This article is a supplement to J. Le s qui er's work L'armé romaine d'Egypte d'Auguste à Dioclétien. The author proves that in addition to three legions, six alae and 14 cohorts established by L e s q u i e r , there were in Egypt other military units unknown to him.

The author discusses a Latin inscription published by A b d u l -l a t i f A h m e d A -l y in the Anna-ls of the Facu-lty of Arts Ain Shame

University III (1955) 111—146 (cf. JJP 9—10 [1956] p. 559). The re-examination concerns three points: the origins of the veterans, the praefectus in Egypt, and the rank of the officer with this title named in the inscription.

J. F. Gilliam, P. Mich. 163 [Class. Phil. vol. LI, No. 2 [1956[ 96—98).

The author asserts that the first column of this papyrus is a list of soldiers, arranged by dates of enlistment. The second may or may not have had the same character as the first.
