Receipts in Greek, Demotic, and Coptic on papyrus contained in the collection of the Museum of Ancient Cultures at Macquarie University

The Museum of Ancient Cultures at Macquarie University, Sydney, holds some 700 papyri, mainly in Greek, but also in other languages and scripts, such as Demotic and Coptic (Egyptian). Most are written on papyrus, but the collection also includes some texts on ostraca (potsherd), parchment, and wood. The collection includes several receipts, written in Greek, Demotic, or Coptic on papyrus, which come from Egypt and date to the Ptolemaic, Roman and Late Roman-Early Islamic period.
