Excerpt from Les Finances de l'Egypte Sous les Lagides
Aux temps pharaoniques, le roi et les dieux se par tageaient la propriété du sol; en dehors des domaines divins, c'est-à-dire des biens attribués aux temples, domaines sans cesse accrus de règne en règne par la générosité royale, le roi se considérait partout comme chez lui. En était-il de même à l'époque grecque? La question est assez controversée. Les Lagides, il est vrai, ont toujours tâché d'être de véritables Pharaons, et ils ont su en conserver et même en augmenter les droits. Mais on a parfois cru trouver dans l'histoire du droit égyptien à 'époque perse et sous les der nieres dynasties nationales la preuve que ce régime de la propriété foncière avait déja disparu avant leur arrivée. Pour nous, nous devons nous homer à chen cher ce qui existait en Égypte de leur temps quelles étaient les différentes formes de la propriété foncière, et y avait-il une propriété foncière privée?
