The supply of water across another proprietor’s land is necessary wherever not all users have the same access to water. In Egypt, where virtually all the land was irrigated by the Nile’s annual flooding, the floodwater was distributed through an elaborate irrigation system of floodplains, so water access was a marginal problem. There are only a few papyri extant with evidence of this phenomenon in Graeco-Roman Egypt, and they are the subject of this article. They clearly indicate that the need to bring water across someone else’s property was limited to land requiring irrigation all year round. This was observed for vineyards, which were irrigated by means of reservoirs and various types of hydraulic devices not located on each plot. Hence to ...
