Abstract | ||||
This paper presents republishing of four Coptic texts as three ostraca and papyrus. One of these ostraca was published by me in 2019 but I present it here with new reading for few words as well as another ostracon was translated by Hall in 1905, while the two other texts (ostracon and papyrus) are mentioned by Crum in his book “Short Texts from Coptic Ostraca and Papyri” in 1921 where he presented only the Coptic transcription without any translation or commentary. However this ostracon has been published in 1915 by Worrell while I didn’t find any translation of the papyrus here. The source of ostraca here is from: the Worrell’s collection (U.S.A.), the Coptic Museum (Egypt) and the British Museum (UK) while the papyrus is kept in John Ryland’s Library, (UK). And all these texts mention the date fruit which was important at that time. | ||||
