Research for the toponyms of Siwa oasis in Roman times
In the papyrus Graux 27, dating back to the year 15 of Septimus Severus (207 AD), month of Mecheir, coming from Siwa Oasis (as shown in the text where the name of the oasis in Roman times is used twice), at the lines 7 and 9, appears the name of a village of the oasis (κώμης Θαγρο̣υ̣) that someone, for reasons of assonance, proposed to identify with the village of Dakrūr but that is very dubious. Text and image come from: Papyrus Graux II (P. Graux 9 à 29) by Hélène Cuvigny
