kōmárchēs). Expressive designation for an official of the Ptolemaic and Roman period in Egypt, who was responsible for all the concerns of village administration (
kṓmē ), was subordinate to the
toparches and
nomarches (the
komarches was also active in metropoleis, being responsible for city districts). In the Ptolemaic period, the office of the

komarches came from the village for which he was responsible. The differentiation from the
komogrammateús is difficult; he w…

Lagus
(171 words)
(Λάγος, Λαγός/
Lágos,
Lagós; personal name not from
lagṓs, ‘hare’, but probably from
laoí, ‘people’). [German version] [1] Macedonian from Eordaia or Orestis, father of Ptolemy I Macedonian from Eordaea or Orestis.

Ptolemy fostered the memory of L.: a hippodrome in Alexandria and a town in Arsinoe were called
Lágeion. The legend of Philippus II fathering Ptolemy I is, therefore, probably of later origin. The Ptolemies …

Tryphe
(133 words)
[German version] (τρυφή;
tryph
ḗ). A specifically Ptolemaic ruler ideal (cf. the epithet
Trýphōn,
Trýphaina), arising out of the cult of the victorious Dionysus and his celebrations.
Thryphe meant rule providing splendour and brilliance, wealth and fortune. Since it also included the fertility of the land, it could be linked to perceptions of the activities of the pharaoh. On the other hand, as a Greek term for
luxus with negative connotations,
thryphe was…

Lochus
(181 words)
[German version] Son of Callimedes;
syngenḗs of Ptolemy VIII and Cleopatra [II 6] III. in 127 BC ( Court titles B. 2.). L. acted as a benefactor for Roman merchants in the conquest of Alexandria by Ptolemy (IDélos 1526; cf. IDélos 1536?) and was perhaps even the commanding general on this occasion (then in Diod. Sic. 34/5,20 L. should likewise be read instead of Hegelochus [2]). Between 128/7 and 118 L. was the
stratēgòs autokrátōr (‘Commander in chief’) of the Thebaid, an office that cannot have differed very greatly from that of
epistrátēgos (UPZ II 187; [1. 19]; [2. 51f.]); between 124 and 113 he is attested as the eponymous officer, and before February 117 he was promoted to
hypomnēmatográphos. PP I/VIII 10; 195; II/VIII 1940; 2088. Ameling, Walter (Jena) Bibliography…
