Revised edition of Guido Bastianini - John Whitehorne, Strategi and Royal Scribes of Roman Egypt. Chronological List and Index, Papyrologica Florentina XV. Florence 1987

The strategi and royal scribes were the chief administrative officials of the nomes of Roman Egypt. The presence of named individuals with known terms of office is therefore often significant in the dating of documentary papyri. Updating Volume XV of the Papyrologica Florentina series (1987), this volume takes account of the relevant texts in nearly 150 volumes of papyri published over the last two decades up to the end of 2004. New entries and additions d royal scribes can now be dated much more precisely than hitherto.
