Dime in the Fayyum - a temple between tradition and multiculturality in Hellenistic and Roman Egypt

该项目旨在更好地了解迪米神庙的邪教、神学、历史和年表。这是通过两个综合体来实现的：（1）通过考虑已经出版的来源，编辑文献文本及其历史分析;（2）在一角寺的每日Rounge的editio princeps及其与埃及宗教历史和更广泛的埃及框架的背景化。该项目的主题相互依存的综合体将提供与索克诺帕约斯保护区建筑特征的解释和测年相关的重要信息。通过这一立场的埃及寺庙作为精神和经济中心，以及埃及身份的条件，在外国统治期间，将从不同的方向进行研究。因此，该项目通过编辑几乎未出版的文本资料进行基础研究，这些资料将用于考古学、古代史和希腊纸莎草学。由于大量的材料与有限的人员预算相反，集中于特别突出的资料是必要的。这也意味着，必须对文本进行初步和粗略的分析。一方面，新出土的介形层，然后是一组特定的纸莎草纸（信件，合同，所谓的sh'at-contracts和收据），主要是迄今为止尚未出版的纸莎草纸，来自牛津格里菲斯研究所，已经知道了40年，但其中只有一小部分已经提供给学术界。现在在牛津的格里菲思纸莎草纸来自迪姆，可以追溯到托勒密时期。通过它们，可以了解到希腊化时期那些村庄及其神庙鲜为人知的发展，在此基础上，可以更好地了解该遗址在罗马时期的历史。这些文本生动地描绘了迪梅祭司的日常生活，索克诺帕约斯祭司的职责和问题，他们如何与托勒密国家的机构，与其他地区的同事或职业不再确定的人保持联系。另一方面，重点将完全放在每日新闻上。它目前的形式既很难解读，也对我们对埃及神庙礼仪议程的看法至关重要。Soknopaios的日常仪式不仅对大众研究非常感兴趣，而且对一般的宗教学也非常感兴趣，因为这里我们有这种仪式的最后手稿，古代埃及仪式文本语料库的编辑，组成和传统问题得到了阐明，通过这个Dime与其他概念化中心的联系得到了强调，最后，因为咒语语料库被扩大了。

The project aims at a better understanding of cult, theology, history and chronology of the temple at Dimê. This is achieved in two complexes: (1) the edition of documentary texts and their historical analysis by considering the already published sources; (2) the editio princeps of the Daily Ritual in the Dime-temple and its contextualization with regards to the history of Egyptian religion and to a broader Egyptian framework. The thematically interdependent complexes of the project will provide significant information which will be relevant to the interpretation and dating of the architectural features of the Soknopaios-sanctuary. By this the position of an Egyptian temple as spiritual and economic centre as well as the conditions of Egyptian identity during periods of foreign rule will be studied from different directions. Thus the project conducts basic research by editing almost unpublished textual sources, which will be made available for Egyptology, Ancient History, and Greek Papyrology.Because of the overwhelming wealth of material in opposition to the limited budget for personnel a concentration on particularly salient sources has turned out to be necessary. This also implies that the texts must be presented with just a preliminary and sketchy analysis. On the one hand, the newly excavated ostraca and then a specific group of papyri (letters, contracts, so-called sh'at-contracts and receipts) of the chiefly up to now still unpublished papyri from the Griffith Institute, Oxford, which have been known for 40 years, but of which just the minor part has been made available to the scholarly community. The Griffith-papyri, nowadays in Oxford, come from Dime and date to the Ptolemaic period. Through them insights into the lesser known development of the villages and its temple during Hellenism shall be gained, and on this basis the site's history during the Roman period might be better understood. The texts paint a vivid picture of the priestly everyday-life in Dime, the duties and problems of the Soknopaios-priests, how they corresponded with the institutions of the Ptolemaic state, with their colleagues in other regions or persons whose profession is not identifiable anymore. On the other hand, the focus will exclusively lie on the Daily Ritual. In its present form it is both highly difficult to decipher and most crucial for our view on the liturgical agenda in Egyptian temples in general. The daily ritual for Soknopaios is of utmost interest not just to demotic studies, but also to Egyptology in general, because here we have the last manuscripts for this kind of ceremonies, questions of redaction, composition and traditions of the corpus of ancient Egyptian ritual texts are illuminated, by this Dime's connection to other centres of the conceptualization is highlighted and, finally, because the corpus of spells is enlarged.
