Author Description

The abundant material discovered at Tebtynis includes few hieroglyphic or Aramaic texts, hieratic ostraca, graffiti, inscriptions, texts on stamps, seals, bones or glass. Nonetheless, these inscriptions are of interest and the present volume aims at gathering and classifying them, according to their language, the type of inscription and the material used. Indexes complete the classification. Thanks to this presentation, the reader interested in a particular type of text will easily find them grouped together here and anyone studying Tebtynis will have easy access to all the information these pieces offer about the village. In order to facilitate studies on Tebtynis and to avoid the scattering of works on the village, an appendix devoted to the papyri of Soknebtynis, one of the major legacies of the site to modern science, has been included in this volume.
