المستخلص: Scholars have highlighted religious diversity in the Arsinoite nome (modern Fayum) in the Graeco-Roman period through consideration of Egyptian and Graeco-Roman deities worshiped in the region. The most popular cult in the Fayum district was that of the crocodile god Sobek or Souchos. Some economic, administrative, and religious aspects of the cult of Souchos and his local incarnations in the Fayum were points of research interest. Yet the festival of the god Souchos referred to in Greek papyri as Soucheia has not been covered so far.4 This paper attempts to reconstruct the Soucheia in the light of Greek papyrological evidence. The festival is only associated with the villages of Tebtynis and Soknopaiou Nesos, and appears as a joyful celebration with a banquet. The Soucheia reflects the complexity of religious life and practices in the Arsinoite nome, a highly Hellenised part of Egypt in Graeco-Roman times, being celebrated by Egyptian villagers, Greeks, and Persians of the epigone.
