Greek papyrus (Soc. ital. die Firenze, pap. gr. e lat. V, no. 531). It is noteworthy that Aimé-Giron, M. N. (Textes araméens d'Égypte [Cairo: 1931] 5961Google Scholar) has drawn a parallel between the term “encampment” (stratopedori) used by Herodotus and that of degel which appears in fifth-century Aramaic Documents from Egypt; Porten, B. (Archives from Elephantine [Berkeley: University of California Press, 1968] 2835)Google Scholar correctly interprets degel as being a “socio-military unit.”.
