This article examines Ptolemaic papyrological sources (Demotic and Greek) indicating the existence of marketplaces located next to the river during this period, which have so far been completely overlooked in the discussion on Egyptian markets. It focuses particularly on the location of marketplaces and their relation to settlements and the markets’ setting – whether they were surrounded by farmland or by buildings, and of what type. This analysis points to the highest parts of the riverbanks as the most likely location of marketplaces. Additionally, the article contains terminological remarks regarding the terms for the marketplace and the Nile in both Demotic and Greek.

托勒密埃及的河岸市场

本文考察了托勒密纸质文献来源（通俗和希腊），表明这一时期存在位于河流旁边的市场，迄今为止在讨论埃及市场时完全忽略了这些市场。它特别关注市场的位置及其与定居点和市场环境的关系——它们是被农田包围还是被建筑物包围，以及是什么类型。该分析指出河岸的最高部分是最有可能的市场位置。此外，该文章还包含有关通俗语和希腊语中市场和尼罗河术语的术语注释。
