhynchus), named ⲠⲀⲒⲘ in the Egyptian tongue’. Within five miles of Pela and near Lenon [P.Oxy. 4739 with Rowlandson, Landowners and Tenants 268 n. 186]. The Apionic epoikion Κtesis was nearby [SB 15364]. A man from Paeimis takes under lease land belonging to a man from Kainon Pomarion, perhaps implying some proximity between the two settlements (the location of the land is unknown) [P.CtYBR inv. 1257]. Position in official lists of villages: between Syron and Lenon [P.Oxy. 1285]; between Pela and Antipera Pela [P.Oxy. 1659]; between Z.o( ) and Senokomis [P.Oxy. 3462]; between Kerkethyris and Herakleidou [SB 16570]; between Lenon and Senekeleu [SB 12108] Categories of land: private [P.Oxy. 1633 (unsown, asporos)]; catoecic [P.Dubl. 3, PSI 109] Cultures/agricultural products: wheat [P.Dubl. 3, P.Oxy. 1475.16 (‘and other land’), 1629, 4739, SB 10263]; arakos [P.Oxy. 1629]; chlora [P.Oxy. 1646, 4739] Associated kleroi: of Dionysodoros [P.Dubl. 3]; of Nikon alias Nikomedes [P.Oxy. 1475]; of Th– and Menodoros [P.Oxy. 1633]; of –kles [P.Oxy. 1633]; of Artemidoros [PSI 109] Irrigation: gyes [P.Dubl. 3]; lakkos, waterwheel (trochos), mechane [P.Oxy. 1475]; canal (dioryx) [P.Oxy. 1475, SB 12108 (‘of Apollophanes’)]; public dike (choma) south of the

village [P.Oxy. 1469]; diazoma (meaning uncertain) [P.Oxy. 3462 (see introd.)]; mechanika organa [P.Oxy. 4966]; irrigation work [SB 12108] Topographical features: vacant lots (psiloi topoi) [P.Oxy. 1475]; two houses in the north and western parts of the village [P.Oxy. 1475]; uncultivated orchard (pomarion ἐν χέρϲῳ) with a well (phrear) [P.Oxy. 1475]; a one-story house without door (athyrotos) in the middle parts of the village surrounded with vacant lots and near a public street (demosia rhyme) [P.Oxy. 1699]; threshing floor [SB 10263] Animals: pig [SB 16570]; sheep and lambs [P.Oxy. 4822] Religion: hawk shrine (hierakion) [P.Oxy. 1475.23]; temple (hieron) [P.Oxy. 1699]. According to a Coptic text cited in P.Oxy. 1629.8 n. the body of the Persian martyr James was supposedly brought to Paeimis. Officials: komarchai [P.Fuad Univ. 15, P.Oxy. 1469]; public land-surveyor (demosios geometres) and overseer of labour on dikes (chomatepeiktes) [P.Oxy. 1469]; sitologos [SB 11265]; collector of the crown-tax (praktor stephanikon) [PSI 1547] Occupations: pragmateutes (of an estate) [P.Oxy. 1646]; shepherd [P.Oxy. 4822] Noteworthy landowners: Iulii Theones [P.Oxy. 1475]; Aurelia Thaïsous alias Lolliane, daughter of Sarapion alias Agathos Daimon, ex-agoranomos [P.Oxy. 1475]; Aurelia Herakleidiaina, matrona stolata and daughter of Herakleides, bouleutes of Alexandria [P.Oxy. 1637]; heirs of Vibius Publius, veteran, officialis on the prefect’s staff and bouleutes of Alexandria [P.Oxy. 1646]; Fl. Isidoros, vir clarissimus and senator [P.Oxy. 4966]; Aurelius –cholios son of Iulianus, ex-curator [P.Oxy. 4966] Taxes and other imposts: crown-tax [P.Oxy. 1659, PSI 1547]; requisition of meat [SB 16570] Other: in P.Oxy. 3856 Paeimis is the source of ‘the usual fuel’ (τῶν ϲυνηθῶν καυμάτων) for baths (achyron = chaff?).

Relative location: P.Oxy. 1897 seems to imply a dispute between Po(m)pano and Pakerke, suggesting proximity between the two villages. Pompano was near Satyrou of the Eastern toparchy and later in the Cynopolite nome (see below s.v. Πομπανω), which would suggest that the Apionic instances of the village refer to Pakerke of the former Eastern toparchy.

Administrative subdivision: Eastern toparchy; 5th pagus Relative location: in P.Oxy. 1137 a boethos from Sarapionos Chairemonos collects a tax payment from the ktema Akoutou, suggesting proximity between the two places. In P.Oxy. 3589 the village is said to be near Senepsau (Western toparchy), so that it must have been close to the border of the Eastern and Western toparchies.

Wagner, Les oasis d’Égypte à l’époque grecque, romaine et byzantine d’après les documents grecs (Cairo 1987) 201 n. 6). It is unclear to me whether by ‘Séla’ Yoyotte refers to Seila al-gharbiya or Seila al-sharqiya (both situated between Pela = Billa al-Mustagidda and Sadalou = Istal). For a doubtful identification with Kom Tunaida, see Gomaà et al., Mittelägypten 98. Relative location: the epoikion Annianou was in the vicinity of Senao [P.Oxy. 2228].

Note, however, that the close association of Senekeleu with Seryphis (= Ašruba) and its position in ‘the southern section’ of the Western toparchy (see below under Relative location) do not match well the identification with Saqula. Relative location: in P.Oxy. 1112 acacia trees near Senekeleu are designated by the komogrammateus of Seryphis (Western toparchy; 3rd pagus) for purchase, suggesting proximity between the two villages (these villages also occur together in P.Oxy. 3475). In P.Oxy. 3475 Senekeleu is subsumed under ‘the southern section’ (νοτίνη μερίϲ) of the Western toparchy. Perhaps near Kerkethyris (Western toparchy) [P.Oxy. 3903–4]. The

Etymology: Šnwt-n-qmꜢw, ‘The granary of reeds’ (Gomaà et al., Mittelägypten 86, 111) Administrative subdivision: Western toparchy Arabic/modern counterpart: Gomaà et al., Mittelägypten 86, propose an identification with Šulqam, but this modern village, though within the territory of the ancient Western toparchy, is too far north to explain the proximity of Senokomis to Pela = Billa al-Mustagidda (see below under Relative location). I tentatively propose instead an identification with Deir al-Sanquryia, a few kilometers downriver from Billa al-Mustagidda, where ancient remains have been found (see Gomaà et al., Mittelägypten 195). Relative location: according to P.Oxy. 740 the πεδία Ϲενοκώμεωϲ are near Pela (Western toparchy); both villages are also independently attested in connection with a kleros of Philon [PSI 1533; cf. PSI 1550]. Paroriou was a lesser neighbour [P.Oxy. 1545; see above s.v. Παρορίου].

PSI XV 1556.7 = SB XII 11050 (Ϲαρευφηα) III Administrative subdivision: Western toparchy; 3rd pagus (P.Oxy. 3795.13 assigns the village to the 6th pagus, but this is probably an error; see n. ad loc. and cf. Rowlandson, Landowners and Tenants 13 n. 28) Arabic/modern counterpart: Ašruba (Gomaà et al., Mittelägypten 84), ‘four miles east of Oxyrhynchus’ (P.Oxy. 1421.3 n.). Relative location: in P.Oxy. 970 the representative of an Antinoopolite owner of land in Seryphis is from Pela (Western toparchy). Near Senekeleu (Western toparchy; 3rd pagus) [P.Oxy. 1112, 3475 (both villages were in the southern section–νοτίνη μερίϲ–of the Western toparchy)]. The chorion Gaianou [P.Oxy. 1141] and the ktema Nesos [P.Mich. 792 with BL XII 126] were in the vicinity. In P.Oxy. 1421 the strategus issues a joint order to the officials of Taampemou (Eastern toparchy; 5th pagus) and Seryphis to embark some wood from a nearby location (Ionthis); this suggests that though ‘situated in different toparchies’, the two villages were ‘probably near each other’ (edd.’s introd.; cf. also 3 n.). Near Pangouleeiou [P.Harr. 137]. A villager from Kerkethyris (Western toparchy) takes under lease land in Seryphis [P.Oxy. 4747; cf. Rowlandson, Landowners and Tenants 12]. In PSI 739 a man from Seryphis takes under lease land in Mouchinaxap (Western toparchy; 3rd pagus), the rent for which he is required to pay in the threshing floor of Seryphis; the two villages must have been close to one another.

In P.Oxy. 4958 a man from Tanais (Middle toparchy; 7th pagus[?]) farms royal land around Sepho. Proximity to the border with the Middle toparchy is also supported by the fact that Sepho is the only village of the Thmoisepho toparchy to have gone over to the 7th pagus in the fourth century, like a number of Middle toparchy villages, whereas other Thmoisepho villages were in the 8th pagus.

PSI Congr. XVII 18(a).11 (Ψιναρυ; see n. ad loc.) IV Delendum: SB XX 14235.1 (VIII); see BL X 226 and cf. ZPE 149 (2004) 109. Pruneti, I centri 179 n. 1, identifies Ϲεναρυ in P.Mich. I 87.4 (III BCE), a document of the Zenon archive (Arsinoite nome), with Sinary of the Oxyrhynchite nome. But the recent recurrence of the toponym in yet another Arsinoite document, P.Sijp. 29.12 (II?), suggests that we are dealing hear with a synonymous locality in the Fayum; cf. also F. Uebel, Die Kleruchen Ägyptens unter den ersten sechs Ptolemäern (Berlin 1968) 84 n. 4, and Daris, Dizionario Suppl. 5 p. 88 s.v. Etymology: (PꜢ-)šj-n-Ḥr-wḏꜢ, ‘the lake of Haryothes’ (Vandorpe, Egyptische geografische elementen 151). Administrative subdivision: Lower toparchy. In 14 BCE the village was part of the Peran toparchy of the Heracleopolite nome [BGU 1061]. The situation in the earlier period is unclear. The village, being at the border of the Oxyrhynchite and Heracleopolite nomes, is often associated with villages of both nomes; see Falivene, The Herakleopolite Nome 191–3. P.Hib. 34 and 73 seem to imply that in the mid-third century BCE at least Sinary probably belonged to the Oxyrhynchite nome, since the archiphylakites of the Lower toparchy appears to have jurisdiction over this village (but cf. Falivene, The Herakleopolite Nome 193). Sinary is listed mostly with Heracleopolite villages in P.Hib. 218, a tax list assigned to the early or mid-second century CE, which perhaps should be redated to the early first century (see P.Oxy.Hels. 10.5 n., and cf. Falivene, The Herakleopolite Nome 192 n. 1). Arabic/modern counterpart: Šinara; see P.Oxy. 3638.12 n., Falivene, The Herakleopolite Nome 192, Gomaà et al., Mittelägypten 99, 232. Relative location: near Talao (Lower toparchy), to judge from P.Oxy. 514.2 φόρων τῶν ἐν Ταλαω ⟦ἐχόντων⟧ περὶ Ϲιναρυ (cf. also l. 5) and P.Köln 141.10 περὶ Ϲιναρυ καὶ Ταλαω. The mention of ‘land heavily sanded over’ (ammochostos) in P.Oxy. 3170.265 has suggested to the editor that ‘its presence in Sinary perhaps indicates that the latter was located near the desert’ (n. ad loc.); cf. also P.Oxy. 3333 introd. Land in the territory of Sinary is located east of the Bahr Yusuf [P.Oxy. 3638.12 with n.]. It is probable that the village’s territory extended both east and west (toward the desert) of the canal, but it remains unclear whether the village itself lay on the eastern bank (like its modern counterpart Šinara) or the western bank. A person from Isieion Tryphonos (Lower toparchy; 9th pagus) sells land belonging to him in Sinary [PSI 897]; for another association of the two villages, cf. P.Oxy. 3462. Near Tychinpsalbo (Lower toparchy) [P.Wash.Univ. 78.ii.10]. Position in official lists of villages: between Psobthis and Kosmou [P.Oxy. 1285]; between Isieion Tryphonos and Souis(?) [P.Oxy. 1659]; between an uncertain village and Isieion Tryphonos [P.Oxy. 3462]; between Sesphtha and Dositheou [SB 16570]

In P.Oxy. 3091 a geouchon in Sinary undertakes to deliver barley to Alexandria for the troops of Caracalla in Syria. PSI 71 mentions a violent fight in this village. BGU 1061 relates a violent assault by persons from Sinary against a pastophoros of a temple in Bousiris (probably the Heracleopolite village in the north of the nome; see Falivene, The Herakleopolite Nome 193). Note: on Coptic and Arabic literary evidence for this village, see Timm, Das christlich-koptische Ägypten V 2351–3; cf. also Stephanus of Byzantium s.v.

J. Yoyotte apud G. Husson, CRIPEL 8 (1986) 77). Arabic/modern counterpart: Sandafā al-Far, on the east bank of the Bahr Yusuf and opposite Oxyrhynchus (G. Husson, CRIPEL 8 (1986) 77). Religion: theagos and theagisse of a temple of Thoeris [P.Mert. 26] Note: although it occurs among villages in the account PSI Congr. XVII 18(a), Sintabo is perhaps the name of a temple of Thoeris rather than a settlement proper. Three papyri also attest a temple of Thoeris called Ϲιντανω (see the references in Husson, loc. cit.; the nu is secure according to her). Yoyotte (apud Husson, loc. cit.) believes that ‘Ϲιντανω et Ϲινταβω sont sans doute les appellations de deux Thoèrion différents’.

XLI 2967.11 (154); see BL VIII 263 and ZPE 170 (2009) 189. Etymology: perhaps the name derives from the Egyptian name of nearby Kynopolis (SꜢ-kꜢ); cf. Rowlandson, ‘Oxyrhynchus and its hinterland’ 207–8: ‘Although the two places were administratively distinct …, it is possible that, with the hellenization of the nome metropolis [i.e. Kynopolis] and its name, the old Egyptian name persisted in a nearby village name’. Administrative subdivision: Upper toparchy Relative location: near Episemou (Upper toparchy; 3rd pagus) [PSI 1408 with BL VIII 411]; in P.Oxy. 1031 a farmer from Episemou cultivates public land in Sko; similarly, in P.Oxy. 2137 a lessee of land in Sko is from Episemou; in SB 5806 (BL XII 183) the lessors of land around Sko are from Episemou. In P.Oxy. 2125 grain from the granaries of Sko is embarked at the Nile harbour of Satyrou (Eastern toparchy). Near Monimou (Upper toparchy; 3rd pagus[?]) [P.Oxy.Hels. 41]. These indications suggest that Sko lay in the north-eastern corner of the Upper toparchy ‘and thus must have been very close to Cynopolis’ (Rowlandson, Landowners and Tenants 11, ‘Oxyrhynchus and its hinterland’ 207). Position in official lists of villages: between Mermertha and Monimou [P.Oxy. 1659]; between Mermertha and Enteiis [SB 12156] Categories of land: catoecic and ‘bought’ (eonemene) [P.Oxy. 346]; public [P.Oxy. 1031]; hypologos [P.Oxy. 2278]; royal [P.Oxy. 979, 4595, P.Ryl. 683]; private [P.Oxy.Hels. 22 (deduced from the tax rate)]; (confiscated?) land managed by the idios logos [BGU 1091]

In SB 16796 a member of the officium of the praeses Arcadiae is said to originate from Spania and live in Oxyrhynchus. PSI 77.27 mentions a sum of gold solidi (4 solidi less 16 carats) ζυγῷ Ϲπανίαϲ. The two inscriptions SEG XLI 1634–5 (II BCE) were found in Safaniyya but do not preserve the name of the village at the time; the first is a dedication for Ptolemy VIII, Cleopatra II and Cleopatra III by members of a military unit; the second lists military men belonging to a religious association (synodos).

The second element is probably PꜢ-mw, ‘the water’. Administrative subdivision: Eastern toparchy; 5th pagus Arabic/modern counterpart: Tanbu (Gomaà et al., Mittelägypten 84) Relative location: in P.Oxy. 1421 the strategus issues a joint order to the officials of Taampemou and Seryphis (Western toparchy; 3rd pagus) to embark some wood from a nearby location (Ionthis); this suggests that though ‘situated in different toparchies’, the two villages were ‘probably near each other’ (edd.’s introd.; cf. also 3 n.). In P.Oxy. 2974 a man from Taampemou takes under lease land around Satyrou (Eastern toparchy), possibly implying relative proximity between the two villages. Fishermen in P.Oxy. 3423 suggest proximity to a waterway; cf. also P.Oxy. 1421 and 4003 (a fishing boat is to transport stones from Taampemou). In P.Egy.Mus. S.R. 3049 (227) Taampemou is listed in proximity to Kynopolis (line 1). In an Apionic prostasia comprising Senokomis (Western toparchy), Herakleion (Middle toparchy), Pesta and Notines Paroriou [P.Oxy. 2243(a)]. Pangouleeiou [P.Oxy. 2243(a).68–73] and Palidou [P.Oxy. 2243(a).52, 53] were probably in the vicinity.

Relative location: in P.Oxy. 3130 the archephodos of Taampitei is ordered to summon three individuals from Sepho (Thmoisepho toparchy; 7th pagus), an indication perhaps that his authority extended over both villages (cf. editors’ introd.).

Administrative subdivision: Lower toparchy Arabic/modern counterpart: ‘It may have been located at Kôm-el-Ahmar, west of the Bahr Yusuf near Muzûra and at the edge of the desert’ (P.Oxy. 4087.2 n.; see Gomaà et al., Mittelägypten 100). Relative location:

• Takona shares a komogrammateus with Tychinphagon (Lower toparchy) [P.Köln 489], which presupposes that they were relatively proximate.

• Hunt in P.Oxy. 1064.10 n. takes the letter’s context to imply that Takona ‘must have been in the vicinity of Psobthis [Lower toparchy; 9th pagus]’ (mentioned in line 5); cf. also P.Oxy. 1652, containing two short accounts relating to these two villages.

• The payment to sailors in P.Oxy. 1652 may imply that Takona was close to a waterway (probably the Bahr Yusuf); this is further reinforced by P.Oxy. 1830, which concerns the measurements of the river’s rise by agents of the Apion estate in Takona, and P.Oxy. 2021.8, recording a payment τῷ ὀϲπριγίτ(ῃ) εἰϲ τὸ πλοῖον (cf. also P.Oxy. 3052.11 n.). Cf. also above under Arabic/modern counterpart.

• P.Oxy. 1831, in which the meizon of Tholthis (Lower toparchy; 10th pagus) writes to his counterpart in Takona concerning their shepherds’ dispute, implies proximity between the two villages (cf. also P.Oxy. 2207, P.Wash.Univ. 77).

• Perhaps near Souis (Lower toparchy; 8th pagus); cf. P.Oxy. XVII 2141.3–4 n. • Near the western desert (P.Oxy. 3333 introd., 4087.2 n.). Cf. also above under

Arabic/modern counterpart. • The Itin. Anton., 157.1, records as 24 Roman miles the distance between Takona

and Oxyhrynchus (cf. P.Oxy. LX p. 194).

Administrative subdivision: Lower toparchy Arabic/modern counterpart: Tala according to Gomaà et al., Mittelägypten 90; but cf. Mazza, L’archivio degli Apioni 99 n. 138, who suggests that Tala could also correspond to the Heracleopolite village of Talae/Tale. Mazza is probably correct, for an identification of Talao with Tala would not suit the close associations between Talao and Sinary = Šinara (see below under Relative location). Relative location: in the ‘eastern part’ (ἀπηλιώτου μερίϲ) of the Lower toparchy [P.Köln 137.22–3]. Near Sinary (Lower toparchy) [P.Köln 141.10 (περὶ Ϲιναρυ καὶ Ταλαω), P.Oxy. 514.2 (φόρων τῶν ἐν Ταλαω ⟦ἐχόντων⟧ περὶ Ϲιναρυ; cf. also l. 5)].

In ZPE 171 (2009) 181–5 I argue that, as a result of my equation of this village with modern Dahrut, some other instances previously thought to refer to Oxyrhynchite Terythis probably relate to Cynopolite Terythis. These are: P.Tebt. III.2 876.48, 91, 93 (late II BCE), SB XIV 11272.5 (211), P.Neph. 27.2 (336/7?), P.Oxy. XVI 2019.4, 15 (VI), P.Oxy. VI 998 descr. (late VI), XVI 1937.2 (VI/VII), 2031.6 (VI/VII).

Etymology: uncertain; cf. Drew-Bear, Le nome Hermopolite 289–90. Administrative subdivision: Eastern toparchy; 4th pagus Arabic/modern counterpart: Oxyrhynchite Terythis has been traditionally equated with modern Dahrut (cf. Gomaà et al., Mittelägypten 87), but Rowlandson, Landowners and Tenants 13, has pointed out that the close connections of Terythis with Adaiou and the Upper toparchy (see under Relative location) and its position in the 4th rather than the 5th pagus (like most known Eastern toparchy villages) ‘makes the identification of Terythis with Dahrut very unlikely, despite the undoubted similarity of names’. Dahrut is, in effect, to the north of other identifiable Eastern toparchy villages and close to Taampeti of the Middle toparchy/7th pagus (modern Tambidi). I argue in ZPE 171 (2009) 181–5 that Dahrut can be plausibly identified with Cynopolite Terythis. Relative location: P.Oxy. 2235 concerns a dispute over whether a piece of land belongs to the taxable territory of Adaiou (Eastern toparchy; 4th pagus) or Terythis, suggesting that the two villages were close neighbours. Probably close to a waterway [cf. the mention of fishing in SB 13150]. Coupled with Episemou (Upper toparchy; 3rd pagus) in SB 12523.

Note: though O.Fay. 27–8 are of Arsinoite provenance, I follow Pruneti in identifying Teis in these ostraca with the Oxyrhynchite village, since donkeys from villages of the Oxyrhynchite nome were frequently requisitioned to the Arsinoite nome for the state transport of grain. A village Teis in the Arsinoite nome is only attested by a couple of documents of the Islamic period (see P.Horak 64.5 n.; the reading of SB I 5338.4 [‘IV–VII’], cited by Calderini-Daris, Dizionario IV 408, is very uncertain).

The suggestion to restore ἀπὸ Τού or Το(οῦ) in P.Wash.Univ.

Relative location: Tychinphagon shares a komogrammateus with Takona (Lower toparchy) [P.Köln 489], which presupposes that they were relatively close. Near the western desert (P.Oxy. 3333 introd.). People from Tychinphagon attack some inhabitants of Ptolema– [P.Oxy. 2233].

Litinas, APF 40 (1994) 163–4, counts it as a Cynopolite settlement, mainly on the basis of P.Bad. IV 73, but U. and D. Hagedorn, P.Sijp. 60.6 n., have recently cast doubt on the grounds for this ascription.

Arabic/modern counterpart: Šuša (Gomaà et al., Mittelägypten 97) Relative location: at the extreme south of the Oxyrhynchite nome, on the border with the Hermopolite nome. Land in its vicinity (but not the village itself) was sometimes subsumed under the Pasko toparchy of the Hermopolite nome (cf. C.Pap.Gr. II App. 1, P.Oxy. 1724, 2673). At some point in the fourth century the village itself appears to have switched to the Hermopolite nome (P.Lips. 99), but it probably reverted to the territory of Oxyrhynchus by the sixth century (cf. P.Oxy. 2032). In the eighth century Chysis was part of the Theodosiopolite nome (P.Bal. 355; see N. Gonis, ZPE 142 (2003) 176–9). On these boundary changes, see most recently Mitthof, APF 49 (2003) 214–15 (with further bibliography). Inhabitants of Chysis take under lease land near Sinkepha, in the ktema Dioskoureion (these were in the 2nd pagus) [P.Oxy. 2241]. Sinkepha was apparently under the komogrammateia of Chysis [P.Oxy. 3906]; the two villages are also mentioned together in P.Berl.Leihg. 20. Chysis shares sitologoi with Athychis (Upper toparchy) in P.Oxy. 2958, suggesting proximity between the two villages. In the same Apionic prostasia as Berky [P.Oxy. 2032]. The ktema Abok/Pabok was in the vicinity [PSI 1249–50]. By the Bahr Yusuf (see Drew-Bear, Le nome Hermopolite 326–7, and cf. P.Meyer 19). Position in official lists of villages: between Kerkemounis and Enteiis [P.Oxy. 1285]; between Nesmimis and Sinkepha [P.Oxy. 1659.12], first before Sinkepha [P.Oxy. 1659.25]; between Sinkepha and Toubis(?) [P.Hib. 248]; between Ibion Chyseos and Berky [P.Vindob.

MAPS On the following satellite images from Google Earth I have pinpointed the modern sites identifiable with ancient Oxyrhynchite settlements (see Index V) together with some identifiable sites from the neighbouring nomes; for the latter I relied on Drew-Bear, Le nome Hermopolite, Falivene, The Herakleopolite Nome, and Litinas, ‘Villages and place-names of the Cynopolite nome’. I identified these sites on the satellite image with the help of the detailed 1:100,000 scale maps of the Survey of Egypt (Cairo 1932). L = Lower toparchy; T = Thmoisepho toparchy; M = Middle toparchy; E = Eastern toparchy; W = Western toparchy; U = Upper toparchy. Map 1: Lower toparchy (north)
