Abstract
This interdisciplinary study, based on the documentary sources in both Greek and Demotic Egyptian, examines the immigration and settlement of foreign women in Hellenistic Egypt, an important topic unexplored by previous research. Their integration into local society and significance within it are discussed. It is shown statistically that immigrant women are vastly less numerous than their male counterparts in our sources, and it is argued that this is due to the combined effect of various socio-economic and legal factors.
