Cair. Mich. III)","description":"\u003cp\u003eThis 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. \u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003eAs 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. \u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003eSince 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. \u003c\/p\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eAuthor:\u003c\/b\u003e Mohamed Gaber El-Maghrabi\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-10:\u003c\/b\u003e 3110714280\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-13:\u003c\/b\u003e 9783110714289\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublisher:\u003c\/b\u003e de Gruyter\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eLanguage:\u003c\/b\u003e English\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublished:\u003c\/b\u003e 07\/05\/2021\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePages:\u003c\/b\u003e 232\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eFormat:\u003c\/b\u003e Hardcover\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eWeight:\u003c\/b\u003e 1.26lbs\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eSize:\u003c\/b\u003e 9.61h x 6.69w x 0.56d","brand":"Mohamed Gaber El-Maghrabi","offers":[{"title":"Hardcover","offer_id":47419610202367,"sku":"9783110714289","price":144.99,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0662\/2982\/9887\/files\/img_f9fab19d-fea5-40ed-bb84-544966752203.jpg?v=1761512684","url":"https:\/\/www.whiterainbookhouse.com\/products\/more-texts-from-the-archive-mohamed-gaber-el-maghrabi-9783110714289","provider":"WR Book House","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
