  (120-110 B.C. village scribe (komogrammateur) in Kerkeosiris, Egypt) Menches alias Asklepiades was village scribe in Kerkeosiris, in the southern of El Faiyum, Egypt. (South of Cairo) 120-110 B. C. Menches, like his father, was called a "Greek of the country", and he had a double identity, a Greek and an Egyptian name. This was typical in the Ptolemaic bureauvracy. One used one's Egyptian name when dealing with Egyptians, and the Greek name in a Greek context. After Alexander's conquest of Egypt in 331 BC, Greek was adopted as the official language and most official documents were written entirely in Greek. ... Menches arcive from the late second-century B.C. found at Tibtunis.
