Document Details : Title: O.Col. inv. 1366 Subtitle: A Coptic Prayer from Deir el-Bahri with a Quotation from Tobit 12:10 Author(s): MAIRS, Rachel Journal: Bulletin of the American Society of Papyrologists Volume: 43 Date: 2006 Pages: 63-70 DOI: 10.2143/BASP.43.0.3209386 Abstract : The ostracon published here derives from the Monastery of Phoibammon at Deir el-Bahri, and is part of the collection of Columbia University. It includes a quotation from the apocryphal book of Tobit – otherwise known in Coptic from only three manuscripts – and several additional lines which may be a prayer. The verso text is rather cryptic and appears to contain an instruction for the text’s use. |
