Abstract

For more than seventy-five years, the standard work on the Roman army in Byzantine Egypt has been Jean Maspero's Organisation militaire de l'Egypte byzantine. Maspero's book was published in 1912, when the contents of the Syene papyri were as yet imperfectly known. At that time, Maspero had available for study of the Syene papyri: one London facsimile; an edition and reduced facsimile of a second London piece; one fully edited Munich papyrus; Wenger's "preliminary report" (Vorbericht) and its Munich papyrus extracts; and some additional information about the London papyri through correspondence with their assigned editor, Harold Bell.
