David,
Perhaps a post to Ioudaios would bring some evidence to light. It might be
useful to define and limit the information. E.g., the precise guidelines for
quantifying a location as rural village, and separating the regions, say
Syria, Anatolia, Egypt, etc. There are sufficient data available for many
Jewish communities in many areas, but I do not know off-hand what qualifies,
either as a rural village, or if the smaller cites from which evidence
exists meets those parameters. If you scan the works of Feldman, Jew and
Gentile in the Ancient World; Levine, The Ancient Synagogue; and other such
works, you will likely find evidence that matches, or at least the trail for
primary data. I think the Oxyrhynchos papyri alone will reveal many cases
that might fit the parameters, mostly for Egypt, in the Roman period; e.g.,
a list of locations in the Ptolemaic period is available in Corpus Papyrorum
Judaicarum (CPJ; Tcherikover and Fuks), vol. 3, Appendix 3 (discussion in
Kasher, The Jews in Hellenistic and Roman Egypt). Trebilco and Mitchell
should cite material for Anatolia.
