The form and the function of the prosangelma in the Ptolemaic period has been thoroughly examined in the classic M. Hombert and C. Préaux, "Recherches sur le prosaggelma à l'époque ptolémaïque", C.d'É., 17 (1942). In the ensuing years, new texts were published to contribute to the already available material e.g. Aly (1958), Mosallamy (1971), Parca (1984) and a further discussion appears in Parca (1985). Texts published later include P. Köln V 216, SB XVIII 13160, P. Köln VI 272, SB XVI 12813 and 12823, P. Erasm. I 4, Gonis (1992), and most recently SB XXII 15803 and P. Phrur. Diosk 1. The papyrus I am going to discuss belongs to the collection of the University of Giessen. It is a fragment of a report of a burglary committed by unknown individuals in a house of undefined localization, but as the purchase history suggests it might come from Medinet el-Fayum. The report is submitted in the said form of a prosangelma, which implies a certain handling process and addresses particular officials (most commonly a phylakites or a komogrammateus). Moreover, the form of a prosangelma is gradually expanded in the Ptolemaic period, beginning with a short report in the 3rd century B.C. and increasing its length by adding more details to the main body in the 2nd century B.C. Therefore, aside from the palaeographical factor the text can be dated on the basis of the phraseology used (if of course there are no other indicators) and, particularly, by analyzing the appearance of some reoccurring technical expressions: διὸ ἐπιδίδωμι in this case, as well as other linguistic aspects. This is what this paper will attempt to examine.

This paper offers new annotated readings and corrections to the original edition of P. Berlin inv. 16876 = SB V 8754 (from the archive of Har chebis, the royal scribe of the Herakleopolite nome), also discussing subsequent corrections proposed by various scholars in the past. Special attention is placed on the hapax legomenon technical term antapostoloi. The connection of these documents with the term apostoloi is investigated as well as their function within the framework of the shipping procedure and the officials involved in their issuance. Finally, appended is a transcription that reflects the current state of the papyrus, together with a translation into English.

In August 309 the Jews of Oxyrhynchos addressed the strategos of the Oxyrhynchite nome. If the interpretation is correct, the people who filed the document on behalf of the Jews appear to represent a koinon, which is a term also used for professional associations but here seemingly applied to the town’s Jewish community as a whole. A scholarly consensus has yet to be reached on whether the Jewish communities could be classified as collegia according to Roman law but various pieces of evidence adduced here indicate that this was possible. Another issue that is addressed here is the nature of the document and why it was addressed particularly to the strategos of the nome, who is known to have changed duties after Diocletian’s administrative reforms. Finally, this papyrus furnishes another important piece of information, as it records a further year-in-office of Dioskourides alias Ioulianos, a member of a prominent family of councillors and officials, whose origins can be traced back to Alexandria and who are known to us through (at least) three successive well-documented generations. The history of the family’s career (as evidenced by the hitherto published material) is offered in a nutshell in the form of an appendix.
