Document Details : Title: Some Curious Prescripts (Ntive Languages in Greek Dress?) Author(s): GONIS, Nikolaos Journal: Bulletin of the American Society of Papyrologists Volume: 42 Date: 2005 Pages: 41-44 DOI: 10.2143/BASP.42.0.3275108 Abstract : The core of the article is a discussion of the formulation ἐγώ + name in nominative + γράφω + name in dative, occasionally found in prescripts of Greek papyrus letters from late antiquity. Its Coptic equivalent is very common, which may suggest that the Greek construction goes back to the Coptic. The article closes with a brief examination of a few further cases of possible bilingual interference in documents of this period. |
