A New Piece in the Prosopography Mosaic of the Coptic Scriptorium of Toutōn: Pantouleos, Son of Houmise

Abstract

A photograph taken in the early 1930s during a swift reconnaissance of the Byzantine sector of Tebtynis (Coptic Toutōn) is the only witness of a now lost dipinto mentioning a Pantouleos son of Houmise. The man could be the homonymous donor mentioned in the colophon (939/940 ce) of a fragmentary manuscript written in Toutōn and preserved in Viennese Papyrussammlung, as well as, perhaps, the owner of a refined shawl kept in the Metropolitan Museum of Art
