There were in Egypt a number of colonies of military settlers. They are distinguished by certain privileges, and, in legal terminology, by the term τῆς ἐπιγονῆς, placed after the words of nationality. Just as there are Πέρσαι τῆς ἐπιγονῆς, so there are Ἰουδαῖοι τῆς ἐπιγονῆς. In the Hibeh Papyri, i. 96, of 259 B.C.E., we read an agreement between the Jew Alexander, son of Andronicus, decurion in the troop of Zoilus, and Andronicus, a Jew τῆς ἐπιγονῆς The groom Daniel (?) in a papyrus of the second century B.C.E. (Grenfell, An Alexandrian Erotic Fragment and Other Papyri, no. 43.) and the farm laborer Teuphilus (Grenfell-Hunt, Fayûm Towns and their Papyri, no. 123) are also humble men, and probably in the same stage of cultivation as other men of their calling. Footnote 96: Elephantine Pap. (ed. Sachau), no. 6. Footnote 97: Osiris appears as a theophoric element, not only in Egyptian names and in those of Grecized Egyptians, but also in purely Phoenician names, and joined to Semitic elements. So Osirshamar, from Malta, and Osiribdil, from Larnaca (Notice des Mon. Phén du Louvre, nos. 133, 162). Footnote 98: Reinach, Textes, pp. 20 seq. Müller, Frag. ii. 511-616. Footnote 99: Tac. Hist.

Footnote 102: However completely oligarchical in practice the government became, the sovereignty of the dēmos was recognized in theory. In the ancient doom ascribed to Lycurgus (Plutarch, Lyc. 6), which may be said to form the constitution of Sparta, occur the words δάμῳ δὲ κὰν κυρίαν ἦμεν καὶ κράτος. Footnote 103: Fränkel, Inschriften, v. Perg. no. 5, 18 _et passim_. Footnote 104: Mitteis und Wilcken, Grundzüge und Chrestomathie der Papyruskunde, I. v. i, pp. 14 seq. Footnote 105: Mitteis-Wilcken, _op. cit._ p. 15. Footnote 106: Xenophon, De Reditibus, ii. 4-7. Footnote 107: Josephus often refers to the Jews of Alexandria as oἱ ἐν Ἀλεξανδρείᾳ Ἰουδαῖοι (Ant. XIII. iii. 4) or oἱ ἐν Ἀλεξανδρείᾳ κατοικούντες Ἰουδαῖοι (Ant. XIV. vii. 2), but he refers similarly to the Greeks there (Ant. XVIII. viii. i), and plainly understands κατοικεῖν simply as “inhabit.” The question is fully discussed in Contra Ap. ii. 5, where the general statement is made that Jews might and did become Alexandrian citizens, but that Egyptians were at first excluded.

VII., n. 2. A Jewish house-slave is manumitted in Oxyrhyncus Pap. ix. 1205. Footnote 109:
