Sample Charts from Philadelphia Land-Register (216/17 CE) Analysis

Locations of the village of Philadelphia, the metropolis of Arsinoe, and major city of

Alexandria.

Map: People from all three locations owned land near the village. Chart 1: Grain-Land Holdings (Arouras), All Owners, RankedChart 2: Olive- Grove Holdings (Arouras),

All Owners, Ranked

Chart 3: Ranked Net Productive Capacity (Artabas) of Holdings after Taxes and Seed Grain are Deducted, In Grain Equivalent (Olive-Groves Weighted Double) Villagers Only

By far the 3 largest olive- grove holdings belonged to urbanites; but the 3 largest villager holdings were still quite large.

Villager holdings (60% of land)

Urbanite holdings (40% of land)

When one weights the net productive capacity of olive-grove land at double that of grain-land, the urbanite monopoly of net productive capacity of private land stands at 23%.

Villager holdings (85% of land)

8 of the 10 largest grain- land holdings owned by villagers.

Urbanite holdings (15% of land)16% of grain-land owners were women.

15% of orchard-grove owners were women.

26% = Infra-subsistence families which are partially

dependent on market exchange / sale of their labor

25 % = Families which live at subsistence or just

above subsistence- level and would best fit the

“peasant” model

19% = Families which are well above

subsistence-level, and fairly comfortably off.

= 3% = Families as wealthy and even wealthier than the average elite family.

13% = Families which are quite comfortably off.

**Let the net productive capacity be αs, where s is the minimum subsistence requirement for a family of four in artabas of grain equivalent.

1 ≤ α ≤ 2.03 2.03 ≤ α ≤ 4.03 4.03 ≤ α ≤ 6.09

6.09 ≤ α ≤ 15.5

For the top six holdings,

17.01 ≤ α ≤ 38.69

14% = Families which are well-to-do but not as rich as the average

urban elite family.
