摘要：There are remarkably few wills to have survived from Ptolemaic Egypt 1 . Probably the most important and certainly the longest text is the roll from third - century Arsinoit es, P. Petrie I 2 , which contains over thirty copies of wills; the originals copied on the roll were co m- posed between 238 and 225 B.C 2 . Other third century wills consist of two short fragments P. Lond. VII 2015 (Memphis, 242 B.C.) and SB XII 10859 (Ghoran, 220 B.C.).
