Abstract
The Neo-Assyrian administrative and juridical documents feature a striking characteristic: while persons identified as “Egyptians” seem to have been viewed as integral part of society, the scarcity of preserved biographic information defies a micro-historical approach in each case. Nevertheless, the corpus of sources explicitly mentioning “Egyptians” is exceedingly suited for opening up research questions on the perception of ”foreigners,” the practicalities of cross-regional mobility, and the academic challenges to research these issues. This will be exemplified by a critical review of a specific case study, which provides an exceptionally high density of indications for cross-regional mobility.
