Synopsis "Coptic Documentary Texts From Kellis: Volume 2 p. Kellis vii (Dakhleh Oasis Project Monograph) (in English)"
This is the second volume on fourth century Coptic documents written on papyri and boards, found in the ruins of houses at Kellis, the Roman predecessor of the village of Ismant el-Kharab in the Dakhleh Oasis. It is concerned with 75 letters and associated household accounts and lists, mostly from House 3. The documents are transcribed and translated with commentary. Together, these two volumes break new ground in providing a unique insight into the social and economic relations of a sectarian group within a late antique village, and the opportunity to study that group’s interaction with other communities. They give voice to ordinary people and provide genuine insights into literacy and the role of women, communications and travel, multilingual society and normative forms of belief and practice.Table of ContentsCONTENTS PrefaceIntroductionAbbreviationsHOUSE 3Letter on a wooden board (with traces of an earlier text in Syriac)Texts perhaps additional to groups published in Volume 1Manichaean lettersLetters by Pamour (and Maria)Letters by Pegosh (brother of Pamour)Letters from Philammon to Theognostos (Louishai) and HorLetters from TheognostosLetters from and to PloutogenesKyra / Loihat / Timotheos groupIndividual and unplaced documents and lettersList of other (not edited) Coptic fragments from House 3HOUSE 4LettersInventoryInvocationList of other (not edited) Coptic fragments from House 4TEMPLE ENCLOSURELettersVariaList of other (not edited) Coptic fragments from the Temple EnclosureIndices:Native wordsLoan wordsGreek words in Greek contextPersonal namesGeographical and ethnic namesConjugationsTriadic pronominals (PTN)Subject index (English language)Inventory numbersNote concerning the photographsP.
