This chapter investigates in what way papyri refer to the applicable law and whether the manner of referring to law changes after the Roman conquest.

Each papyrus (or combination of papyri) under discussion presents a case study of the references to law in (a) document(s) of a certain type (for example sale, receipt, loan, deposit). The majority of papyri discussed here are not covered in the case studies of part II, though some overlap is inevitable. Conclusions will be presented in a descriptive section als well as in table form for quick reference.
