Synopsis
Contributing Authors

The bilingual archives of the Greek recluse (katokhoi), Sarapieion of Memphis, are an exceptional corpus from which to study relations between Greeks and Egyptians as they related to the Egyptian temple in the second century BCE. The survey puts the seclusion of Egypt into the broader context of the Hellenistic and Roman world. It proposes a solution to the debate about the nature of this seclusion (katokhe), showing that these men, who enjoy the protection of the gods in the sacred space, have been seduced by the Egyptian religion. Both sons of the Macedonian cleruchy Glaukias, Ptolemaios and Apollonius, are at the heart of the research, which looks at their economic means, their friendships, and tensions with the Egyptian environment, and their involvement in written and oral culture. The question of their eventual bilingualism and the study of readings found in their library raises the question of the level of Greek education and their openness to the Egyptian world. French text.

Les archives bilingues des reclus grecs (katokhoi) du Sarapieion de Memphis constituent un corpus exceptionnel pour etudier les relations entre Hellenes et Egyptiens dans le cadre d’un temple egyptien au deuxieme siecle avant notre ere. L’enquete replace la reclusion en Egypte dans le cadre plus large du monde hellenistique et romain. Elle propose une solution au debat sur la nature de cette reclusion (katokhe) en montrant que ces hommes, qui beneficient de la protection des dieux dans l’espace sacre, ont ete seduits par la religion egyptienne. Les deux fils du clerouque Macedonien Glaukias, Ptolemaios et Apollonios, sont le cur de la recherche, qui degage leurs moyens economiques de vie, leurs amities et les tensions avec le milieu egyptien, et leur niveau de culture orale et ecrite. La question de leur eventuel bilinguisme et l’etude des lectures que revele leur bibliotheque posent la question du niveau de leur education grecque et de leur degre d’ouverture au monde egyptien.
