| History: |
The papyri and the ostraka are kept in the Département des Antiquités Égyptiennes, the tablets in the Département des Antiquités Grecques et Romaines. The Louvre has a very extensive collection of mummy labels (Greek, demotic and bilingual) All the Egyptian antiquities of the Musée Guimet, including the papyri, were transferred to the Musée du Louvre in 1945, while also all the other relevant items which have shown up there since, were brought to the Louvre. Among these texts are three papyri found in Antinoou Polis (cf. S. de Ricci, Stud.Pal. 01, 1901). |
