| Notes: |
the name Arsinoites is for the first time attested in BC 259; the ethnicon Arsinoites refers to the nomos, not to the city of Arsinoe (a name only used from the Roman period on); new reading in P. Dime 3 9 (= SB 18 13579), Gr. 2 (no toponym); new reading in P. Bodl. 1 15, 10 (no toponym; cf. BL 12, p. 40) |
