Previous research has blamed the Romans for the decline of the Egyptian temples. The current view, however, is that Rome played a stimulating role on the Egyptian economy. Against this background the temple in Dimê is particularly suitable to explore the economic situation of an Egyptian temple under the Roman administration of a province and to test the new perception. On the one hand the documentation in Greek and Egyptian is extremely abundant in general, on the other hand the sources elucidating the business life of the temple in particular, among them at first rank the accounts have survived in great numbers. The temple's accountancy produced these lists in demotic script of which just the better preserved scrolls of more than 1 m length sum up to 800 pieces of which some 40 pieces will be edited. Their analysis will force us to revise our picture (1) of the internal economic structure of a regional Egyptian temple, (2) of the integration of the 'temple' as an administrative and economic centre into the Roman administrative and fiscal strategy in Egypt, (3) of the clergy as a community and its social status, and (4) of the religious practice in Dimê and the neighbouring sanctuaries. The considerable number of sources in Egyptian Demotic in a period when Greek finally replaced Demotic as administrative language is another particularity that raises again the issue of bilingualism in Roman Egypt. The project's objective is to make available the unpublished corpus of accounts from the temple in Dimê on an on-line platform for editing texts to scholars of Ancient History and Egyptologists and to put our knowledge and picture of an Egyptian temple's life on a new basis. This will allow us new insights into the Roman regulatory actions facing these indigenous institutions that were highly influential up to the Ptolemaic period. The study of the account scrolls of the temple in Dimê and by this of the financial system, the administration and the priestly economic competences in comparison to the competences and privileges that the Roman central administration granted, will yield new findings concerning the influence of Egypt's integration into the Roman Empire on a traditional Egyptian institution. This research, which is founded on an abundant and largely unpublished corpus, is devoted to a new approach to ancient economy and the ancient financial system.

先前的研究将埃及神庙的衰落归咎于罗马人。然而，目前的观点是，罗马对埃及经济发挥了刺激作用。在这种背景下，迪米神庙特别适合探索罗马统治下埃及神庙的经济状况，并测试新的看法。一方面在希腊和埃及的文件是非常丰富的一般，另一方面的来源，阐明了商业生活的寺庙，特别是其中的第一排名的帐户已经存活了大量。寺庙的会计用通俗的文字制作了这些名单，其中仅保存较好的超过1米长的卷轴就有800件，其中约40件将被编辑。他们的分析将迫使我们修改我们的图片（1）内部经济结构的一个区域埃及寺庙，（2）整合的“寺庙”作为一个行政和经济中心到罗马行政和财政战略在埃及，（3）神职人员作为一个社区及其社会地位，（4）宗教实践在迪米和邻近的避难所。在希腊语最终取代世俗语成为行政语言的时期，埃及世俗语中有相当数量的来源，这是再次提出罗马埃及双语问题的另一个特殊性。该项目的目标是在一个在线平台上向古代历史学者和考古学家提供来自迪米神庙的未出版的记录语料库，以编辑文本，并将我们对埃及神庙生活的了解和描述置于一个新的基础上。这将使我们对这些本土机构所面临的罗马监管行动有新的见解，这些机构在托勒密时期之前具有高度影响力。研究迪米神庙的账目卷轴，并由此研究金融体系、行政管理和祭司的经济能力，与罗马中央政府授予的能力和特权进行比较，将产生关于埃及融入罗马帝国对传统埃及制度的影响的新发现。本研究以大量未发表的语料为基础，致力于对古代经济和古代金融制度进行新的研究。
