The Mediterranean in the Ancient Age was a space of conflicts, exchanges, encounters, interactions and disagreements. This article examines the cultural tensions between native Egyptians (ⲛ̅ⲣⲙ̅ⲛ̅ⲕⲏⲙⲉ [enremenkēme]) and the settlers of the metropolitan nomos in Roman Egypt, known as ἀλλόφυλοι or ⲛⲁⲗⲗⲟⲫⲩⲗⲟⲥ [n.allophylos], from a historical-literary and cultural perspective. The study focuses on the predictions of the Λόγος Τέλειος, corresponding to Asclepius 24 in its Latin version and ⲗⲟⲅⲟⲥ ⲧⲉⲗⲉⲓⲟⲥ (Nag Hammadi VI.8 [70.3-71.29]) in its Coptic version, with particular emphasis on sociocultural interaction in Roman Egypt.
