Politikoi Nomoi Again
The following paper studies the much-debated term politikoi nomoi (‘civil laws’), as recorded in P.Gur. 2.44–45 = Sel.Pap. II 256 = CPJ I 19 (226 BCE, Crocodilopolis).

The main themes were tolerance and even the protection of particular legal traditions. By the beginning of the Roman period, changes were under way.
