38	PREFATORY NOTE.
39	In the present state of Europe, when scientific
40	life is everywhere suffering from divisions, intellectual
41	and economic, consequent upon the war, the Danish
42	Government, realising the duties of a neutral and of
43	a collaborator in the society of nations, deserves our
44	thanks for the creation of the “Rask-Oersted IFoun-
45	dation”, whereof the object is to contribute something
46	towards furthering international co-operation in matters
47	scientific. A munificent contribution on the part of
48	the Council of the Foundation and the goodwill of
49	Coptic scholars of various nationalities have made it
50	possible to arrange for the issue of a series of Cop-
51	tic texts — for the most part unpublished — which
52	will, I trust, be welcomed by that small circle for
53	whom the Coptic language and the additions it has
54	to offer towards our knowledge of early Christianity
55	are of interest.

57	PREFACE.
58	With a few exceptions, the documents collected in this
59	volume were found, along with many other objects, at Wadi
60	Sarga, during the excavation of the site in the winter of
61	1913—1914 by Mr. R. CampeerL THoMPsox for the Byzantine
62	Research Fund ; and it is by the kind permission of that body
63	that we are enabled to publish them here. They include:
64	(a) Greek and Coptic ostraca, which form the bulk of the
65	collection, (b) Coptic stelae and graffiti, whether left in situ
66	or brought to England, c) Greek and Coptic papyrus and vel-
67	lum fragments. Since documents of the same class occur on
68	different materials, we have not in our arrangement had regard
69	to the material employed, but have classified the texts according
70	to their character. Only in the case of other materials than
71	potsherds is the material specified. It must be added that the
72	documents here published are only a selection from the whole.
73	We have included all complete texts and not a few fragments;
74	but besides numerous papyrus or vellum scraps, too insignifi-
75	cant to be worth publishing, there are many fragmentary ostraca,
76	some at least of which might perhaps be fitted together, did
77	the results promise to justify the labour which this would en-
78	tail. Since, however, they seem unlikely to add anything to
79	the evidence of the more complete ostraca,, they may safely be
80	neglected, and we hope that the present volume contains all
81	the written or inscribed records found at Wadi Sarga which
82	are of value to historical research. To the documents dis-
83	covered by Mr. THoypsox we have been able to add a few found
84	independently, but clearly assignable to the same site.
page 16
85	x PREFACE.
86	If the texts here published were not to lose much of their
87	value as historical records it was necessary to add to our com-
88	mentary some description of the site and of Mr. Ⲧⲏⲟⲗⲣⲃⲟⲭ 5
89	excavations, of which he has been kind enough to give us a
90	brief account for incorporation in our Introduction; but ar-
91	chaeology is not our province, and we have reduced this part
92	of our work to a minimum. It is to be hoped that Mr. Ⲧⲏⲟⲛⲃ-
93	ⲃⲟⲛ will be able later on to produce an archaeological work
94	on the site and the many interesting finds made there, sup-
95	plementing our volume.
96	It must be acknowledged that the interest of the present
97	documents is of a somewhat restricted kind. There are no
98	very outstanding texts, nor do the letters, in general, show any
99	of those more vivid or intimate touches seen in several of the
100	papyri or ostraca from other sites, or the legal texts present
101	any points of juristic importance; but there is much topo-
102	graphical material of value, and some useful evidence on me-
103	trology, nor are some of the texts, whether Greek or Coptic,
104	wanting in philological interest. The main importance of the
105	collection lies, however, less in details than in its ensemble, as
106	presenting a picture of the life and activities of a monastic
107	settlement.
108	The work of editing the single texts has, naturally, been
109	divided between us according to the language employed; but
110	since documents of the same class were written now in Greek
111	(which, however, is sometimes to be styled Greek only by
112	courtesy) and now in Coptic, no distinction between the two
113	languages has been made in our arrangement, and each of us
114	has read the whole volume, adding notes, where notes sug-
115	gested themselves, to his colleague's commentary. Throughout
116	the volume the topographical notes are, with very few excep-
117	tions, due to Crum, who has written also section Il of the
118	Introduction and compiled the Indexes; BeLL is responsible
119	for section 1V, on metrology.
120	For convenience in printing Coptic type has been used
121	throughout, except that in a few of the Coptic texts, where
122	portions are inserted in Greek and in minuscule script, we
page 17
123	PREFACE. Xl
124	have distinguished words so written by the use of Greek type.
125	To facilitate the distinction of Greek from Coptic texts we
126	have given at the beginning a list arranged according to the
127	language employed. In the commentary the numbers of texts
128	included in this volume are printed in ifalic type.
129	Since we began work on these texts, the Byzantine Re-
130	search Fund has presented to the British Museum the whole
131	of the material obtained by it in the excavation of Wadi Sarga,
132	including the documents here published, which will be assigned
133	to the appropriate Departments. It has been possible for us to
134	indicate here the inventory numbers given in the Department
135	of MSS. to the few Greek vellum and papyrus fragments and
136	the general number (Or. MS. go35) given in the Oriental Ⲣⲉ-
137	partment to the Coptic ones; but the ostraca (assigned to the
138	Egyptian Department) and stelae (Department of British and
139	Mediaeval Antiquities) were not inventoried in time for us to
140	indicate the proper numbers.
141	In conclusion we desire to express our thanks to the
142	Byzantine Research Fund, and particularly to Sir HErcuLES READ
143	and Mr. Darron, for permitting us to publish these documents ;
144	to Dr. H. O. Laxce and the Danish Academy for undertaking
145	the publication; to Prof. W. M. FrLinpERs PETRIE for permission
146	to include in the volume the texts of some stelae (nos. 33,
147	35—38, 42 of our series), of which facsimiles were given in
148	his Memphis I, pli. LIII, LIV and Gizeh and Rifeh, pll. XLIX,
149	L; to Prof. F. W. Kersey of the University of Michigan, for
150	placing at our disposal the papyrus here numbered 174; to
151	Mr. R. Camper. THoMPsoN for his account of the excavations;
152	and to the Printers for their care and accuracy in setting up
153	the difficult copy.

605	I. The Excavations at Wadi Sarga.
606	By R. Campbell Thompson.
607	The excavations in which the inscriptions published in this
608	volume were found were carried on on behalf of the Byzantine
609	Research Fund during the winter of 1913—i14 at Wadi Sarga,
610	an extensive Coptic site about fifteen miles south of Asyut. I was
611	fortunate in being accompanied for a fortnight by my friend
612	Mr. F. A. Ricuarps, a trained architect, who came out at his own
613	expense and mapped the precincts of this site. The war, however,
614	interrupted his work on this map, and he volunteered early in
615	1914 for service on the sea: the present map is only a plane-
616	table sketch, for which he is not responsible. As space in this
617	volume is confined to inscriptions, ostraca etc., I have held over
618	my detailed plans of the buildings excavated for inclusion in a
619	fuller publication. .
620	Wadi Sarga is a broad gully in the bare limestone cliffs
621	which flank the valley of the Nile on the west, about a mile
622	distant from the edge of cultivation near the village of Dér-el-
623	Ganadleh. The wadi itself is from 100 to 300 vards wide, and
624	extends far into the hills; clustered within its mouth and often
625	up both steep flanks for a distance of perhaps a third of a mile
626	up its length lie the remains of what was once a thriving Coptic
627	community. The ancient inhabitants had masked its entrance with
628	Coptica, 11 . 1
page 28
629	2 INTRODUCTION.
630	a vallum now only a few feet high jutting out in the form of
631	a rectangle towards the eastern flats, made partly of large rough
632	stones, each in size as much as a man could carry, from the
633	limestone hills. To protect themselves additionally on either slope
634	they had made a rough wall, now consisting of loose stones,
635	skirting the exposed sides of the town on such parts of the crest
636	as demanded such a barrier, leaving intervals only where the
637	rock was sufficiently precipitous to form a natural defence.
638	Standing at the entrance one looks straight up the wadi
639	for three hundred yards, at which point it turns sharp to the
640	right. On the crest of the left (southern) slope are the ruins of
641	large buildings, and trailing down the side are many small and
642	narrow houses. To thé front, two hundred yards up the wadi
643	and astride it, is the imposing mass of brick walls which form
644	the rectangle of what the Arabs call the “stab!” or beast-cara-
645	vanserai. The right slope of the wadi is packed with little
646	houses, built up the steep side, one above another, with a common
647	stairway leading upwards, and beyond these, on the right of the
648	“stabl”, is the opening of a large cave running under a spur
649	which juts out from the northern side.
650	After this first view, proceeding further up the wadi, one
651	sees in the southern ridge, on a kind of second terrace, the
652	“Church” caves of great extent, containing remarkable frescoes
653	of the Lord’s Supper.
654	These are great caverns running far up into the mountain,
655	the rock having been so hewn as to leave columns for the support
656	of the roof. The entrance to the cave is about 15 to 18 yards
657	wide, and the frescoes begin round the eastern corner. Here
658	first are various groups of haloed figures (twenty-two in all),
659	with geometric designs; then follows the main fresco, the Lord's
660	Supper, in the dome. The central figure is Christ at the table
661	with a halo round His head, and wearing a red gown, and He
662	is giving one of the disciples to drink from a golden cup. To
663	the left of Him (to the north) are at least five haloed figures;
664	on the right, including the figure drinking, are three more. Here
665	there is a break of five feet, and then come two figures who
666	may or may not belong to the main picture. There are several

692	more (fifteen in number, and three, perhaps originally four,
693	medallions of heads) round the corner to the south.
694	Above the caves, outside, up the hill slope, built to the very
695	verge of the abrupt and sheer fall of the cliff are more small
696	houses. Continuing still further up the valley and following its
697	turn to the right, one passes a large brick building on the southern
698	side supported half way up the slope of the hillside by a well-
699	made revetment of large stones, and presently the western entrance
700	of the cave which is mentioned above as running under a northern
701	spur is reached. Then, by following up the wadi which now
702	winds to the left, one meets a third series of caves on the south
703	side. Near here, in one of these caves I found a late Egyptian
704	sculpture of a scene including Antaeus (?) (published in Proc.
705	Soc. Bibl. Arch., 1914, 198), and there were other indications of
706	Egyptian occupation from the excavations, such as a large block
707	of well-squared breccia, and the bones of a crocodile at some
708	considerable distance away up in the hills which was found by
709	my uncle, Mr. FRepERIC THOMPSON, who stayed with me for some
710	days. Still more definite was.a late Egyptian cemetery on the
711	fringe of cultivation towards the village of Dér-el-Ganadleh.
712	On the other hand the diggers found only virgin sand at the
713	foot of the northern slope beneath the Coptic house-levels.
714	The remains at the foot of the Coptic houses may best be
715	described under three heads: ⲓ.) The Buildings, (2.) The “Throw-
716	outs”, (3.) The Cemeteries.
717	Taking the houses on the north slope of the hill first, I
718	found that the best way to excavate them was to dig from below,
719	gradually ascending the hill side, and filling the lower chambers
720	with the sand thrown out from those above as soon as they had
721	been planned. The houses may be defined as being on at least
722	seven levels as far as I dug them (o = wadi level, 1 =17',
723	2=17 6", 3=124, 4 ==36"5", 5 = 42" 2, 6 = 49" 5”) and
724	above this the chambers did not offer much prospect of success.
725	As a rule the walls in the lowest level (ⲟ) were built
726	on foundations of big rough stones. These walls, and those of the
727	houses above, were made of unburnt brick, and then plastered
728	over with mud and sometimes whitewashed, adorned with frescoes
729	ϯ

730	4 INTRODUCTION.
731	of saints or, in one case, a lion, and graffiti. Several of the
732	chambers had mastabas or solid benches adjoining the virgin
733	wall formed by the hillside; and as our finds showed, there had
734	been some attempt to set up small limestone columns. The roofs
735	had rafters of date-palm trunks, and there were ovens in several
736	of the chambers. The ascent up the hillside was made by a kind
737	of public stairway.
738	The occupants were comfortable, if not wealthy. They used
739	a simple pottery, making amphorae (which they frequently in-
740	scribed) which had special stoppers, basins, lamps, wine-cups, etc.;
741	they used a white ware for oenochoae, and painted some of the
742	pottery somewhat crudely, the pieces of one vase representing
743	combats obviously in Greek style. They carved the soft limestone
744	decoratively with arabesques or representations of fruit, etc., one
745	of the objects found being a limestone stand for two vessels.
746	They wove cloth well in designs; they wore leather shoes; they
747	made mats of string and palm, baskets, and nets; they ornamented
748	leather, and bound their pot-handles with leather; they had bronze
749	balances, fibulae and crosses; iron hooks and nails; leather bags
750	and water skins; and glass (one piece was a foot, like that of
751	a modern wine-glass). Many were able to write, and there appears
752	to have been a custom of preserving commemorative stelae, which
753	were often found in the ruins of the houses.
754	We tried an experimental trench near the S.E. corner of
755	the “stabl”, and this resulted in our finding a flooring of well-
756	cut limestone slabs. The walls inside had been covered with a
757	whitened plaster, and there seem to have been some small chambers
758	leading out of the main hall(?). We found a large limestone
759	block, 7° ⲃ X 11”, morticed in in three places.
760	We also dug out several chambers in various other parts
761	of the wadi, all of which resulted in our finding the same kind
762	of objects as the houses on the north slope provided.
763	The “throw-outs” afforded most interesting remains, and
764	these within a few inches of the surface. The most important
765	were two (No. *ⲑⲟ at the mouth of the wadi, each about thirty
766	vards long and in places as much as fifteen wide. A foot below
767	surface level was a bed of ashes three feet thick, below which
page 33
768	INTRODUCTION. 5
769	was earth again. The finds here included 66g ostraca and
770	many papyri and some vellum fragments.
771	The next best “throw-out’” was No.*70” in the large middle
772	cave under the northern spur, from which also came many ostraca.
773	There were two other good refuse-heaps (Nos. “40” and “43”,
774	marked on the map) which provided ostraca or other antiquities.
775	The cemeteries were outside the wadi; the first is near its
776	debouchment, and the second is some little way off, in front of
777	the more modern church near the old Well. 1 opened between
778	twenty and thirty graves, but found little except the bodies in
779	rough wrappings. These were buried as a rule about five feet
780	below the surface, with their feet to the east in practically every
781	case (the position of the body being usually between 60° and
782	7° magnetic bearing) (1). A third cemetery near Dér-el-Ganadleh
783	turned out to be late Egyptian and need not be discussed here.
784	Perhaps the most striking result of the whole excavation
785	came from a small villa about two miles distant to the north,
786	where were frescoes of Kosmas and Damian, the Holy Children
787	in the Furnace, and a peacock. These have been fully described (2)
788	by O. M. Dartox in Journ. Egypt. Archaeol. 111, 33.
789	The objects are for the most part now in the British
790	Museum.

794	II. The Monastic Settlement and its Inhabitants.
795	By W. E. Crum.
796	The monastery or ascetic settlement, whence our materials
797	come, is not one of those known to the later topographers, such
798	as Aba Salih or Makrizi(1). The name of the neighbouring village,
799	Dair al-Ganadlah, indeed implies the existence at one time of a
800	monastery; but there is no. explanation of its name which helps
801	us to connect it with the ruins in the Wadi Sarga.
802	Among our texts and those related to them(2) there are how-
803	ever about a dozen which show us the names whereby the
804	monastery was known in the 6th or 7th centuries. These tell us
805	that it bore the name of “The Holy Monastery of Apa Thomas”
806	(164, 375), “The Monastery of Apa Th.” (344), “The Rock (=éz¢a)
807	of Apa Th.” (Ryl. 28g, cf. 724 and 2 unpublished fragments)(3).
808	One letter (96) is adressed to the “‘archimandrite of the Holy
809	Mount” (4), which may or may not be identical with the Rock of
810	Thomas. But “The Holy Rock (wéspa)”, named in two letters
811	from the neighbouring Dair Balaizah (now in Bodleian), is most
812	(1) The only monastery (Makrizi’s no. 54) bearing the name of Thomas
813	(v. below) in the district is that dedicated to the apostle; moreover it lies too
814	near Siut.
815	(2) The papyri Ryl. 124, 201 (probably), 289, 294 emanate from our
816	monastery. They appear to have come on to the market of Ashmunain, mixed
817	with the rest of the documents from that neighbourhood. Doubtless others sold
818	there had a like origin.
819	(3) Several other scraps of papyrus from W. Sarga preserve these words
820	imperfectly.
821	(4) “Holy Mount” is in Egypt sometimes a designation of Shihét, or of the
822	White Monastery (Turaief, Mater., no. 53), or merely perhaps of the monastery
823	whence an inscription comes, ϭ. g. on stelae from Edfu (or Luxor?): V. Scumipr,
824	Den Aegypt. Samling 1908, no. 810.
page 35
825	INTRODUCTION. 7
826	probably our monastery.(1) What the origin was of this epithet
827	“holy” we know not. The still very tangled legends of the
828	sojourn of the Holy Family in Upper Egypt, of which the Coptic
829	original is but fragmentary (2), although relating to these districts,
830	do not allow of recognizing either of Mary's resting-places so
831	far south of Siut.
832	Who this Thomas was it has not so far been possible to
833	ascertain (3): presumably the founder of the monastery and pre-
834	sumably also identical with him who heads the group of names
835	conspicuous on so many of our stelae. On these indeed the
836	remaining names are sometimes omitted and “Thomas and his
837	brethren” suffice. That he lived before the period to which our
838	texts belong is evident from “the monastery of Apa Th.” being
839	in them an already accepted designation; from the mention of
840	several archimandrites, other than he, who are contemporary
841	with the documents; and from Th. being (apparently) invoked
842	on a stele (73).
843	} (1) liga, as a particular locality, is found in Egypt in Nitria (Hist. Laus.,
844	Butler II, 189, Mus. Guim. XXV, 296) and at Siut (Miss. franc. IV, 767, Clédat,
845	Baouit 1, 43). Cf.? Paris arabe 148, f. 305, hagir gabal Asy#ut. With this one
846	is tempted, despite difference of genders, to compare one of our unpublished
847	scraps, beginning ]ⲉⲓⲟⲩⲏϩ ϩⲛⲑⲁϭⲁⲣ ⲡ[. The word hagir is of uncertain meaning;
848	in the Synaxarium it varies occasionally with gabal (cf. PO. Ill 301 with ib. XI
849	783, Benhodeb, and ib. 440 with XI 683, Fargid, and XI 515 with 519, Erment.)
850	M. Ch. KyexTz informs me that in Upper Egypt it is “partie rocheuse de la mon-
851	tagne, lisiére du désert, non loin des terres cultivés; jamais une partie de la vallée
852	comme une digue” (the meaning given by the dictionaries). Cf. its use in Makrizi’s
853	Monasteries, nos. 48, 49, 50, 32, 53; also Dozy and KREMER, Beitrdge, s. v.
854	(2) Remnants of Timothy's sermon on the church at Koskam, Paris 131%,
855	101—104 and 1327, 22 (Ethiopic in BM. Or. 604). The place where the Virgin
856	had washed Jesus is there often called “this ⲡⲧⲣⲁ. Cf. Ryl. 277 n.
857	(3) The beginning of a Life of Thomas the anchorite is in the fragment
858	Paris arabe 263, f. 111; but from it nothing is to be learnt. Probably a confusion
859	with Th. the apostle, commemorated on the next day (26th Bashans). Another
860	_ Th. from Ashmunain, commemorated on 21st Hathor, should belong to our neigh-
861	bourhood; but nothing is known of him. Th. of the Hill (monastery) of Shensifi
862	(Cairo 46 1913, ⲣ. nis) is presumably Shenoute’s contemporary (Miss.
863	IV 463). It is indeed a considerable assumption to suppose our abbot had attained
864	a place in the Synaxarium.
page 36
865	ⲃ INTRODUCTION.
866	This group: Thomas, Peter, Joseph, Anoup, Pamoun, with
867	Germanus and Justus added thrice each and finally Enoch once
868	(51), occurs in some 13 texts (stelae and ostraca), among the
869	saints invoked. Either it follows the more renowned names, or
870	it stands alone (39, 41, 59), no one besides being invoked. The
871	names it comprises have not been found thus grouped together
872	except at Wadi Sarga; it may therefore be assumed that they
873	were honoured only here, forming perhaps the proprium of the
874	local liturgy (1). But whether we are to see in them a group of
875	contemporaries, or a sequence of successive officials(2) it is hard
876	to say. Examples of each of the names can indeed be adduced
877	from our documents and we have evidence of officials named
878	Pamoun, Germanus, Justus and Enoch(3) as contemporaries with
879	the texts which mention them. If we took these to be the very
880	dignitaries invoked upon the stelae, we should have to assume
881	the latter to be of later date than the ostraca and papyri.
882	When did Thomas live? In this question is involved an
883	interesting fact only recently noticed. The invaluable palimpsest,
884	from which Sir HerBerT THompsox has edited the Sa'idic texts
885	of Joshua etc., bears upon its last page(4) a subscription consisting
886	merely of four names: Apa Thomas, Apa Peter, Apa Joseph and
887	Apa Mena. It can scarcely be coincidence that the first three of these
888	should be identical with the first three names in the group we have
889	been discussing. The vellum MS., which was re-used in Nitria
890	to write Syriac texts in the roth century, had doubtless been
891	acquired by the monks of Dair es-Suriyan, indirectly perhaps,
892	from our monastery at Wadi Sarga. The last of the names,
893	Mena, may be that of an abbot — if abbots they be — passed
894	(1) Cf. the local worthies — abbots etc. — commemorated in the liturgical
895	MSS. from the White Monastery, or upon the stelae from Saqqara.
896	(2) If officials, were they abbots? Cf. HALL p. 143, where a stele invokes
897	“the stewards” (olzovéuot), instead of the usual “great men” == abbots.
898	(3) Assuming P. to be = Apa Amoun in Ryl. 294. G. is prior in 344
899	(perhaps he had been the abbot's representative in Ryl. 289). J. is prior in Ryl
900	201 and very likely abbot in 94, 702, 103, 113 (perhaps our monastery under
901	his name, KraLrL CCXLI, 33); while Enoch, the oft named steward, may have

908	over for reasons unknown by that subsequent generation to which
909	we owe our stelae; or he may be the scribe of the MS., who
910	here commemorates three of his predecessors.
911	If, then, we could arrive at a date for the writing of this
912	MS., we might hazard an approximate date for the foundation
913	of the monastery by Abbot Thomas. Palaeographical considerations
914	alone can help us and these point to the first half of the 7 th century
915	as the probable time of writing(1). Thomas may therefore have
916	lived somewhat before the year ϭⲟⲟ. Fragments of other vellum
917	books found (v. Plate 1) show hands which date from at least
918	the 4th century; but the books brought together in a library
919	may well have been written long before that library was formed.
920	The coins again, found among the ruins, are from the middle
921	and latter part of the 6th century (Justinian to Maurice), some
922	from the latter part of the 7th (early Ommayads); while the
923	name Heraclius, borne by the writer of a letter (1106), recalls
924	the same period. Finally, scraps of Greek-Arabic “protocols”,
925	of 8th century type, and the beginning of an official letter in
926	Arabic from Kurrah b. Sharik (governor AD. 708—714) allow
927	us to suppose the monastery still inhabited in his day (2). Pre-
928	sumably it was laid waste and abandoned during one or other
929	of the subsequent Muslim persecutions.
930	Of what type was the monastic settlement at Wadi Sarga’
931	Was it organized as a coenobium, with common dwellings and
932	central church, refectory etc.; or did the community consist of
933	hermits, inhabiting separate cells and caves and meeting perio-
934	dically at the common church?(3). On this problem the remains

945	of many small houses, clustered upon the N. side of the wadi, offer
946	no conclusive evidence. Who dwelt in them: monks or villagers?
947	Nothing helps us to decide. The words for “cell” chance to
948	occur but rarely (1), nor are their precise meanings yet sufficiently
949	clear to support argument. .
950	We learn however (from Ryl. 124) that the superior of the
951	Rock of Apa Thomas bore the title of archimandrite, a dignity
952	which was used by the abbots of most of the principal mona-
953	steries in Egypt — those of Nitria apparently excepted — and
954	which, in such cases, implied a coenobium and not a laura, or
955	colony of anchorites. The superior is also called “father” (of the
956	monastery), as elsewhere (2); or “the great man” (Ryl. /. ¢.). The
957	archimandrite himself acts as party to a contract (161), or sends
958	orders for provisions required (87), just as the steward does
959	elsewhere (89). The latter is oftenest the author of such docu-
960	ments: he orders deliveries of wine (110, 177, 178), of other
961	victuals (181), the fattening of pigs (probably, r07), the supplying
962	of passing sailors’ needs (104). He pays for wine received (167,
963	168), or gives receipts for delivery (186, 192). Or receipts are
964	issued by the council (ϫ) of the monastery (344) (3). Besides
965	these two officials the prior is sometimes found acting for the
966	community (375, Ryl. 201), in one case with the deuterarius as
967	colleague. From rrr we might assume that a bishop dwelt
968	in this, as occasionally in other monastic communities(4). On the
969	district, 6 miles from Siut, living some in cells, others in caves. (PG. LXXXVII,

973	a whole, Mus. Guim. XVII 32).
974	(2) In cases where the steward (oizovdpog) receives orders from “So-and-so,
975	his father” (95 etc.), we may assume that the abbot is the person thus designated.
976	Whether Enoch, when calling himself “father” (169, 171), is still but steward,
977	may be questioned. Cf. 376, where the writer calls himself the steward’s “son”.

984	other hand, the bishop of Sbeht-Apollinopolis, presumably dio-
985	cesan of our monastery, resided at Sbeht, if we may judge by
986	375. The monks collectively are “the brethren” (103, 190); indi-
987	vidually, the term *ⲡⲩ brother” is, as elsewhere, used where
988	we should say “brother So-and-so’. Those distinguished as
989	anchorites are rare (117).
990	Business relations were maintained with communities of
991	nuns (159, 168, 170, Ryl. 124, perhaps ib. 201), located, we may
992	suppose, close by. Indeed 38 and 65 show that nuns were
993	allowed memorial tablets (in the church?), like the brethren.
994	As to the property of the monastery we learn nothing
995	definite. Among Coptic documents’ from other monastic sites,
996	none are concerned so largely as ours with traffic in wine(1)
997	(v. especially the Receipts, 205 ff.). Of the score or so of places
998	whence wine appears to have been brought, those identifiable
999	which occur oftenest are either in the Hermopolite nome (Thallou,
1000	Phouéu), or north of it (Plebiéw, Tahrouj, Touhd); some in the
1001	latitude of the Fayyim (Hnés-Heracleopolis, Tiloj). Vines and
1002	traffic in wine are often enough the subject of 6th and 7th century
1003	documents from Middle Egypt, but they are very rarely mentioned
1004	in those from the south (2) and it is noticeable that no place south
1005	of Wadi Sarga has been identified among those named in our
1006	texts. From whom the wine was obtained we do. not learn.
1007	In 95 we read of “the camelherds of master Serapion’ and their
1008	accounts (/it. potsherds). Presumably he was a wine grower with
1009	whom’ the monastery dealt. From expressions used in 93, 106,
1010	we might suppose the wine to have been sometimes sent from
1011	the monastery to the cultivated valley, in exchange for fodder.
1012	373 shows that the camelherds were, in some cases at least, monks.
1013	The wine finally reached the monastery by camel, but we hear
1014	(1) Excepting perhaps the Menas shrines, whose ostraca published by DRERUP
1015	(Griech. Ostraka von den Menas-Heiligtiomern, Rom. Quartalschr., 1908, pp. 240

1022	of it occasionally loaded on shipboard for the preliminary vovage
1023	southward (135 and? 133).
1024	Wine in various conditions — perhaps of various qualities —
1025	is mentioned: “old” (91, 303), “new” (186), “pure” (vabagév, 377)
1026	and others of doubtful meaning (186); also one perhaps especially
1027	reserved for the abbot (92,186) (1). No conclusions can be drawn
1028	as to the flocks possibly owned by the monastery from the
1029	reference to shepherds in 106 though the frequent occurrence
1030	of bills for cheese (196 ff.) may be better evidence of this; nor
1031	as to cultivated land from the list of husbandmen in 158, or
1032	the “chief husbandman” (if that be the correct rendering) in 167.
1033	Conspicuously absent from our texts are certain features
1034	familiar in other, similar collections of private documents. No
1035	communications from local magistrates, no disciplinary admo-
1036	nitions from the ecclesiastical authorities, although all the writers
1037	appear to be clergy or monks; the piously worded begging letter,
1038	whereby one hermit recommends the mendicant to the charity
1039	of another, is unrepresented; likewise the empty salutations and
1040	requests for prayers. This state of things may of course be due
1041	to chance destruction, to mere accidents of exploration, or partly
1042	to peculiarities in the situation of the monastery. It may too
1043	be noted that ostraca, as writing material, seem to have been
1044	less in fashion at Wadi Sarga than they were further south;
1045	literary texts, biblical or patristic, are but rarely written upon
1046	them here.” It is remarkable that at neither of the neighbouring
1047	sites, Balaizah or Aphrodito, were any ostraca found; we must
1048	suppose that papyrus was there still easily procurable. Condi-
1049	tions at Wadi Sarga may have been similar.
1050	A few words may be said respecting the idiom in which
1051	our Coptic texts are written. Apart from chance traces of
1052	extraneous dialects (v. 1 and 15), the literary fragments show a
1053	Sa‘idic of exemplary purity (2). The documents likewise (though
1054	(1) In a wine account from Balaizah “the great man's (the abbot’s) table”
1055	is specially provided for.
1056	(2) Perhaps the language of the Joshua Palimpsest (v. above), as coming
1057	from Wadi Sarga, should be here taken into consideration. Cf. THOMPSON's
1058	observations, op. cit. p. IX, and the review above referred to.

1060	not the stelae) use in general a quite correct orthography, the
1061	occasional doubling of ⲛ, or omission of 1 where 2 are required
1062	(e.g. 116, 132, 176, 178, 323), or of the n-genit. (130, 157) and
1063	now and then of the prep. Ⲉ- or a confusion of 8 and ϥ (notably
1064	in 112 €40A, 164 ⲉϥⲟⲧ, 197 etc. ⲓⲣ) being almost the only
1065	characteristics worth recording. The opening formula of the letters
1066	shows indeed a form very commonly found in texts from the
1067	Hermopolite neighbourhood, but not frequent in those from the
1068	district S. of Siut and closer to W. Sarga, namely the prefix
1069	ⲡϥ- (-ne ⲉϥ- in 187). There are a dozen instances of this
1070	as against two only (86, 186) of ⲡⲉⲧ- and three of ⲉϥ- (99,
1071	185, 344). The businesslike character of our documents may
1072	be seen in the unusual dearth of those complimentary phrases
1073	which adorn the letters from other sites. Without exception ours
1074	serve a practical purpose: their writers omit all empty phraseo--
1075	logy (1). The vocabulary in use is generally that of Hermopolis,
1076	i.e. of Middle Egypt; an exception such as MAAXE-pdziov, otherwise
1077	peculiar to the Theban neighbourhood (2), being almost unique.
1078	The only product of the excavations at Wadi Sarga hitherto
1079	published (excepting the stelae from Dair al-Ganadlah; v. below) is
1080	the fresco of Cosmas and Damianus reproduced and fully described
1081	by Mr. Dalton in Journ. Eg. Arch. Ill, 35. Nothing need therefore
1082	be said of it here except to propose a different reading of the
1083	place-name in the text which accompanies the picture. Instead
1084	of ⲧⲥⲏⲟⲩⲓⲟⲧ, Siat, a most unlikely form of that familiar name,
1085	it seems better to read ⲧⲉⲏ(ⲙ)ⲟⲩⲗⲟⲧ Samallt, the town
1086	several times occurring in our texts (v. 239 n.). The reading of
1087	the letters ⲙ and A, though clumsily formed, can hardly be in
1088	doubt. The “three score martyrs” however are brought no nearer
1089	to identification by this revision in the name of their place of
1090	origin or martyrdom.
1091	(1) Perhaps 00, 106 go farthest in this respect. The nature of 709 com-
1092	ports a somewhat less dry style.

1095	III. Greek Papyri. Linguistic and Palaeo-
1096	graphical Notes.
1097	By H. I. Bell.
1098	Though all the papyri discovered on the site were very
1099	fragmentary, those written in Greek were particularly so, and
1100	none of these scraps is worth publishing in full. In this section
1101	are collected, however, the more interesting points, whether
1102	names or noteworthy phrases, found in them. The handwriting
1103	of most of the fragments, and in several cases the character of
1104	the entries, recalling the Aphrodito accounts of P. Lond. IV,
1105	point to a date not earlier than the 7th century for the majority
1106	of the Greek scraps and, more often than not, to the period
1107	after the Arab conquest of Egypt. The hands are generally of
1108	the “minuscule” type seen in the Aphrodito accounts, but in-
1109	stances of the larger, more sloping cursive used in 6th—7th cent.
1110	contracts, and less definitely characteristic of a post-Arabic date,
1111	occur. These fragments, it should be added, are now all mounted
1112	in the Department of MSS., British Museum, with the inventory
1113	number Pap. 2241.
1114	Fragments of account-books in various minuscule hands
1115	are frequent and seem largely to concern taxation, whether in
1116	money or in kind; in one or two cases the purpose of the
1117	requisitions is specified, e. ⲝ. ⲇ ⲧⲥⲩⲙⲃ• (qu. Zamavrg oI Gup-

1142	script. More noteworthy, for their Byzantine official associations,
1143	are ? poiglam/ ⲧⲣⲓⲃⲟⲩⲛ and npmiKip/ (several times).
1144	There are only a few fragments of contracts. One, a scrap
1145	of brown papyrus, in a small upright cursive hand, not likely
1146	to be much, if at all, later than the end of the 6th century,
1147	is from a Zweig (Il. 2—4, THC ⲇⲓⲁⲗⲩⲥⲉⲱⲥ ⲡⲉⲣⲓ ⲧ[ⲉ ⲧ. AO-

1149	Another, a scrap of light-coloured papyrus in a big sprawling
1150	cursive hand with rather thick strokes, of the late 6th or early
1151	7th century, has in 1. 2 the words ] ©AAAO ⲧⲟⲩ ⲉⲣ[ⲙⲟⲡⲟⲗⲓⲧⲟⲩ

1154	ⲥⲡⲁⲣⲟ ⲉⲡⲓ ⲕⲁⲣ B INA. «.[
1155	It will be seen that the Greek fragments contribute ex-
1156	ceedingly little to our knowledge of the monastic settlement,
1157	but they serve, along with the Arabic fragments, to extend its
1158	history into the Arab period. That the fragments of contracts
1159	suggest pre-Arab, and the fragments of accounts Arab, times, is
1160	presumably accidental ; but it may be the case that the settle-
1161	ment was more severely taxed after the conquest than before.
1162	The scripts of the Greek ostraca include several which
1163	are of the “minuscule” type; but this is not of a late cha-
page 46
1164	16 INTRODUCTION.
1165	racter, and the great majority are in uncial hands, with few
1166	or no ligatures. A large number of the receipts are in a single
1167	hand, an upright rounded uncial, extremely neat and regular
1168	and sometimes almost calligraphic (an example on Plate II).
1169	Putting aside the minuscule hands, one would be tempted to
1170	date these ostraca ‘circa 600”; and even when we include the
1171	minuscule script there seems no reason, on palaeographical
1172	grounds, to bring down the lower limit of date much, if at
1173	all, after the Arab conquest. A very similar conclusion is sug-
1174	gested by the Coptic hands. There is a considerable variety of
1175	these, upright and sloping, regular and hasty, smaller and
1176	larger; but for- the most part they seem to fall within com-
1177	paratively narrow limits of time and that time contemporary
1178	with the Greek ostraca. One or two show a thick, heavy upright
1179	uncial hand of liturgical type (Plate II), which might be, but
1180	is not necessarily, later than the rest.
1181	On the whole, and adding the testimony of the coins
1182	found at Wadi Sarga, which range from Justinian to Maurice,
1183	we shall probably not be far wrong in fixing a period from
1184	the latter part of the 6th to about the middle of the 7th century
1185	as the date of these records. The Arabic scrap mentioning
1186	Kurrah and perhaps the Greek accounts on papyrus bring the
1187	lower limit down to the early 8th century. The literarv MSS,
1188	Greek and Coptic, some of which probably date from a period
1189	not later than the 5th century, while one (z7) is probably of
1190	the 4th (v. Plate I), may push back the earlier limit; but
1191	literary MSS., which were often kept for a long period of
1192	time, and which, in this case, may well have been written
1193	elsewhere and brought to the settlement after its foundation,
1194	cannot be used to fix for it a terminus a quo.
1195	That the language of the settlement was Coptic, and that
1196	the majority, perhaps all, of the inhabitants possessed only the
1197	merest smattering of Greek, is established by several pieces of
1198	evidence. Such is the great preponderance of Coptic over Greek
1199	liturgical and theological MSS.; such the use of Coptic, not
1200	Greek, in all the letters and contracts discovered at Wadi Sarga;
1201	such, finally, the character of the documents in which Greek

1206	was employed and the quality of the Greek there found. Greek,
1207	outside of one or two theological MSS. is almost, if not entire-
1208	ly, confined to receipts, accounts and mathematical tables. Greek
1209	was of course the language of mathematics, and alike in the
1210	tables and in the accounts (where the use of Greek in all taxation
1211	accounts, even under the early Arab Governors, would influence
1212	local usage) the knowledge of the language required was of the
1213	slightest; while in the receipts (where again the use of Greek
1214	was probably due to its employment in tax-receipts) the range
1215	of words and phrases which occur is extremely narrow.
1216	Even so, the scribes of these ostraca, not excluding those
1217	who write a good and accomplished hand, show at every turn
1218	how very, limited was their knowledge of Greek. The erratic
1219	spelling (e. 8. Axpicymaxoc, 206; ⲩⲯⲏⲙⲁ , 210; ⲙⲉⲕ] for pu(pd),
1220	248, etc; rama/ for vapgi(ta), 297; ⲥⲓⲁⲕⲟⲥ for Swaristx and TPIANTE
1221	for =ptdzevta in 358; ⲉⲕⲥⲏⲓⲓⲧⲁ ϩⲏⲕⲥ for &Zfuevia €2 and ⲉⲩⲙⲙⲛⲧⲁ
1222	ϩⲉⲓⲓⲛⲉⲁ for &3%spidvsvia émvéa in 372 (1); the regular use of ⲕⲁⲙⲁⲗ]\|
1223	for »apaiizag); the heroic disregard of inflections (e. g. Ⲥⲕⲉⲩⲗ for
1224	ⲥⲭⲉ in 348; ⲕⲱⲓⲓⲥⲧⲁⲓⲓⲧⲓⲟⲥ for -ⲋ︦ in 369) and syntactical
1225	construction; the use of Coptic forms of proper names, like
1226	ϩⲱⲣ, IW2ANNHC, MAKAPE, and of actual Coptic words, like the title
1227	ⲡⲁⲥⲟⲓⲓ ⲟⲅ nepwm (205); and still more, perhaps, the occasional
1228	attempts to inflect Greek words on Coptic principles (see, e. g.,
1229	248, 1, note) — all these phenomena reveal clearly the presence
1230	of writers who, though they had a smattering of Greek, thought
1231	at all times rather in Coptic and possessed, probably, a Greek
1232	vocabulary limited to the most necessary words.
1233	These facts have a wider significance than may at first
1234	appear. It is impossible to study the Greek papyri of the 6th
1235	and 7th centuries without realizing that Greek was rapidly
1236	decaying in Egypt. The position may have been more favourable
1237	in the more cultivated metropoleis, like Oxyrhynchus, and still more
1238	in such centres of Hellenic culture as Ptolemais or Alexandria;
1239	" but elsewhere (e. ⲝ. in the Syene papyri of P. Mon. and P. Lond. V)

1244	it is difficult to find a scribe who could successfully negotiate
1245	a sentence of any length or complexity, while even at Oxy-
1246	rhynchus or Antinoopolis the Greek used not only in letters
1247	but even in contracts was often very incorrect. Add to this the
1248	very large proportion of parties to contracts, even among the
1249	well-to-do, who are described as illiterate (which may sometimes
1250	mean merely that they could not write Greek), the increasing
1251	tendency to make use of Coptic not only in correspondence
1252	and theological literature, but even in legal transactions, and
1253	such facts as the inability of high ecclesiastics like Bishop Abra-
1254	ham of Hermonthis to understand Greek (P. Lond. 77, 69), and
1255	we may reasonably conclude that Greek was maintained in
1256	Egypt during the late Byzantine period largely, if not entirely,
1257	by the authority of the Government and its use as the legal and
1258	administrative language. That factor once removed with the
1259	Arab conquest, its ultimate extinction was assured, though the
1260	necessity which the Arabs felt of maintaining for a time the
1261	old Greek-trained and Greek-writing bureaucracy kept it in a
1262	sort of suspended animation for a century. The Wadi Sarga
1263	ostraca derive, for the Greek papyrologist, much of their interest
1264	from the illustrations which they furnish of the gradual death
1265	of Greek as a living language in the Egyptian ydpa.

1268	By H. I. Bell.
1269	A noticeable feature of these texts, as of others at this date,
1270	is the number of measures, often unfamiliar or difficult to de-
1271	termine, which occur in them; and it seems well to bring these
1272	together in a separate section of the Introduction, though it is
1273	impossible to determine the capacity or the mutual relation of
1274	most of them. Often indeed it seems probable that the terms
1275	used refer not to ideal, standard, quantities, but to concrete
1276	vessels; so that the juxtaposition of various measures does not
1277	furnish a basis for relating them to one another. Thus, in 320, 2
1278	we get ϥⲟ ⲙ︦ placed before 14 psydha,.an order which could
1279	hardly have been adopted had the pwgév been a quotient of the
1280	ⲕⲉⲩⲁ and hence, when we find, e. g., in 294, 48 peyira followed
1281	by 34 ⲣϫ we cannot conclude that the ⲩ contained more
1282	than 34 pwgd, as, in the case of coins, we could infer from. the
1283	sum vopispaza = vsgdasiz ⲗⲩ that the solidus contained over 23 ca-
1284	rats. This conclusion seems to hold good even of the accounts,
1285	22 and following, which at first sight might appear to furnish
1286	data for determining the mutual relations of the Zgyev, ¢sed, and
1287	widizy. So at least we may infer from the numbers which occur.
1288	Thus, in 122, 1 we get 717 cnidia following 65 of another measure,
1289	probably phorai, and it seems quite unlikely that the next highest
1290	measure to the cnidion contained over 717 of the latter. In 122,
1291	14, 17, again, we get 46 phorai and in 123, 13 even 334 phorai;
1292	and since the phorai in these accounts are frequently preceded
1293	by Zgy2, which, from their position, might be expected to be the
1294	next measure, this should mean that the *ⲩϩ contained over
1295	"334 phorai, a most improbable supposition.
1296	It is in fact probable, as stated, that in most, perhaps all,
1297	cases it is not ideal quantities but concrete vessels with which’
1298	we are dealing; and if that is so there is no sure ground for

1322	out in the introduction to 203, it is in these texts and apparently
1323	elsewhere frequently used along with artabae of corn in a way
1324	suggesting that ⲓ faiiicy = 2 artabae, though there are diffi-
1325	culties in this view. Ⲙ is well therefore to collect the in-
1326	stances in the present volume: — In 189, where the Coptic
1327	invoice has “24 sacks (ϭⲟⲟⲩⲏⲉ) of corn”, the Greek recapitu-
1328	lation has Ⲑcⲗⲗic «2, thus showing that in this case at all events
1329	0xhhicy == 600y1G. Now in 187 we have *36 sacks (600yncC)
1330	of corn, making a total of four score and five artabae”, with
1331	Greek recapitulation, [ⲩ Ⲑⲁⲗ]] As: ¢1f ⲁⲣ ne. Here there-
1332	fore 36 thallia = 85 artabae, giving the equation 1 thallion =
1333	(approximately) 27/, artabae. In ⲓⲟ the text gives the sum
1334	of 148 artabae of corn, while below, after a space, occurs
1335	the amount ©AAA/ sn. If the last entry is a recapitulation,
1336	the ratio ⲓ thallion = 2 artabae again breaks down; but this
1337	is not certain. In 200 we have 32 thallia of dates. In 205—
1338	208 we have receipts with the formula 0ari(iz) x si(zcv)
1339	(4g=43«) 3; and here the ratio is throughout ⲓ thallion =

1340	INTRODUCTION. 21
1341	2 artabae. In 306 we have 41 thallia of dates, in 316 22
1342	of the same, in 340 26 of an article the name of which is
1343	lost, in 360 6ar(nia) 1 with no article preceding (the article
1344	from the second place named is 18 artabae of corn), in 361
1345	ⲓⲟ thallia of an unspecified article, following yapii(:a) 6, per-
1346	haps implying that ⲓⲟ thallia = g camel-loads, in 362
1347	10 thallia following a lost number of camel-loads, in 365

1351	370 12 thallia of vegetable seed, followed by a statement
1352	which appears to mean that ⲑ thallia = 6 camel-loads.
1353	We may probably conclude that Ⲑⲍⲗⲗic properly means
1354	a basket or sack (the ⲝⲗ appears to have been originally
1355	a basket made of palm leaves; DucaNGk, s. ». fda) (1), which
1356	might be of various sizes, at least when used for corn, but
1357	that a standard size containing 2 artabae was so common
1358	that Ⲟϫⲗⲗic came eventually to be a definite measure of
1359	capacity. In these ostraca it is used sometimes in this latter
1360	sense, sometimes as = sack or basket, always as a dry measure.
1361	The form found in Coptic texts is usually ©AAAIC or ©AAIC,
1362	but the Greek appears to be 6aiiicy or (in popular usage)
1363	ⲃϫⲗⲗii ⲗ) hence we have adopted in the translations
1364	the forms thallion, thallia.

1366	(362, 2). For the full form see 370, 5, 6, which shows that
1367	we should throughout read not =zaughs:, but vaphina; cf. 211,
1368	6, kam/ en, where the neuter numeral points in the same
1369	direction. The sense is virtually ‘“camel-load”, and so, for
1370	convenience, we have translated the word, but probably the
1371	actual meaning is throughout simply “camel” (cf. 129). There
1372	is no evidence that zapufitcy was used as a conventional measure;
1373	the reference is always to the concrete load; but doubtless
1374	_this would in practice tend to contain a fairly uniform

1380	quantity, and these ostraca contain some data on the point.
1381	Thus, in 211, 24 cnidia are apparently one napisy; in 361,
1382	3 the meaning is perhaps (but this is doubtful) that ro thallia
1383	= g zapina (in 362, where the same phrase recurs, the
1384	number of zapfna is lost); and in 370 we apparently have
1385	4 rapfix ⲓⲟ 100 cnidia, which agrees very well with 2r1,
1386	and 6 rapiriz to ⲑ thallia of vegetable seed (cf. 361 above). In
1387	PREISIGKE, S.-B. 1981, we should probably read (zgd<ng) 722(3:)
1388	rapt h(t) ϩⲧ ez ⲩϩ 3(ée323) £5, which gives 20 xestae to the
1389	load. If WESSELY is correct (as he seems to be; see under ⲗⲁϩⲏ
1390	below) in reckoning the wviZisv as ==*‘ca. 5 Xestes” (Stzsb. Wien.
1391	Akad. CXLIX, 5 p. 28; see WiLckEN, Grdzge., LXXII?), that
1392	would give only 4 cnidia to the load, which does not at all
1393	accord with 2rr. In PSI. IV 307, 4—8 we’ have the number
1394	of camel-loads followed by the amount of wine in dvyy(six);
1395	but only in 1. 4 are both numerals preserved, viz. 3 loads
1396	to 48 ayystz. (In 1. ⲑ ⲕⲁⲙⲏⲗ is not followed by a numeral
1397	and ought perhaps to be extended zapni(izsv)).

1401	is the only substance for which it is used in the present
1402	collection. In 126 we have big and little cnidia, and pupa

1433	190g, p. 19, is used to mean a place where corn is stored;
1434	but there may be a connexion with ⲩϩ, for harvey is
1435	regularly a wine measure; see go, 136 (probably wine), 213,
1436	216, 347; cf. WEsseLy, Studien, XX, 196, 3. In go-it follows
1437	22¢4 (“2 ph., 12 L. of old wine”). In 136 it is associated with
1438	, #8000, small »¢23.a0ev, and hots; in 213 with peydra
1439	and pvgd (so too 2106); in 343 with #viSiev and zstz; in 347
1440	with wviZiey, peyara and pga. On occasion it is not impos-
1441	sible it may == péya; see 216, 5 n.
1442	ⲗⲁⲕⲟⲟⲧⲉ. See 164, note, where it is pointed out (from B. M.
1443	1064) that it = wifisv (see also under ⲗⲁϩⲏ below). It is a
1444	measure of wine, specially associated with Middle Egypt.
1445	ⲗⲁϩⲏ or ⲗⲁⲏ. Usually a wine measure, but in 57 used for
1446	pickle; “fill 2 lahé with pickle and give 5 aestes of pickle
1447	to the lahé, that is 10 xestes.” A lahé then contains 5 xestac,
1448	which, according to WESSELY (see above, under zviZ:wv), is
1449	the capacity of the uvificv. KraiLL (see CCXXXIV) shows
1450	ⲗⲁϩⲏ = wifey; 87 thus confirms this, and suggests that
1451	AAROOTE, also used as equivalent to zviZiwcy, is either identical
1452	with ⲗⲁϩⲏ or at times confused with it. The explanation
1453	of such confusions may perhaps lie in the existence of large
1454	and small measures of various kinds, as with the »vigicy
1455	(above) and ⲗⲁϩⲏ. In 167 we have small ⲗⲁϩⲏ (IKOYT ⲡ̄ⲁⲁϩⲏ),
1456	rendered in Greek by pz(z4); so too in 168, 169 and 171;

1482	HexGsTENBERG, Kopt. Papyri (Miinchen, J. Rosenthal, 1914),
1483	I, 2, 3. In 167 it corresponds to ⲙ̄ⲫⲟⲣⲏⲥ in the Coptic;
1484	so too 171. In 173, on the contrary, the Greek recapitu-
1485	lation has ⲫⲟⲣ and in 123, 10, 12, 13 ⲙⲉ, which must stand
1486	for peydnz, follows g(cpd); in Ⲓ. 12 it is followed by cifna/,
1487	which in 1 14 is followed by #vi3(tx), itself in 1l. 15 and 16

1520	times as a wine measure, along with phora and cnidion,
1521	regularly coming first; the highest number is 74 (123, 16),
1522	and the highest number of phorai following org. is 10
1523	(122, 4; in 122, 11, etc., where Zgy. does not occur, we get

1534	in question, but in the other cases the word is used as if
1535	it were a definite measure. Probably the reference is to
1536	concrete vessels, but there may have been standard sizes.
1537	A ⲙⲍ) ox(s3e5) probably occurs in 156.
1538	®sg(4). In the Coptic texts written ⲫⲟⲣⲟⲥ (89, 8; 0, 2
1539	173, 4), Ⲫⲫⲟⲣⲏⲥ (92, 10; 167, 7; 171, 3; 172, 5; 176, 1), or
1540	ⲫⲟⲣⲉⲥ (186, 6, 8); in the Greek always abbreviated, ⲫ or
1541	ⲫⲟⲣ. Despite the endings oc, Hc, or €c, it seems preferable
1542	to connect the word with ϩϩϩⲝ︦ it may have meant origi-
1543	nally “load” and then come to denote a definite measure.
1544	This is supported by the fact that in go ⲫⲟⲣⲟⲥ and in 9
1545	ⲫⲟⲣⲏⲥ are feminine. In KraLL V, 15 we get ry $op/ Aan

1548	measure, gives us the capacity, viz. 25 litrae. In 186, where

1551	INTRODUCTION.
1552	we have 21 ph. of “sorouton wine’ and ⲓⲟ of new wine, the
1553	writer adds: “and add ⲓⲟ xestes of ... wine to each one”;
1554	so that the gz¢d presumably was larger than ⲓⲟ xestae. The
1555	ⲝ contained ⲓ litrae (P. Lond. V, p. 156). As stated
1556	above (s. v. péva), in 167 and 171 ⲫⲟⲣⲏⲥ = péva, but in
1557	123, 10, 12, 13, 2 £4) is mentioned along with pi(vz). In
1558	the accounts r2z—1z25 we find it along with the Zzvev, the
1559	wifey, and (exceptionally) the ⲙϫ and the si=iolv; it regu-
1560	larly comes after ⲩⲩ and before »vi2icv; the highest number
1561	of e¢zpai, where ϫ precede, is 10 (122, 4), where ϩⲩ do
1562	not occur, 46 (r22, 11, etc.), or, in 123, 13, even 334. In
1563	121 ¢spai alone are used; the highest number is.30. Else-
1564	where we find the sega associated with the lakon (go, 2 ph.,
1565	12 1), the small lahé (167, 12 I, 8 ph; 171, 3 ph., 15 1;
1566	172, Ⲣl 12 1; 173, 1 ph. ⲓ I), the cnidion (329, 73 cnid.,
1567	12 ph.), the czziz;, the ⲙ, and the ⲕϫ (346, 15 ov,
1568	16 ⲏ.. 62 9., 1 ⲓϫ.) the orgon (350, 20 0., 1 ph.), and the
1569	creUes alone (351, 24 ox, 4 ph). In ⲓⲟ we perhaps find
1570	24 phorai “in ⲑ jars (nazz).
1571	We may probably conclude that gsgd is normally, but
1572	not always, equivalent to the péya (cf. too 216, where ⲇ
1573	perhaps = ‘hdzzev); and in that case the péya can perhaps
1574	not be identified with the ⲙⲉⲩ =vi2izv, as wifey regularly
1575	occurs along with the ϩ22. and once 12 12) with the
1576	ⲡϩ and the péya. Probably, however, in these cases, the
1577	prgey 7vi3tey is meant; and it may be inferred that zviicy
1578	alone is to be taken as == puzpiv wviliv.
1579	The ¢oz4, in these texts, is always used for wine, except
1580	in 2, where it is used for salt fish and vinegar.
1581	ϩⲟⲧ. See Cruy, C. 0. 348. Chiefly a wine measure; 91, 106,
1582	162, 179, 344; in 136 among vessels associated with wine.
1583	In 186 for vinegar and pickle, in 198 for cheese; in 177 the
1584	article is uncertain. In Ryl. Copt. 347 for beans. In C. O. 348,
1585	note, for vinegar and salt. In gr the word is used not as
1586	a measure but of a vessel (“fill . .. their hots with old wine”).
1587	In 106 we have “2 small hots”, in 198 “a large hots”.

1589	FRAGMENTS
1590	OF LITERARY MANUSCRIPTS.
1591	The excavations produced, from various points in the
1592	site; a large number of -remnants of papyrus and parchment
1593	manuscripts of all sorts. Unfortunately, with few exceptions,
1594	they are now but the minutest of scraps and only those in which
1595	anything of interest was to be discerned are noticed here. The
1596	total of parchment fragments was considerable and represents
1597	some 25 volumes, perhaps from the monastic library, perhaps
1598	partly from the abodes of private owners. The dates of the
1599	various hands may range from the early 5th to the early 7th cen-
1600	turies. The Coptic fragments are all now in the Oriental De-
1601	partment of the British Museum, under the inventory number
1602	Or. MS. go3s.
1603	Biblical.
1604	1. Job. (Coptic.)
1605	A narrow strip, cut from a double leaf and showing parts
1606	of some verses of Job (XXX 8, g; 17, 18), written in a 5th cent.
1607	uncial. These few words are of considerable importance: they
1608	testify to a distinct FayyGmic version of the book and moreover
1609	to that variety of the dialect, hitherto extant in only one speci-
1610	men (1), which used the verbal prefix ϩⲁ ϩⲁⲕ- etc., instead of
1611	ⲁ- Ⲁⲕ-. Here is the text of the larger part:

1628	2. Psalms. (Coptic.)
1629	A complete leaf of fine parchment, 14 X 11°5 cm., shows
1630	Psalms LI g to LIII title, in one column of 1g lines. The hand
1631	is rather heavy, resembling in type that of Cod. Bezae (6th cent.).
1632	The few variants from BuDGE's text are unimportant, except for
1633	kacce (LII 5), in place of ⲕⲉⲉⲥ : a strange plural, unparalleled
1634	in other dialects(2). The title of Ps. LIII agrees with the MSS.
1635	ⲟ LAGARDE and WESSELY, as against those of Bunce and WoRRELL.
1636	3. Isaiah. (Coptic.)
1637	The last fragment from the Old Testament is a small leaf
1638	whereon verses from the beginning of Isaiah 1.XVI are legible.
1639	The hand is of the rounded, “Coptic” type.
1640	4. St. John. (Coptic.)
1641	The New Testament claims the most extensive of all the
1642	fragments: 11 more or less complete leaves, each 14X12 cm.
1643	paged [ⲋ︦] to ⲓⲉ︦ and Xr, XA. They show John I ϩⲟ to III 2,
1644	IV 39 to 47, written in two columns of 1g—21 lines each. The
1645	hand is an uneven uncial, with a mixture of square and round-
1646	ed forms (in A, Ⲁ. ⲙ Y) and probably of the 6th century, v. PL. L.
1647	The following are the variants from ⲎⲟⲞⲕⲛⲃⲕs text: — I 26
1648	(1) The semi-Achm. Elias Apoc. ⲣ. 128 writes ⲣⲱⲭϩ, while Deut. VII 23
1649	(Buber), Sir. XXVIII 23 show ⲣⲟⲭⲟⲩ, as do Achm. texts often.
1650	(2) The MS. reads ⲭⲉⲣⲉ ⲓⲓⲕⲁⲉⲥⲉ °[ JBOA. Elsewhere the punctuation
1651	is normal, so that KACC ⲉ ⲟⲗ would be improbable.

1665	Coptic than in Greek the verse is here printed in Coptic type.
1666	The Greek, correctly written, is ⲗϫ <% fuépa =F spisn ydpog dyéveto
1667	iv Kavi <i Tanhalag, wat Tv 4 phng 20 'Tnecd vst. The placing of
1668	ⲗⲉ immediately after Ϥ︦ may be due to the accidental omission
1669	of +... Inse5 or be a textual variant (not noted by vox Sopex).
1670	Of course, even in the latter case, this ostracon cannot be treated
1671	as a textual authority.

1676	6. St. John. (Coptic.)
1677	A small fragment of the same Gospel, XX 31 to XXI 2,
1678	is written in 2 columns of a rounded hand, much like the
1679	“Coptic” hand of the Freer Psalter. Variants from Horxgr are:

1681	7. St. John. (Coptic.)
1682	Yet another MS. of 4 broken leaves gives us XXI 7 to
1683	‘the end of this Gospel. The text is palimpsest, the earlier
1684	writing, legible on the last page, showing ch. [ 31—33 of the
1685	same Gospel. The script is a small, square uncial, entirely
1686	without superlineation and probably of the 6th century. Its

1691	line; then ⲡⲉⲩ[ⲁⲅⲅⲉⲗⲓⲟⲛ etc. The verso of the last leaf is blank.
1692	8. Acts. (Coptic.)
1693	The scribe of the last MS. undoubtedly wrote also a copy
1694	of Acts, whereof we have the last leaf, with XXVIII 26 to the
1695	end. But the dimensions of the two MSS. differ so undeniably
1696	(width here ⲑ cm., there 11 cm., with consequent divergence
1697	in the relative situation of the columns), that it is doubtful
1698	whether the two fragments can be from the same volume. The
1699	leaf is palimpsest, the legible older text being John I 31 to 33.
1700	The following are the variants from Bupce’s print(1): — 26
1701	ⲙⲅϯϫⲟⲟⲥ ⲛⲛⲁϩⲣⲙⲡⲉⲓⲗⲁⲟⲥ ϫⲉ-. 31 ⲡⲁⲣⲣⲏⲥⲓⲁ tue. Subscr. nenp.
1702	ⲛⲙⲉⲙⲉⲓⲟⲧⲉ HAT.
1703	ⲫ. I Corinthians. (Greek.)
1704	Brit. Mus. Pap. 2240. Of this vellum MS. only a few frag-
1705	ments remain, all of them for the most part discoloured and
1706	shrivelled, so that only comparatively few letters retain their
1707	original size and clearness. Fortunately most of the fragments
1708	can be identified as coming from two leaves, which contain,
1709	the first, part of chap. 12 (with, probably, the end of 11), the
1710	second, part of chap. 14. Leaf 1 in its present state is made up
1711	of five fragments, leaf 2 of two. Each page contains two columns,
1712	so that there are four to each leaf. The vellum being so much
1713	shrivelled, it is impossible to state the exact original dimensions
1714	of the leaves, neither of which, moreover, is quite complete; but
1715	they may be stated roughly as probably about 15X15 cm. The
1716	average width of the column seems to have been about 4 cm.
1717	or a little more.
1718	The hand is a good regular upright uncial of medium size,
1719	with distinction of light and heavy strokes; the individual letters,
1720	when not distorted by the shrivelling of the vellum, are well
1721	(1) Coptic Bibl. Texts p. 269.

1722	TEXTS. 33
1723	formed, and of fairly uniform size, except at the ends of lines,
1724	where they are not infrequently smaller than the average in
1725	order to fit them into the line, though even so the ends of lines
1726	are not very well aligned. There are no accents; the high or
1727	middle point occurs two or three times. The hand is not likely
1728	to be later than the 5th century but on the other hand seems
1729	later than the Vaticanus and the Sinaiticus, regularly assigned
1730	to the 4th. Probably the MS. may be assigned with some con-
1731	fidence to the 5th century. The number at the top of fragm.
1732	2a is by a different hand, and may well be later.
1733	The number just referred to is that of the folio or page,
1734	or perhaps even the quire, but it is not easy to determine which.
1735	If it refers to the page we should expect a number to occur
1736	on each page, though this is not essential; but as a matter of
1737	fact there are no certain traces of ink at the top of any of the
1738	other pages. Were it certain that no number occurred on either
1739	side of fragm. ⲓ we might perhaps conclude that ⲣⲙⲍ is the
1740	number of the quire; but this would indicate a very long MS.,
1741	which is not specially likely in view of the size of the page,
1742	and the vellum is so much damaged that it is really impossible
1743	to say whether other numbers did or did not occur. In any case
1744	the number affords some indication as to the nature of the codex.
1745	Fragm. 2 contained roughly ten verses of chapter 14. Up to
1746	and including XIV 18 there are 333 verses in the Epistle. If we
1747	take (as we fairly may do) this leaf as more or less representative
1748	of all and verses 19—28 as of more or less average length, this
1749	means that about 33 leaves are required for the preceding portion
1750	of the Epistle. Clearly then, even if we take ⲣⲙϫ as the number
1751	only of the page a good deal more then I Cor. must have been
1752	contained in the codex. It may be added that p seems certain,
1753	so that though mz are not beyond doubt no alternative reading
1754	of these two letters would affect this conclusion.
1755	The character of the MS. is fairly good. The orthography
1756	-is marred by the common confusion of 1: ⲉⲓ and ⲉ : a, but
1757	mere blunders are not common. Such are probably cymdopon
1758	for ⲥⲩⲙⲫⲉⲣⲟⲛ in 38 f. (though this may be a genuine, unrecorded,
1759	variant), rinncec in lL 8g, and © ⲓ in I. 98 perhaps too ⲡⲣⲟ‐

1762	necwn in 1. 124 f., but more probably that reading, if correct
1763	(see note), is a genuine variant, as to turn ⲡⲉⲥⲱⲛⲓⲉⲡⲓⲡⲣⲟⲥⲱⲡⲟⲛ
1764	(or ⲉⲡⲓⲡⲣⲟⲥⲱⲡⲟⲛⲡⲉⲥⲱⲓⲓ ?) into nponecwti requires greater careless-
1765	ness than this scribe normally shows, unless indeed unusually
1766	narrow columns be supposed in his archetype: —

1768	ⲥⲱⲡⲟⲛ
1769	ⲡⲉⲥⲱⲓⲓ
1770	As is usually the case with the papyrus or vellum MSS.
1771	found in Egypt, the text is of a somewhat eclectic character.
1772	The collation here given is with the text of (vox) S(opEx), whose
1773	symbols, though not yet generally adopted, are therefore used.
1774	It may be explained that K stands for the xz, or Antiochene
1775	recension, Ⲙ̄ for the Egyptian recension (Hesychius), and [ for
1776	the Palestinian recension (Pamphilus-Eusebius, at Jerusalem).
1777	The types of the last-named are distinguished as a, & and c,
1778	subdivided by numbers, 1, 2, 3. B appears as 21, x as 22,
1779	and A as 24. For the other numbers reference must be made to
1780	VON SODEN.
1781	In one or two cases (Il. 49, 127 f.) our text agrees with
1782	K against H and many of Ⲓ but its general affinities are neither
1783	with K nor with AH, but with /, and in particular with Jo.
1784	It fairly often agrees with 1026 (D, Claromontanus) and 1028
1785	(G, Dresden, Kgl. Bibl. A. 145b), but at other times differs from
1786	them. On the whole, however, it may be reckoned as approaching
1787	most nearly to vox Sopex’s type 12. Genuine variants not re-
1788	corded in S. are ll. 54 (ⲧⲱⲛ nueymaTwn?), 8g (ⲅⲓⲙⲏⲥⲑe, but see
1789	above), 98 (A10), 115 (uncertain); and perhaps 38 f. (cympopon)
1790	and r24 f. (ⲡⲣⲟⲡⲉⲥⲱⲛ) but it will be seen that -none of these
1791	is absolutely certain.

1988	33—36. A very perplexing passage. The readings in
1989	Il. 34—36, though doubtful in details (see below), are fairly
1990	certain as a whole; hence in Ⲓ 33 we ought to have ⲟ ⲇⲉ ⲁⲩⲧⲟⲥ
1991	oc; but ⲕⲓ is practically certain, and ⲕⲁⲓ ⲟ ⲁⲩⲧⲟⲥ oc seems
1992	ruled out by the almost equally clear Ta.
1993	34. ⲉⲥⲧⲓⲛ: or CCT; the ⲓⲓ is excessively doubtful, but

1998	ful, and itis not certain that any letters occur after the lacuna;
1999	but in Il. 37, 38 the letters at the end are very faint, and
2000	traces are probably to be recognized here.
2001	38f. cymdopon: S. cupzizev. cymdopon, which is not re-
2002	corded by S., is probably a scribal error rather than a genuine

2008	they were very much cramped, and it may be suspected that
2009	ⲭⲁⲣⲓⲥⲙ[ⲁ] (so too Mz it vg) was the actual reading here. It
2010	may be added that the dotted letters are all very indistinct,

2050	insufficient for re and rather too large to suppose that ⲧⲉⲗⲓⲟⲓ re]
2051	came in Ⲓ 88; hence we may perhaps read ⲅⲓ, and the whole

2064	ment containing, in col. 1, the number ⲣⲙⲍ and, in col. 2,
2065	1l. -ⲃ︦, is detached from the rest, it is not possible to say
2066	for certain that that was not the reading here; but oya ⲟⲩ
2067	would certainly have made Ⲓ 5 project into the margin, and
2068	ⲧⲱⲥ in Ⲓ 6 would indicate a lacuna difficult to fill in lL 97,
2069	since ⲧⲁ would be too short and conta (no other division is
2070	likely) too long. For ⲟⲩⲇⲉⲡⲱ S. quotes I! 1028((se0, The same
2071	authorities, with 03%, read ⲉⲓⲥⲗⲕⲟⲩⲥⲉⲧⲇⲓ, and in 1. 97 cera, as
2072	against ⲧⲱⲥ in Ⲓ 6, would be more manageable than coura,

2074	98. Very puzzling. S., who has ⲗⲩ zigioc. dots al ⲗⲱϫ.
2075	quotes no variants to either reading; so that the text here given
2076	involves two unrecorded variants, one of them an obvious
2077	blunder, but it seems difficult to escape from it, as all the
2078	letters ⲓ︦ⲥ︦ ⲓ are practically certain; KC does not seem possible.
2079	ⲇⲓⲟ, though not recorded, is an easy variant; ⲟ ic might arise
2080	from the scribe’s misunderstanding an abbreviated gloss giving
2081	a reference to HC(AIAC),
2082	103. The traces read ⲉⲓ are very faint; of the ⲁ at the
2083	end very little remains. Between it and o there is a piece of
2084	vellum, but the traces which are visible are too indistinct for
2085	any reading. Several of the readings of individual letters in
2086	1. 104 and ⲓⲟ are doubtful, but the text seems established.

2088	106. oyu: the letters are not perfectly clear, but o seems

2091	ⲥⲩⲡⲉⲓⲥⲉⲗⲟⲛ.

2101	115. It does not seem possible that room can be found in
2102	the lacuna for ⲧⲉⲩⲱⲥⲛⲏⲥ. Probably there was an accidental
2103	omission or a false reading (e. ⲝ. ⲡⲣⲟⲫⲙⲧⲁⲓ ). Even ⲧⲓⲥ amc in
2104	l. 116 is a good deal for the space, and possibly TiC was omitted,
2105	with H348.Qg1: ⲓ. Lg i
2106	118. The ⲉ is just above the ⲡ at the beginning of I. 11g.
2107	Perhaps therefore the apparent A is not really a letter, and we
2108	should read [Thc] ⲉ[ⲗⲉⲅⲭⲉⲧⲁ]ⲓ.
2109	121. So S. The K text inserts ⲕⲁⲓ ⲟⲩⲧⲱⲥ before Ta.
2110	122. The vellum is much blackened at the beginning of
2111	this and the following lines, and the dotted ⲓⲓ and ⲕ are very
2112	indistinct, as are ⲫⲁⲛⲉ in 1. 123.
2113	124—126. Very difficult. Considerations of space seem to
2114	make it certain that the text of S. (which, apart from unimpor-
2115	tant variants, is well established) cannot be found here, and
2116	we must suppose either a real variant not met with elsewhere
2117	or a mere blunder. The reading given, if established, may be
2118	the latter, but =gemzadw for weedy ml mpéswwev is quite possible,
2119	and a real variant seems more likely. It cannot indeed be re-
2120	garded as certain but seems the likeliest. ⲕⲁⲓ is very indistinct
2121	but quite possible, ⲟ probable. At the end of 1. 124 ⲣⲟ can be
2122	accepted with some confidence, and cn are not difficult to read.
2123	of .... Jc suggests o[yTw]c, ⲱ being a broad letter. In I. 125
2124	nec is likelier than ⲡⲟⲛ; and though ⲡⲣⲟ[ⲥϣ] might be read
2125	in 1. 124 if we suppose the vellum to have been rubbed as well
2126	as discoloured, this is not very satisfactory; nor does it seem
2127	possible to read kal ¢[m nplocw; the ⲣ is almost certain.
2128	127—8. The readings at the end of 127 are very doubt-
2129	ful, and at the beginning of 128, though the vellum is whole,
2130	the traces are too much obliterated for any reading, but as
2131	onTtw[c] seems certain, the above text, that of Ⲕ, is established.
2132	129. oY: the stroke (for n) is not certain, but ⲓⲓ was cer-
2133	tainly not written at the beginning of 1. 130.
2134	132. K adds ⲩⲙⲱⲓⲓ after ⲉⲕⲁⲥⲅⲟⲥ.

2183	1 Peter lI, 20, 21.
2184	This passage is not preserved elsewhere, but the last
2185	phrase is quoted by Shenoute (1). Its only remarkable reading

2187	12. Revelation. (Greek.)
2188	In Brit. Mus. Pap. 2241. A small scrap of light-coloured
2189	papyrus contains a portion of Rew. 2. 12—13 and 15. 8—16. 2,
2190	in two rough, inelegant, sloping hands, probably of the 7th
2191	century. That the hands of recto and verso are different seems
2192	certain. Since, though the lines were certainly long, it is hardly
2193	possible. that the two sides of a single sheet can have contained
2194	respectively chapters 2 and 15 if the text was continuous, we
2195	must conclude that the MS. contained extracts only; perhaps
2196	a lectionary or other liturgical work. This is supported by the
2197	fact that the writing on the verso is the opposite way up from
2198	that on the recto, which suggests that the fragment is from a
2199	roll rather than a codex; the roll form was specially favoured
2200	for liturgical purposes. Too little remains for the fragments to
2201	possess much textual value. So far as can be judged from the
2202	scanty relics, the text appears to agree with H rather than Ⲕ or /
2203	(for these and other symbols see 9, introd.), but as this conclusion
2204	is inferred from considerations of space, not got directly from
2205	the extant portions, it cannot be regarded with great confidence.

2245	must be reduced to 57 or 58 and to 66 or 67 respectively.
2246	The average may probably be fixed therefore (if we disregard
2247	1. 8) at about 65—66. To omit ⲉⲕ ⲧⲟⲩ ⲛⲁⲟⲩ would reduce the

2292	semi-biblical phrases. At the end of each section was a title(?),
2293	in the form of subscription, now quite illegible. The verso (?)

2323	cially certain Greek hands of the 3rd—4th cent. (3). V. PL I. The
2324	text is presumably homiletic, its subject being the first Passover
2325	and the Exodus (4). The occurrence of the words pyssigiov and

2574	The five following ostraca contain tables of fractions si-
2575	milar to those which occur in the Akhmim mathematical papyrus
2576	(Mém. Miss. Arch. Francaise, 1X, 1892), ff. 1 —2b, and in B. M.
2577	528. Tables of this kind are discussed, and translations given
2578	of two other examples, in SetHE, Von Zahlen und Zahlhworten
2579	bei den alten Agyptern (Schr. d. Wiss. Ges. in Strafburg,
2580	25. Heft), 1916, pp. 6g—72, to which reference may be made;
2581	and a papyrus brought from Egypt in the winter of 192: and
2582	now in the University of Michigan contains an elaborate collec-
2583	tion of such tables, the utility, indeed necessity, of which, given
2584	the Graeco-Egyptian system of fractions, is obvious. The present
2585	ostraca were probably used by the monastic accountants as ready
2586	reckoners. }
2587	The occurrence, certainly in 26 and possibly in the others,
2588	of a mysterious heading which occurs in the tables of the
2589	Akhmim papyrus suggests that the present ostraca were copied
2590	from a similar or perhaps the same compilation as that papyrus.
2591	We are indebted to a late colleague at the War Office,
2592	Mrs. Davey, for some help in connexion with these documents.

2684	The inscriptions here selected, as the more legible and
2685	interesting, from Mr. CampBELL THOMPSON'S note-books (1), were
2686	copied by him in the church, the houses and the caves of
2687	Wadi Sarga. The stelae present the usual problem: are they
2688	true grave-stones, or merely commemorative tablets(2)? Their
2689	texts would sometimes be appropriate to either purpose, e. g.
2690	where date of death is recorded. Mr. CamypBerLL THoMPsON
2691	however found them in various chambers on the hillside, quite
2692	apart from the cemetery; hence they cannot be regarded as
2693	grave stones.
2694	The present arrangement places he stelae first, the fres-
2695	coed graffiti afterwards. The two initial invocatory phrases,
2696	(1) Such texts are notoriously difficult to copy and my interpretation of
2697	* the copies is often far from satisfactory.
2698	(2) Cf. QuiBeLL, Saggara (1912), p.8. W. bE Bock, Matériaux, p. 78,
2699	found stelae built into a church wall. In general no note appears to have been
2700	kept by excavators as to the positions in which such stelae were found; and
2701	-subsequent cataloguers have had therefore to leave this point untouched.

2702	58 : TEXTS.
2703	found in both groups, where the beginnings of the texts are
2704	preserved, are: “Father, Son and Holy Ghost. .” and “Good
2705	God, ...”. Upon the stelae from the monastery of Saqqara
2706	the first of these formula is very common, while the latter is
2707	rarely found (1); it is never employed at Wadi Sarga. After
2708	the stelae have been classed those of the graffiti which simi-
2709	larly invoke saints and commemorate names — the living, it
2710	would seem, where no date of death is given. The length of
2711	the text depends upon the number of the names invoked: first
2712	the Trinity, angels, biblical patriarchs, prophets and saints, the
2713	apostles and martyrs; then the three ‘great men”, Apollo,
2714	Anoup and Phib(2), who had become throughout Middle Egypt
2715	the principal figures of monastic tradition (3); and finally the
2716	series of local worthies treated of in our Introduction. The pre-
2717	sence and absence of these groups, their combination and se-
2718	quence vary, as do those of the elements in each group, ac-
2719	cording to the predilections of dedicators and the accuracy of
2720	sculptors. Among the saints and martyrs invoked it is rarely
2721	possible to identify any but the most conspicuous. Presumably
2722	the rest are local heroes, unknown to the Calendar, in its
2723	extant forms at least.
2724	Following these venerated names, on both stelae and
2725	graffiti, are those of the departed, on whose behalf the holy
2726	men have been petitioned. Often the date of death is given
2727	(though usually the month only), so that the name which is
2728	that of the deceased is not in doubt(4). But often other names,
2729	without dates (5), follow this and we are left to speculate who
2730	(1) E. g. nos. 102, 206, 283, ⲥ.
2731	(2) May we call them Horus, Anubis and Thoth? They are invoked by
2732	visitors to the Oases: Bock, Matériaux, p. 38.
2733	(3) Pachom and Shenoute, with their respective successors, appear never
2734	to have attained (or? retained) a popularity comparable with this. The former
2735	is invoked, Hall p. 132, the latter, Alexandria Mus. no. 203. Or it may be that
2736	excavation has yet to bring to light the epitaphs from sites where these great
2737	abbots were in special veneration.
2738	(4) In 25 there are 2 deceased, both with their dates. In Saggara there
2739	are often several, e. g. nos. 27, 30, 222, 247.
2740	(5) Occasionally with dates: Miss. franc. 111, p. 30, no. 50.
page 91
2741	TEXTS. 59
2742	these may be. A stele, as 36 for instance, shows that children
2743	(or? disciples), while yet alive, added their names to the paternal
2744	epitaph (1); or it may be that such names are those of friends
2745	or relatives who died subsequently (e. g. in 30). Or again, as
2746	in 35, 44, 45, 46, the text ends with a name probably that of
2747	their common dedicator. The graffiti are, as elsewhere, not epi-
2748	taphs, but simply invocations, more or less informal: sometimes
2749	enclosed in a rough frame, sometimes irregularly scribbled on
2750	the plaster, now by one suppliant only (48), now by several
2751	(51, 55, 56, 59). It will be seen below that, besides stelae
2752	and graffiti, there are instances of inscriptions, both epitaphs
2753	(61, 63, 64) and invocations (54, 62), written upon ostraca (2),
2754	which may have served as preliminary drafts for the guidance -
2755	of the stone cutter. They have therefore been inserted in the
2756	present section.

3336	John and Phoebammén might be the martyrs, though here “my brother” seems

3440	(1) A name familiar in Middle Egypt, Peer, Cemet. Abydos lll, 39,
3441	P. Lond. 1V, no. 1538 (cf. there the Greek form XZipos). Sometimes with Apa:
3442	KrarL, CCLII, Ryl. 227. Possibly a derivate of Osiris (sire, ousire in Coptic,
3443	Berichte Leipzig. Akad., 26. Juli 1902, pp. 140, 141). The name Siriis (? Suriis)
3444	at Esneh (Synmax. ed. FORGET I, 333) is hardly the same.

3665	is shown by such cases as BM. 1235; yet in ib. 529 it may be this. Note too

3667	Cf. notes on BM. 344, 1130. In 3 here the title alone shows its use as? =

4338	Accounts.
4339	121. Account of Wine.
4340	Seven fragments, The accounts r2r1—r25 are apparently
4341	all of the same character and probably all in the same hand.
4342	The appearance of the clay in 121 and r22 is indeed so similar
4343	that these fragments may all come from the same pot and per-
4344	haps belong to the same account; ⲍ might, for example, be
4345	part of col. 2 of ⲓ, though, as the parts preserved are in any
4346	case not continuous, it is impossible to be sure of this; the
4347	moulding of the clay in two fragments of 22 is certainly rather
4348	in favour of the supposition.
4349	As we have no general heading to any of these accounts
4350	and they are all extremely fragmentary, it is by no means easy
4351	to discover their character and the principle of their arrange-
4352	ment; and I must confess myself unable to put forward any
4353	quite convincing explanation.
4354	The arrangement of the various accounts seems to be the
4355	same, except that in ⲓϩⲓ each line begins with Af, whereas ⲁ]
4356	does not occur in that position in 123. In r2r it is followed
4357	by ⲟⲙⲟⲓ, and that by a number denoting the day of the month.
4358	Next comes the word ⲫⲟⲣ preceded by a number, and followed
4359	‘by Af with a name, usually of a camel-driver, after which comes
4360	an amount of wine. In 12 the day of the month (in ll. -ⲑ
4361	expressed bv Zuzi(wg), i. e. “ditto”, referring to a previous number)
4362	begins the lines, which for the rest are identical in arrangement
4363	with those in 121. The first A] in 121 no doubt refers to the
page 138
4364	106 TEXTS.
4365	person responsible for the payment (if, which seems very ⲙⲏ‐
4366	likely, the wine is to be regarded as a rent in kind or other
4367	due) or consignment (if it is bought from a merchant or wine-
4368	grower); the second ⲇ indicates the camel-driver through whom
4369	the wine is delivered; and x ⲫⲟⲣ clearly denotes the number
4370	of the pavment or delivery (“first”, “second” op/). But what
4371	is the meaning of Jop/?
4372	If we take 12, which is clearer in its arrangement than
4373	121, we find that ll. 1—g refer to the same day, while in Ⲓ. 10
4374	Of ⲫ seems to indicate the beginning of a new dav. Now in
4375	ll. 4 and 5 we have ⲕ Jop/, in Il. 6—g ⲓ• $op/, and in Ⲓ 10,
4376	which, as we have seen, begins a new dav, a ¢op/. The $op( )
4377	seem, then, to be arranged in order; the highest number in
4378	these accounts is three; and all three ⲫⲟⲣ ) occur or may
4379	occur each day.
4380	This is on the whole borne out by r2z, though there the ar-
4381	rangement is more confusing. ⲇ ⲟⲙⲟⲓ\| no doubt means “by the
4382	ⲑⲉ referring to the consignor. The ⲓⲁ which occurs in Il ⲓ
4383	and 2 is the day of the month. In Ⲓ 1 we find the 1st ⲫⲟⲣ ).
4384	in 1. 2 the second. In I. 3 instead of the day of the month and
4385	a ⲫⲟⲣ we have ⲧ] ⲃ, followed immediately by ⲁ with the name
4386	of the camel-driver. In l. 4, where also the day of the month
4387	is omitted, occurs ⲃ $op/. Hence we may probably conclude that
4388	the ⲕ (the letter, though marked as doubtful, is almost certain)
4389	of I. 3 also refers to the $op( ); and ⲧ] may very possibly stand
4390	for ⲧϥ̄ absiis (sc. wpépas) or =F, ⲧϥ cf. P. Lond. IV 1433, 17 and
4391	passim, where <7 has the same significance. Hence we are
4392	probably justified in regarding Il. 2—4 as containing deliveries
4393	of the second $op( ) on the rrth day of the month. In IL 5
4394	and 6 occurs the third ⲫⲟⲣ ) for the same day, but in l. 7
4395	we return to the first ⲫⲟⲣ ) (the A, though marked as doubtful,
4396	is again almost certain). In 1. 8 ⲟⲙⲟⲓ is followed by a word
4397	ⲧⲟⲩ., which is obscure. It may possibly be an attempt at Thoth,
4398	although in Il. ⲑ and 10 the word is correctly written, but is
4399	perhaps the name of a village (not impossibly ⲧⲟⲩⲟⲩ = Touho;
4400	cf. 147, 13, note), the person for whom delivery is made being
4401	the same as in the previous lines but the estate different. This
page 139
4402	TEXTS. 107
4403	too refers to the 11th day; the ⲫⲟⲣ ) is the third. In lL g
4404	and 10 respectively we have the first and the second ⲫⲟⲣ ).
4405	It will be seen that the arrangement is not so regular as
4406	in 123, but apparently here too the intention is to enter the
4407	deliveries according to the order of the $op( ); the exceptions
4408	are probably due to accidental omission at the proper place.
4409	Since all the $op( ) occur in a single day and with each
4410	new day the series begins afresh, we can hardly explain the
4411	word as signifying payments by instalments of an annual due,
4412	like, e. g., the three annual tax-payments. It should rather denote
4413	successive daily deliveries; and perhaps the likeliest explanation
4414	is that there were regular convoys (normally three each day,
4415	though higher numbers occur occasionally; ⲉ. g., in 368 we have
4416	apparently a fifth $op/), and that wine received was entered in
4417	the day-book according to the convoy by which it came. We
4418	may then translate $op( ) as either “convoy” or “delivery”.
4419	That this explanation, though not free from difficulties
4420	(see below), is the correct one, and that $op( ) is probably to
4421	be extended gzgds, is strongly suggested by parallel instances.
4422	Thus in Cruwm’s Short Texts, we find, in no. 128: “The account
4423	(2éves) of corn brought (on camel): The first ⲫⲟⲣⲁ by our own
4424	camels, 16 artabae; the second ditto, 24; the third, 16; the
4425	fourth...” So too in Turaierr, Materiale, 1902, no. 29 (from
4426	Achmim): “17 Epip, for(?) Pgalashire, ⲫⲟⲩⲣⲗ of corn, 24 artabae,
4427	for the monastery of ...”; no. 30, ⲫⲟⲩⲣⲁ of corn, 16 thallia(?)
4428	...”; Tnowpsox ap. QuiBeLL, Sagqara, The Mon. of Apa Jeremias,
4429	1912, pp. 118—11g, Ostr. 375 and following, where x ⲫⲟⲣ]
4430	occurs, followed by a number of camels, and a quantity of
4431	wine or other article. Again, in the present volume, 365—368
4432	also specify the gopd, and so 370, where ⲫⲟⲩⲣⲗ is written in
4433	full; and in the ostraca from Oxyrhynchus published by Grex-
4434	rELL and HuxT in Arch. Report, 19o5—6, p. 14 f., the same
4435	phrase occurs; for in nos. 5, 6, 7 (PREISIGKE, S.-B., 1966—8)
4436	ⲁ ⲫⲟⲣ] is to be read, not ϫ (¥sev3?) gsz( ), but (mses) gop(ds).
4437	A very close analogy to the present accounts is, further, to be
4438	found in PSL Ⲓ 307, an account from Hermopolis headed:
4439	1e(yez) 2B dvzyh(dvmes) ⲩϩ sii ⲧⲩ wih Sik ⲧⲱ ⲗⲁⲗ [ⲱⲩ] where
page 140
4440	108 TEXTS.
4441	the entries are arranged by zczal. In Ⲓ. 4 we have the 1st gop
4442	(1st Pharmouthi), in 6 the second (2nd Pharmouthi), in 8 and ⲑ
4443	the third and fourth (no date specified, unless Ⲡϫ ⲭⲱ 6 in lL. 10
4444	refers to these entries); and in ll. 13—15, under the heading
4445	avin(wpazes) the items are again arranged by zszzf; the only
4446	date is 1st Pharmouthi, with the second si (l. 14). Yet an-
4447	other parallel is B. M. 1091: “On account (behalf) of Gregory's
4448	camelherd: for the second day, 16 ascalonia — for the 2nd
4449	ⲫⲟⲣⲁ, asc. 8, for the 3rd ⲫⲟⲣⲁ, asc. 8 — for the... man, for
4450	(of?) the 1st turn (? round), asc. 16.”
4451	It must, however, be noted that, even if the translation
4452	“convoy” correctly represents the sense, it is perhaps not the
4453	literal meaning. In Byzantine Greek scϩⲍ︦ regularly meant “time”
4454	(see DUCANGE, s. 1.), so that here too it is possible that the literal
4455	translation should be “first (second, etc.) time”; and B. M. 1091,
4456	where *Ⲙⲉ 1st turn” may be a Coptic rendering of zsgd, sup-
4457	ports this. It may even be that in P. Lond. II 468, 5, p. 81,
4458	ⲫ ⲃ︦, we have an instance of the phrase meaning “second time”
4459	(i. e., of payment of camel-tax), though perhaps WIiLCKeX's ren-
4460	dering, “zwei Raten”, is the more likely.
4461	This may perhaps suggest that the explanation adopted
4462	above is mistaken: that the reference is not to convoys but to
4463	“times” of making pavment or delivery, instalments or ‘“Raten’.
4464	If, however, the convoy theory offers difficulties, the other is
4465	also not free from them; and the occurrence of the phrase x ¢sz4
4466	in different localities and in different connexions certainly sug-
4467	gests that the reference is to a general svstem of convoys or
4468	relays. This too is perhaps favoured by TuralEFr's document,
4469	“poypa of corn, 24 artabae’’, which one might translate: “carriage
4470	of corn, 24 artabae’’; and finally it is significant that in all cases
4471	where ¢sza occurs it is in connexion with the convevance of
4472	articles on camel-back. Very likely, indeed, the meaning “time”
4473	arose from the earlier sense of ‘carriage” by a camel-convoy.
4474	As already remarked, the explanation “convoy” is not free
4475	from difficulties; but the varving quantity of wine delivered by
4476	the various camel-drivers is not, as it might at first sight appear,
4477	an objection to it. For in both r2r and r23, where alone the
page 141
4478	TEXTS. 109
4479	beginnings of the lines are preserved, all the entries are credited
4480	to the same person (ⲁ omoi in r27 must mean this, and in 123
4481	no person is named, which seems to imply that the same wine-
4482	grower is concerned throughout; so too in r25 ll. ⲓ and 2 may
4483	well be a heading, 1. 1 giving the personal name or names, . 2
4484	that of the estate, while the remaining lines specify the single
4485	deliveries); the inference being that these accounts were arranged
4486	under personal rubrics. Hence the single items do not necessarily
4487	specify the total amount of wine carried by the camel-driver
4488	concerned but only the amount brought by him from the estate
4489	to which the rubric refers; one camel-driver might bring wine
4490	from several consignors.
4491	A more serious objection is perhaps the fact that in r2r
4492	Phoebammon seems to occur for both the second (1. 3) and the
4493	first (I. 7) ϩs but this is not decisive. In lL 7 ⲁ though
4494	almost, is not quite certain; there may conceivably have been
4495	two camel-drivers named Phoebammon; and as we do not ‘know
4496	the distance from which in this case the wine was brought, we
4497	cannot say for certain that it was impossible for the same camel-
4498	driver to take part in two convoys on the same day.
4499	It will be seen that, imperfect as they are, these accounts
4500	have yet a certain value as illustrating the daily routine of supply
4501	in a monastic settlement. They are also of interest by reason
4502	of the measures which occur in them (for this subject see the
4503	section Metrology- in the General Introduction).

4661	126. Account of Wine.
4662	This account is somewhat obscure in character. If the ex-
4663	planation on which the translation is based is correct, it spe-
4664	cifies issues or sales of wine, according to the jars (»#3::) from
4665	which the wine was taken. But a difficulty on this view is
4666	constituted by Il. 5, 6 (see notes), and it is to be remarked that
4667	7 in 1. 4 might be merely the sum of 3 (lL. 2), 2 (I. 3) and 2
4668	(1. 4); hence it is possible that ⲁⲡⲟ ⲕⲁⲇ] is to be explained in
4669	some other way. In any case it is worthy of note that big and
4670	little cnidia occur; see the General Introduction.

4819	Takh (TwW2¢) al-Khail (AMELINEAU, Géogr. 524). [t may be noted that Thallou,

5112	by ⲁ ⲭⲓⲣ] are those of agents through whom payments or deli-
5113	veries were made.
5114	151. Account of Uncertain Character
5115	This fragment contains little but a list of totals. L. 1 is
5116	apparently the end of a section of the account, but is obscure.
5117	In 1. 2 is the heading %3(yes;) nasa szn(i323), .i. e. “account by
5118	pages” (or perhaps, if the reference is to something contained
5119	on this potsherd, not to the pages of a book, “by columns”).
5120	In Il. 3 and 4 come the totals for pages 1 and 2, in Ⲓ. 5 the
5121	grand total. A similar arrangement by czAiZzg appears in B. M.
5122	1075, P- 447, where ⲇⲇⲇ szhiz; seems a likelier extension than

5166	In its present state this fragment is obscure. Perhaps in-

5168	the account, I. 8 gives a total, and of ll. 4—7 the beginnings

5858	(1) ⲙⲟⲓⲁϩ is a measure (or receptacle) for grain, BM. 1033, for straw
5859	Ryl. 319. In KrarLrL CCXLVII ⲙⲟⲈⲓϩ is among vessels, to judge by Ⲥⲗⲗⲟ
5860	next it (cf. P. Lond. IV, 1610, 41 CApO). In BM. 1066 its use is obscure. It
5861	is presumably the origin of Ⲙⲟϧⲉⲓ (ⲟ), WEsSELY, Stud. 1 280, and of the
5862	carlier peitov, REL, Beitrdge 44. One’ or other of these forms in P. Oxy. 146,
5863	1734, P. Grenf. I, XIV, PREISIGKE, SB. 1904. In these it appears as a hay or
5864	fodder measure.
5865	(2) V. CO. 348 n. An ostracon BP. 4949 shows its article fem. In 166,
5866	198, it contains cheese, in 344 wine: therefore a jar or pot.
5867	(3) This word is CWPOTOL in 747, CYPOYTWII in 92, Ⲥⲓⲣⲱⲧⲟⲓⲓ in
5868	Kravi, CCXLII (where it holds yluzdv) and spw(tov) in Eg. Expl. Fund's Re-
5869	port 1904 5, 16 (= PREISIGKE, SB. 1960). Except in the present instance and
5870	in 92, it is clearly the vessel holding the wine or vinegar. Apparently unknown
5871	otherwise unless gegrmid;, an epithet of oil, P. Oxy. 1070, be the same word.
5872	(4) Cf. 92. Presumably the abbot. Possibly however genitive, instead of
5873	dative, indicating a special quality of wine. Cf. 177, 178.

5965	The character of the following ostraca is not so certain

5967	ceivably be receipts without a date; but it seems unlikely that
5968	receipts, except by an accident, would be issued without a date,
5969	and on the whole it is most probable that they were notes of

5986	This ostracon is probably complete, but the ink on the

6051	As Mathias and Hor are both known as camel-drivers, it
6052	seems likely that they are the persons named here, the con-

6055	Elias, not known elsewhere as a camel-driver, is perhaps more

6090	The receipts, to which class the great majority of the
6091	Greek ostraca belong, fall, for the most part, into certain clearly
6092	marked types, and they have been arranged accordingly. The
6093	first receipt of each type is furnished with an introduction deal-
6094	ing with all the documents of its class. The measures which
6095	occur are discussed not in the notes to the individual receipts
6096	but in the section of the general introduction devoted to the
6097	metrology of these ostraca. As the receipts are so uniform in
6098	type it seems useless to give translations of all, and only a few
6099	are translated to serve as specimens of the various classes.
6100	205.
6101	First are placed those receipts which begin with a date.
6102	The majority of these (213—339) are arranged on the plan:
6103	Date; place-name; amount of wine; name of camel-driver without
6104	(ic) no signature by the clerk. This class is dealt with in the
6105	introduction to 213. But first are placed some receipts which
6106	begin indeed with a date but in other respects follow a different
6107	arrangement. Nos. 205—208 show the scheme: Date; number
6108	of 0ainiz and amount of corn in artabas; 2(:4) with a personal

6111	name; signature of the clerk issuing the receipt. These otter no
6112	difficulty, except as regards the question as to the purpose of
6113	* the receipt, which is more conveniently dealt with in connexion
6114	with the section 213—339 below, and the meaning of ⲗ..
6115	The figures following this word show that it is here used as
6116	a measure (see the general introduction); but it is curious that
6117	no article is specified. An analogy is furnished by some of the
6118	ostraca (already referred to in a previous section) published by
6119	GrexreLL and Huxt in the Archaelogical Report of the Eg.

6124	(nix) tz (azz) ⲗ. In 306 and 316 Oakhizv occurs as a measure of
6125	dates, in 367 of barley, and in 370 of vegetable seed; it is
6126	nowhere used as a measure of wine. As ¢issg in Byzantine times
6127	was regularly used as “wheat”, not as “corn” in general, and
6128	Ox7.7izv once occurs as a measure of barley, it is possible that
6129	barley is to be understood here. There are however some ob-
6130	jections to this.
6131	In the first place, since wheat was far the commoner crop
6132	it is strange that barley, not it, should be the one to be un-
6133	named; one would expect the more usual produce, if either, to
6134	be understood, the less usual to be named. Secondly, since bar-
6135	ley was regularly reckoned by artabas, there seems no reason
6136	why it should here be reckoned by 0zikiz, wheat, as usual,
6137	by artabas. In the third place it is significant that in all cases
6138	(except 360; see the introduction there) the number of artabas
6139	is just double that of Oarxiz. This is not, indeed, the case with
6140	GrexveLL and Hunt's ostraca. In 1978, 15 ⲇ. are half the
6141	number of artabas (30); but in the other cases the proportion
6142	is different. In 1966 the figures are { and 2; and here we may
6143	suspect that wx is really to be read 13, which gives the required
6144	ratio, 7 14. In 1967 ⲗ and vz and in 1968 Ozanysi( ):2, are
6145	less tractable. It is perhaps possible that in 1967 vz may be a
6146	misreading, though it seems hardly likely that 22, the double
6147	of #3, could be read as vz; nor do ⲩ and 2) the reading sug-
page 189
6148	TENS: 157
6149	gested above for 1968, lend themselves easily to correction
6150	(rs 13 or §::2). Nevertheless the evidence of the present collec:
6151	tion and the fact that one and very likely two of the Arch.
6152	Report ostraca show the same ratio make it at least possible
6153	that a revision of the others also might reveal it; and in any
6154	case it is not unlikely that 6zalicv in the Wadi Sarga receipts
6155	(with the possible exception of 360) (1) is to be taken as simply
6156	an alternative way of expressing the amount stated in artabas;
6157	i. e. that a 0Oaznnicv was 2 artabas. It is strange that it here
6158	comes first and that si(sev) is placed with (&g=#3ar), not with
6159	it; but the combination ⲍ. ag® or ⲟ︦ was so common that
6160	it may have become well-nigh inseparable, the clerks writing it
6161	without any consciousness of the sizzu.
6162	The receipts 205—208, which, as has been said, show the
6163	same arrangement, were all issued by a clerk named Horus.
6164	Only in 205 is the person whose name follows (14) described
6165	as a camel-driver; in 206 we have an Zgytsdppayss;, and in the
6166	other two cases there is no description; but it can hardly be
6167	doubted that in each case 2(:z) indicates the person who brought
6168	the consignment.

6322	specification of the zcpa. Hence 022225 is the probable extension,
6323	and the fact that a place-name has already been given suggests
6324	that the word is here a common noun and means “present”,
6325	‘customary payment,” as suggested in the note on 211, ⲓ. But
6326	Plebidow is a village, not an estate, and Oars may well have
6327	been an estate situated there; or the meaning may be “of Thal-
6328	lou”, referring to the two carriers. Hence there is no need to
6329	adopt the alternative explanation.
6330	213.
6331	The great majority of the receipts belong to the series
6332	beginning with the present one. With a few unimportant indi-
6333	vidual variations all these receipts follow a uniform scheme,
6334	which is as follows: Date; place-name; amount of wine; name
6335	of camel-driver, without ⲍ). In a few cases the name of the
6336	camel-driver has been omitted; fairly often consignments are
6337	noted from more than one place, and occasionally a second
6338	payment is inserted, no doubt by an afterthought, after the
6339	name of the camel-driver. These receipts are here arranged
6340	according to the names of the camel-drivers, and, in each section,
6341	by the names of the towns or villages; at the end are given
6342	those in which the name of the camel-driver is not inserted or
6343	has been lost.
6344	As the type is so uniform, the interest of most of these
6345	receipts lies mainly in the place-names and the measures used.
6346	There is however a general problem to be settled in regard to
6347	them. To whom and by whom were they given, and what is
6348	their purpose? ‘I'he only personal name which occurs in each
6349	is that of the camel-driver; did he issue the receipt, or was he
6350	the recipient? And, in the latter case, where was the receipt
6351	given him?
6352	That the camel-drivers whose names occur on these receipts
6353	were not the persons who issued them is proved conclusively
6354	by the hands, which do not varv with the camel-drivers. The
6355	great majority of the receipts are in a single hand; nor do the
6356	other hands which occur correspond with the occurrences of
page 195
6357	TEXTS. 163
6358	any one camel-driver. Clearly, then, the camel-driver is merely
6359	the carrier of the wine; the receipts were issued by a clerk who
6360	did not sign his name. .
6361	We may conclude that the receipts were given to the
6362	camel-driver either when he received the wine for conveyance
6363	or when he delivered it at its destination; in the first case these
6364	ostraca are of course not to be regarded as receipts at all but
6365	a sort of way-bill or tally, which he delivered up to the reci-
6366	pients of the wine as a check on proper delivery. In favour
6367	of this hypothesis is the fact that the ostraca were all found
6368	on a single site, whereas we might expect the camel-drivers to
6369	come from various places; indeed some of them are described
6370	as “of so-and-so” (e. g, 205, 4). But the hands again seem a
6371	conclusive objection; for on this theory we should have to sup-
6372	pose that the ostraca were written in many ditferent places and
6373	therefore by different clerks, whereas only a very few hands
6374	are found in them, whose occurrences do not correspond with
6375	the occurrences of any particular place-name. Hence it seems
6376	clear that the ostraca are receipts given to the camel-drivers on
6377	delivery of the wine. From this two conclusions follow: first,
6378	as the ostraca were all found at Wadi Sarga, the camel-drivers
6379	must have lived there, at least part of their time, and second,
6380	it seems probable that the receipts were meant for the camel-
6381	drivers only, to clear them of responsibility for the wine, not
6382	for the consignors. Receipts to the latter would hardly have been
6383	found at Wadi Sarga; and moreover they would almost cer-
6384	tainly bear the names of the consignor and of the recipient
6385	or his representative.
6386	The case may, however, be different with the preceding
6387	ostraca. 205—208 are not only all issued by the same clerk
6388	but thev have no place-name. It seems quite likely therefore
6389	that they are in the nature of a way-bill, given to the camel-
6390	driver with the wine and handed over by him on making de-
6391	livery; and 209—212 may be of the same class.
6392	First are placed the receipts issued to Hor.

6503	In this and the following receipts the camel-driver is

6506	In 227 the name is ⲓ̈ⲱϩⲁⲓⲛⲓⲙⲥ ⲕⲟⲩⲓ̈

7471	with the date inserted, as usual in such documents, at the end

7497	9, note; 1741, 5, note. Nos. 345—354 form a series by them-
7498	selves, being all in the same hand, namely that of Menas, for
7499	whom see the introduction to 209. It is a rough, inelegant
7500	hand, and the Greek is bad. The receipts all follow the same
7501	(1) ⲥⲇⲓⲓⲉⲕⲓⲱ “honey dealers”, though one expects here a tax official.
7502	(2) The plur. in 4 suggests it here. Perhaps Ⲉⲛ “we (write)”.

7514	goed is not always mentioned and when mentioned varies in
7515	position. In some cases the only personal name (except that of
7516	the clerk Menas) which occurs is followed by kamaa/; hence
7517	we may conclude that the name is always that of the camel-
7518	driver or other person who carried the wine. The place is al-
7519	ways the same, Nesieu, so that Menas seems to have had a
7520	special connexion with that estate; and since we have already
7521	seen (introduction to 213) that there is some reason for re-
7522	garding zog, also written by Menas, as a way-bill rather than
7523	a receipt, it may be conjectured that the ostraca of the present
7524	series are of the same character.

7918	What is meant by this string of names preceded by ⲇ] is not

7920	the others successive agents, through whose hands the consign-

7922	camel-drivers who had brought portions of the consignment

7968	so, however, it is uncertain how the phrase is to be connected

What the layers are

L0 witness
The text as its witness or edition has it, original spelling; its dialect is a description and is never standardized.

L0.5 transliteration
For Egyptian texts: the transliteration with the editors' marks turned into the symbols ° * < > _ ^ (ruled 2026-09-10). For papyri: the edition's Leiden marks as the same symbols, and the editors' readings beside the scribe's as ‹scribe→editors› (ruled PAP-3).

L1 Cairene
Standardized Greco-Bohairic spelling and grammar, generated by code from the layer above under the rulings of the project.

L2 Kemetic
The Kemetic alphabet, generated by code from L1.

English
Quoted translations where they exist, credited; otherwise model drafts, marked as drafts.
