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.
