Lending in Ptolemaic Egypt
:
This volume examines lending practices in Egypt during the Ptolemaic Period (332-30 BCE), especially but not exclusively through the lens of the Demotic loan-account papyri of Panas, son of Espmetis. This first chapter introduces some of the issues associated with the history of ancient lending, and surveys previous discussions of lending practices in Ptolemaic Egypt. It then introduces the Demotic loan-account papyri of Panas, and how they alter the current understanding of lending in Ptolemaic Egypt. It concludes with a review of previous work on the papyri. Subsequent chapters of the volume further explore the contents of the papyri, place them in their social, legal, and historical contexts, and conclude with an edition and translation of the papyri.
