Crossing Invisible Boundaries: An Erased Letter to the Chief of the Storehouse Ḥwy. (original) (raw)

This ostracon previously belonged to the collection of the Bodleian library, then all Bodleian ostraca were sent to the Ashmolean Museum, whereas the papyri remained in the Bodleian library (information kindly provided by Dr. Helen Whitehouse, formerly in charge of the Department of Antiquities of the Ashmolean Museum). 2. The paleographical features of the text, the thin pointed script resulted from using the Greek reed pen, suggest decisively the Roman period as a possible date for this ostracon: Depauw 1997, p. 26.
