This volume examines lending practices in Egypt during the Ptolemaic period (332-30 BCE), especially, but not exclusively, through the lens of the demotic loan-account papyri of Panas, son of Espmetis. It begins by introducing some of the issues associated with the history of ancient lending, and surveys previous discussions of lending practices in Ptolemaic Egypt. It then introduces the demotic loan-account papyri of Panas, and how they alter the current understanding of lending in Ptolemaic Egypt. The volume explores the contents of the papyri, placing them in their social, legal and historical contexts, and concludes with a full edition of the papyri.

Brian P. Muhs is associate professor of Egyptology at the Institute for the Study of Ancient Cultures of the University of Chicago. Lending in Ptolemaic Egypt is Prof. Muhs' fourth book on Egyptian social, economic and legal institutions in the Ptolemaic period.
