Abstract
Resumen: El papiro SB IV 7336 (TM III 30801, III d. C.) contiene una cuenta donde serefieren los gastos asociados a la celebración de dos festivales religiosos, uno de los cua-
les es en honor al dios Sarapis. En ella se observa principalmente la remuneración económica que reciben los distintos participantes de las Sarapias, entre los que destaca la figura
del «cara de perro» (kynōpēs), que, a diferencia del resto, recibe unos «dones» (xenia). Este papiro es el único testimonio griego en el que aparece mencionado este personaje
con dicho nombre. En el presente capítulo, a partir del texto de SB IV 7336, se realiza un estudio en el que se cotejan otros testimonios papirológicos, literarios y arqueológicos,
con el objetivo de profundizar en los aspectos que caracterizan al kynōpēs. Se espera poder alcanzar así una mejor comprensión del contexto social, político y religioso de la sociedad de Egipto en época romana.
Abstract: The papyrus SB IV 7336 (TM 30801, 3rd century CE) contains an account of expenses related to the celebration of two religious festivals. One of them is in honour of the god Sarapis. The papyrus mainly shows the financial remuneration received by the different participants in the festival. The «dog-faced» (kynōpēs) stands out among them, because he receives «gifts» (xenia), unlike the others. This papyrus is the only Greek source in which this character is mentioned by this name. In this chapter, taking the text of SB IV 7336 as a starting point, we carry out a study in which other sources are compared, not only papyri and literary works, but also archaeological testimonies. The aim is to offer a detailed analysis of the distinctive aspects of the kynōpēs, so as to be able to contribute to a better understanding of the social, political and religious context of Egyptian society in the Roman period.
