المستخلص

The subject of this paper is a papyrus document that belongs to a collection containing various papyri and fragments housed now in Dār al-Kutub al-Misrīya. This collection was formed by Berhhardt Moritz director of the Egyptian National Library (Dār al-Kutub al-Misrīya), formerly known as Bibliothèque Khédiviale from 1896 to 1911. The document bears the inventory numbers 3140 and 3141. It seems that this papyrus was moved between 1973 and 1977 among thousands of papyri housed in the Bab al-Khalq facilities to the Egyptian National Library’s new facilities on the Corniche el-Nil in Ramlet Boulak. The majority of Dār al-Kutub collection are Arabic, Greek and Coptic papyri, in addition to a few demotic papyri.
