Description
Greek Personal Names in Egypt provides a comprehensive overview of Greek onomastics in Egypt from the Ptolemaic to the Late Byzantine period, highlighting the rich and diverse onomastic landscape and paying special attention to diachronic change. The work explores naming practices and their intersection with the social and cultural history of Egypt over a long chronological span, foreign names, and cross-cultural exchanges. It also explores current research questions and future directions in onomastic studies in Graeco-Roman and Late Antique Egypt. The papers offer a range of different perspectives and approaches in the field, with contributions by specialists from the fields of Greek Papyrology, Egyptology, Coptology and Ancient History.
