« Du côté de chez Zeus » traduit l’expression grecque par laquelle les ostraca du poste caravanier d’Abû Qurayya désignaient ce lieu, situé sur la piste antique qui reliait Koptos, sur le Nil, à Bérénice, sur la mer Rouge. Le fortin, construit en 117 de notre ère, avait succédé à un précédent (Bi’r Bayza), situé à quelques kilomètres de là, et dont le puits s’était tari. Ce livre, consacré à l’archéologie de ces deux sites, explorés de 2006 à 2009, s’inscrit dans la suite des publications précédentes sur la route de Myos Hormos, le praesidium de Didymoi ou encore les carrières d’Umm Balad. Il contient aussi l’édition d’un certain nombre d’ostraca jugés importants pour la compréhension de l’histoire de ces postes. Enfin, il livre pour la première fois une étude raisonnée de la céramique découverte dans ces différents fortins du désert Oriental.
“Du
côté de chez Zeus” is the translation of the Greek expression used on
the ostraca of Abu Qurayya’s caravan station to designate this place,
which is located on the ancient route linking Koptos, on the Nile, to
Berenice, on the Red Sea. The fort, built in 117 AD, had succeeded an
earlier one (Bi’r Bayza), located a few kilometres away, whose well had
run dry. This book, devoted to the archaeology of these two sites
explored between 2006 and 2009, continues the previous publications on
the Myos Hormos road, the Didymoi praesidium and the Umm Balad
quarries. It includes editions of a number of ostraca deemed important
for understanding the history of these posts. It also provides, for the
first time, a reasoned study of the ceramics found in these various
forts in the Eastern desert.
