18 OcV66xog: for the orthography, cf. Forster, WB, s.v., and Gignac,
Gram. 1:274. According to A. Papaconstantinou, "Les sanctuaires de la Vierge
dans l'Egypte byzantine et omeyyade: l'apport des textes documentaires," JJP
30 (2000) 93, OeoT6xog is only attested in the names of churches from the
sixth century onwards, and it is relatively rare. This finding contributes to her
conclusion "que dans la pratique, la societe egyptienne traitait Marie comme
une sainte parmi les autres, sans lui conferer, dans l'ensemble, le statut particulier qui 6tait le sien dans les ecrits ecclesiastiques."
- 4icTFp(a ): we assume that the horizontal stroke through the tail of
rho, which transforms the letter into a chrismon (cf. 1.8n.), also marks an abbreviation, but cf. 11. 6-7n. above.
19 (Endorsement:) Just possibly read iToo[v at line's end. It seems unlikely
that this scribe would have written the (expected) genitive Mapiac (cf. 1. 18).
3. Document addressed to Flavia Anastasia by Aurelius Kelouch
P.bibl.univ.Giss. inv. 58 H x W = 10.7 x 14.0 cm April 16, 590
There is a vertical kollesis 4.4-5.0 cm from the left edge of the papyrus. The
writing is with the fibers. The same scribe was responsible for the irrigation
machinery receipt P.Bibl.Univ.Giss. inv. 37.
The author is an inhabitant of the (hitherto unattested) epoikion Zoila.2

2 SPP 10.186.9 attests an epoikion Zoeilou. The provenance of this text is unknown;
the entries that read (ip) (TETpTWv) (cf. BL 1:419) suggest a date after the Arab
Conquest (see PLond. 4, p. 124).
