The book (re)publishes and newly interprets five accounts from the second century BCE Menches Papers. The book offers an imaginative historical reading of the accounts, detailing how in Ptolemaic Egypt various government officials on tour through the country side were received in one specific village (Kerkeosiris) by the local official (village scribe). The accounts also give insight into part of the financial management of the office of village scribe.

Recenzii

"[This] is a thoroughly enjoyable [papyrological monograph] that I found very refreshing, indeed pioneering. The publication and study of lists and accounts is not always so rewarding, but in V.’s hands the life of the village of Kerkeosiris at the end of the 2nd century BC comes to life. It is well known in Papyrology that accounts (in Greek, Demotic, Coptic and Arabic) are sitting unloved, and certainly unpublished, in every major papyrus collection in the world. There is no doubt more drama to uncover in them, and we can thank V. for showing us how to proceed. J.G. Manning in Ancient West & East vol. 11, 2012
