The practice of dispatching monthly reports sent by tax collectors to the strategos of the nome in the early Roman period is relatively well documented. While the following stage in the information collection process, that of forwarding of the information by the strategos to the provincial administration in Alexandria, has already been recorded, in particular in the context late third century Panopolis (P. Panop. Beatty 1 and 2, dated to 298 and 300 CE respectively), earlier evidence is relatively sparse. The addition of P. Bagnall 70 (232 CE, Arsinoites), sheds new light on the procedure and proves its deployment in the early third AD century.

The gens (clan) was one of the key social institutions in archaic Rome. It has given rise to much controversy in modern scholarship. The history of the Roman clan is one of those areas in which the volume of scholarly literature is out of all proportion compared to the limited evidence. The obscurity of the institution has not prevented imaginative reconstructions. A critical analysis of the sources runs counter to the well-entrenched theory that the gens originated as a prepolitical organisation, which collapsed after the rise of the state. Contrary to the views of numerous scholars that there was once a time when only patricians has clans, there is no evidence for this proposition: the clan system extended to all classes of Roman society. In the past, many descriptions of early Roman agriculture focused on the gentilicial ownership of land. The concept of gentilicial land has, however, fallen out of favour over time, rightly as it seems.
