This research proposal in the field of papyrology focuses on the social and administrative history of Roman Egypt. Documents on papyrus are the most important source for investigating the ancient history of Roman empire and Egypt, as they return the testimony of a given social, political and cultural environment without filter. The study of Roman empire is vital to understand our society. Using the papyri of the Roman period as a source, papyrologists and historians have always studied the population and the administrative structure of the villages of the Fayum. However, when focusing on the Arsinoites nomos, a province of ancient Egypt which had a peculiar administrative status during the Roman period, the village of Theadelphia looks also vital and well attested; nonetheless, fewer studies have been produced so far. Our knowledge about the village of Theadelphia in the Roman period can be further expanded, and my aim is to extend research to other underexplored archival documentation. I propose to focus on second century documents from the village in question, as these are more informative and more numerous, and constitute the main source for the village of Theadelphia in Roman period. In particular, I am convinced that the archives of Aphrodisios son of Philippos (AD 88 161) and Ptolemaios son of Diodoros (AD 138 162) enable us to fill gaps about this village and its elites.My research project aims to produce an edition, with extensive philological and historical commentary, of all the documents belong to the archives of Aphrodisios and Ptolemaios. This project has also other objectives: 1. To investigate the social aspect of second century Theadelphia, focusing on the status of privileged families. 2. To contribute to previous knowledge on taxation of Roman Egypt, especially on land taxes and taxes on maintenance of dams and canals. 3. To analyze the management of the marshes in relation to hunting and fishing. All this documentation will be analyzed with two methods:Papyrological: Main core of the work will be the study of texts, supported by comparison with similar documents on papyrus from other areas and contexts. Historical: I will analyze the contents and interpretations of the texts. By providing each text with an extensive commentary, I will contribute to enhance our knowledge of Roman Theadelphia, and more broadly of Roman Egypt.To complete this research, it will be necessary to use a broad array of sources, published and unpublished. Primarily, I will research documents belonging to the abovementioned archives, but I will obviously relay also on other sources, mainly dated to the same second century. I will work on original documents housed in the John Rylands Library, however I will also use digital images of papyri kept in various other institutions, including the British Library.

这一研究建议在纸莎草学领域的重点是罗马埃及的社会和行政史。纸莎草纸上的文献是研究罗马帝国和埃及古代历史的最重要来源，因为它们不加过滤地提供了特定社会，政治和文化环境的证词。研究罗马帝国对了解我们的社会至关重要。利用罗马时期的纸莎草纸作为资料来源，纸莎草学家和历史学家一直在研究法尤姆那些村庄的人口和行政结构。然而，当关注Arsinoites nomos时，这是古埃及的一个省，在罗马时期具有特殊的行政地位，Theatrium村看起来也很重要，并且得到了很好的证明;尽管如此，迄今为止的研究较少。我们对罗马时期的泰戈尔村的了解可以进一步扩大，我的目标是将研究扩展到其他未充分探索的档案文献。我建议把重点放在第二个世纪的文件，从村庄的问题，因为这些都是更翔实和更多的，并构成了罗马时期的主要来源的村庄。特别是，我相信，阿佛洛狄西俄斯的儿子菲利普（公元88 161）和托勒密的儿子狄奥多罗斯（公元138 162）的档案使我们能够填补这个村庄及其精英的空白。我的研究项目的目的是产生一个版本，与广泛的语言学和历史评论，所有文件属于阿佛洛狄西俄斯和托勒密的档案。该项目还有其他目标：1。研究世纪的社会问题，重点是特权家庭的地位。2.有助于以前的知识对罗马埃及税收，特别是土地税和税收的维护水坝和运河。3.分析与狩猎和捕鱼有关的沼泽地管理。所有这些文件将用两种方法进行分析：纸莎草学：工作的主要核心将是文本的研究，通过与其他地区和背景下的纸莎草纸类似文件的比较来支持。历史：我将分析文本的内容和解释。通过为每个文本提供广泛的评论，我将有助于提高我们对罗马神学的认识，更广泛地说，罗马埃及。为了完成这项研究，有必要使用广泛的来源，出版和未出版。首先，我将研究属于上述档案的文件，但我显然也会依赖其他来源，主要是同一个世纪。我将使用约翰·莱兰兹图书馆（John Rylands Library）保存的原始文件，但我也将使用保存在其他各种机构（包括大英图书馆）的纸莎草纸数字图像。
