The 145 ostraca excavated by the French/Polish archaeological mission at Tell Edfu in Egypt are a welcome addition to the edition of the Greek papyri of Apollonos Anô by R. Rémondon. They contribute to a better dating of the dossier. Remarkable for the adequacy of the support, the script, and the language of the writer—classical Sahidic Coptic or “Edfu dialect,” official Greek—they are also remarkable for the diversity of the subjects covered: religious life, estate management, taxation, trade, and crafts. They are precious testimonies of daily life in the 7th century at Edfu. The 145 ostraca excavated by the French/Polish archaeological mission at Tell Edfu in Egypt constitute an invaluable complement to the Greek papyri of Apollonos Anô published by R. Rémondon. They allow a more accurate dating of the previous Edfu documents. Remarkable by the adequacy between the support, the handwriting and the language of the writer (classical Sahidian Coptic or Edfu Coptic dialect, official Greek), they are also exceptional by the variety of the approached subjects: religious life, property management, taxation, trade, crafts. They are precious testimonies of the 7th century everyday life in Edfu.
