This book contains the edition of texts from the archive of Kleon and

Theodoros, the engineers who were responsible for the upkeep of the

large scale irrigation system in the Fayum during the reigns of Ptolemy

II and III between 260 and 237 BC. The Kleon archive is contemporaneous

with the famous Zenon archive and offers a window on the same society

from a different angle. The edition contains the texts with translation

and commentary of 124 Greek papyri, of which 37 are published here for

the first time; for the others there are numerous new readings and

interpretations. The former edition in the Petrie papyri was over a

hundred years old, difficult to consult and in need of revision. In the

new edition papyrological studies of the last century are incorporated,

and the persons are situated in their historical context, including a

royal visit to the province in 253 BC.
