| Summary: | This article presents an edition of an unpublished Ptolemaic papyrus presently housed in the Matsushita Museum of Art in Kirishima, Japan. The papyrus comes from a village in the meris of Themistos in the Arsinoite nome (Egypt) and dates to the late third century bce. The most noteworthy aspect of this fragmentary papyrus, which preserves a petition, is that the individual who submitted it bears the compound ethnic identifier ‘Judeo-Egyptian’ (Ἰουδαιοαιγύπτιος), which is hitherto unattested. |
