Over time, a system that started as a means of rewarding elite Macedonian cavalry forces and of tying them to their new home was extended to the infantry and different ranks of the police force. Furthermore, as Ptolemaic concerns developed in the second century BC, the institution was opened up and key local Egyptian families are found as recipients of cleruchic land, at least in Upper Egypt where the regime was subject to on-going threat. Members of such well-established families are shown to have been important in administrative and religious, as well as in the military sphere. Finally, attention is drawn to changing local differences in the fiscal relationship of cleruchic land to the central royal treasury.</p></abstract><trans-abstract xml:lang="ru"><p>В представленной статье данные из недавно опубликованных папирусов объединены со сведениями из уже известных папирологических и эпиграфических источников, чтобы оценить современное состояние знаний о клерухии в эллинистическом Египте. Постепенно система, которая начиналась как способ поощрения элитной македонской кавалерии и укрепления их связи с новым местом жительства, распространилась на пехоту и различные чины полиции. С расширением интересов династии Птолемеев во II в. до н.э. этот институт стал более открытым, и наиболее влиятельные египетские семьи также стали получать наделы таким образом, по крайней мере, в Верхнем Египте, где царская власть постоянно находилась под угрозой. Мы видим, что члены таких статусных семей занимали важные посты не только в военной, но и в административной и религиозной сферах. Статья также обращает внимание на изменение локальных различий в фискальных отношениях между клерухиями и царской казной.</p></trans-abstract><kwd-group xml:lang="en"><kwd>cavalry</kwd><kwd>cleruchic land</kwd><kwd>cleruchy</kwd><kwd>Fayum</kwd><kwd>infantry</kwd><kwd>land surveys</kwd><kwd>police</kwd><kwd>Ptolemaic Egypt</kwd><kwd>Upper Egypt</kwd></kwd-group><kwd-group xml:lang="ru"><kwd>кавалерия</kwd><kwd>клерухия</kwd><kwd>Фаюм</kwd><kwd>пехота</kwd><kwd>землеустройство</kwd><kwd>полиция</kwd><kwd>Египет времен Птолемеев</kwd><kwd>Верхний Египет</kwd></kwd-group><funding-group/></article-meta></front><body></body><back><ref-list><ref id="B1"><label>1.</label><mixed-citation>Bresson, A. 2016: The Making of the Ancient Greek Economy: Institutions, Markets and Growth in the City-States.
