The author deals with the question of the survival of certain Ptolemaic Laws in the Roman period. She quotes nine instances where royal διαγράμματα and προστάγματα are mentioned. The list is not a complete one.

L. 48, 1 5 - 1 6 ; cf. Amh. 65 = M. Chr. 274 (78 A.D.) see also Ross.-Georg. V 25ii (III cent. A. D.) and W i l c k e n , UPZ 519э — on executional proceedings of executional documents as a whole (τοις προστεταγμένοις ακολούθως): Aberd. 19н; P. M e y e r , Jur. Pap. No. 4824—25 ; SB 781764 — on καταγραφή : Tebt. 814ιο—26 cf. Flor. 55n (κατά τα προστεταγμένα) ; SB 695146 — έκχώρησις, έμβα-δεία and the term of ten days (τοις πρόστεταγμένοις ακολούθως): P. M e y e r , Jur. Pap. No. 49e = M. Chr. 241s; Flor. 552o-2i; Beri. Leihg. No. 1014-16; PSI 123722-3 ; BGU 1573i9 ; SB 781725 cf. also PSI 2 8212,22; Ross.-Georg. II 39s (15 days); M. Chr. 231ie (διελ-θόντος πλείονος χρόνου κτλ.) — on executional proceedings in ύπαλλά-γματα: Μ. Chr. 240i8,25 cf. J ör s, Sav. Ζ. 36, 3344 — on executio-nal proceedings on the basis of' private documents : BGU 578i — on παραχώρησες : BGU 177Ъ (62/3 B.C.); 1772i2 (57/6 B.C.); Oxy. 1635io (44—37 B.C.) cf. PSI Χ 1118i2 ( 2 5 - 3 7 A.D.); Ryl. II 159i6 (31/32 A. D.); PSI VIII 837τι (93 A.D.). A more thorough investi-gation will show further ones.
