The second volume of the Giessen Papyri (P.Giss. II) includes an edition of two previously unpublished Greek documents. The first one, numbered 127, is a notebook roll from Philadelphia dated to the last years of Vespasian’s reign, containing nine documents concerning overdue rents for land in the ousiac parces; of particular interest is a draft of a complaint regarding peculation addressed to Ammonios, strategos of the Herakleidou meris. The second, numbered 128, is a fiscal codex from the Hermopolite nome, dated to the second half of the fourth century. This papyrus offers direct insight into many taxation issues, including the method of tax assessment based on the concept of kephale, which is still poorly understood; it also provides information regarding key fiscal changes that occurred after the reforms of Diocletian. The editions of these papyri will help scholars to reconstruct specific details of everyday life in Roman and Late Roman Egypt in areas including taxation, monetary systems, land tenure, onomastics, prosopography, administration, and social and economic situations.

Wie kann man aus einer Minderheitenposition heraus Identität stiften und Einfluss nehmen? Die Untersuchung von Theresa Ullmann verbindet sozialpsychologische Theorie mit biblischer Exegese und untersucht den Galaterbrief als Zeugnis paulinischer Identitätskonstruktion. Im Zentrum steht die Frage, wie Paulus seine eigene Position und die seiner Gemeinden theologisch und sozialpsychologisch legitimiert. Der Blick richtet sich dabei auf Themen wie Gruppenzugehörigkeit, Fremd- und Selbstwahrnehmung sowie auf Strategien des Minderheiteneinflusses. Der Galaterbrief erweist sich so nicht als rein theologisches, sondern auch als kommunikatives Dokument – mit aktuellen Einsichten zur Dynamik von Identität, Gemeinschaft und Überzeugungskraft.
