Across the eastern Mediterranean only a limited number of inscriptions, coins and papyri attest the term ἐπιν(ε)ίκια bestowed on local festivities. My paper studies for the first time the genesis and evolution of a particular title that could be presented as a sign of loyalty and friendship towards Roman rule. Through an analysis of mostly direct evidence, I aim to provide the perspective of certain local communities which, while subjected to Rome, remarkably strove to celebrate its victories. This bottom-up approach also seeks to show the importance of reciprocity in the constant diplomatic exchange between emperors, administrators and eastern provincials.

This article presents the edition of a hitherto unpublished declaration of surety in Greek from 6th century Middle Egypt kept in the Papyrus Collection of the Austrian National Library. In this fragmentary document surety is provided for a gardener (?) called Neilammon son of Timotheos. Of particular interest in the papyrus is an attestation of a notary called Elias unknown to date, who also appears in two other Vienna papyri published in this volume for the first time. Keywords Greek deed of surety, late antiquity, Herakleopolis (?), notary Elias

The paper offers an editio princeps for an unpublished Latin documentary papyrus, ChLA XLIV 1300 recto (= P.Vindob. inv. L 74 recto). The typology of the document is uncertain, and three hypotheses on its nature – a contract of deposit, dotal settlments, legatees in a Roman testament – are proposed.

P. Giss. I 21 e una lettera di Eudaimonis al figlio Apollonios, il noto strategos dell’Apollonopolites Heptakomias. Tra gli altri argomenti, essa tratta di due indumenti, un Lakonion e un Attalianon, la cui natura e lasciata irrisolta nelle varie edizioni e traduzioni del papiro. Autori latini, e anche greci, permettono pero di intendere il primo come un indumento colorato con porpora della Laconia, il secondo come un indumento intessuto o ricamato con fili d’oro. La menzione di tali indumenti in un documento dell’archivio di Apollonios non e una difficolta, poiche gia altre lettere dell’archivio testimoniano il suo gusto per tessuti di lusso. P. Giss. I 21 is a letter from Eudaimonis to her son Apollonios, the well-known strategos of the Apollonopolite-Heptacomia nome. Among other topics, the letter deals with two garments, a Lakonion and an Attalianon, whose nature was left unresolved in the various editions and translations of the text. However, Latin authors allow us to understand the first one as a garment dyed with purple of Laconia (according to Pliny the best available in Europe), and the second as a garment woven or embroidered with gold threads. The mention of such garments in a document of the Apollonios archive is not a difficulty, as other letters of this archive already testify to his fondness for luxury fabrics. KeywordsP. Giss.

P .新兵。这21封信是Eudaimonis写给他的儿子阿波罗尼奥斯(Apollonios)的一封信。阿波罗尼奥斯是著名的阿波罗政治战略家赫普塔科米亚斯(Heptakomias)。它还包括两件衣服,一件拉科尼翁和一件阿特利亚农,这两件衣服的性质在各种版本和翻译中都没有得到解决。然而,拉丁人,甚至希腊人,认为前者是一种涂有拉科尼亚紫色的衣服,而后者则是一种用金线编织或刺绣的衣服。在阿波罗尼奥斯的档案中提到这些衣服并不困难,档案中的其他信件也证明了他对高端布料的品味。P .新兵。21是Eudaimonis写给她儿子阿波罗尼奥斯的一封信,这是阿波罗诺利-赫普塔科米亚的著名策略。在其他主题中,一份有两套衣服的信件,一份拉科尼翁和一份阿特利亚农,在文本的不同版本和翻译中,自然没有受到阻碍。拉丁作家让我们明白,第一件衣服是用拉科尼亚的紫色装饰的,第二件衣服是用金线装饰的。阿波罗尼亚档案馆的文件中所载的这种保证并不难,就像这个档案馆对其豪华制造基础的其他信件一样。KeywordsP。新兵。21个;阿波罗尼亚档案;织物;紫拉科尼亚;Attalicae vestes P.

The article offers the first edition of a Greek papyrus belonging to the Austrian National Library, which preserves the biggest part of a sale on delivery for reeds. This document offers valuable information concerning not only reeds as products involved in such a transaction, but also the production and use of reeds in general. Therefore, it supplements our knowledge provided by the few already published sales on delivery which come from the Hermopolite nome which also date to the early seventh century.

This article examines Hinard’s claim that percussores was an official technical term for the bounty hunters of the Sullan proscriptions. It is an important definition because it is a core premise in his argument that the publication of the first proscription lists was not preceded by an uncontrolled wave of violence in the city of Rome. This article rejects Hinard’s denial of the well-attested wave of violence and argues that percussores is a generic term for ‘killers’ or ‘men of violence’.
