السوريون في مصر خلال عصر البطالمة

Abstract EN

This study does not deal with the political relations between Egypt and Syria during the Ptolemaic period or with the trade relations between the two countries during the same period; because these topics were examined and studied by many scholars before.

This study is concerning with the conditions of Syrians who lived inside the different districts (nomoi) of Egypt during the Ptolemaic period (332-31 BC), in terms of their reasons for coming to Egypt and their places of residence, the professions and crafts they practiced during their stay, as well as their social and economic conditions, and the gods they had worshiped.

And that through what was reported about them, whether in literary sources or documentary sources, especially papyri.
