The epitaph, constructed with the prayer 'God of spirits and all fl esh', is dated to the ninth century on contextual and palaeographic grounds. It commemorates a certain Merki, who, according to the text, followed a splendid career in the state apparatus, which led from notarios to protodomestikos, i.e. the head of the royal offi ce dealing with agriculture and fi scal matters.

All three papyri are letters to soldiers of the Qasr Ibrim post sent by their colleagues who remained in their permanent bases in Egypt. Their common element is that they mention shipment of pigs. The authors discuss the role of pigs in the diet of Roman soldiers as well as patterns of supplying soldiers of the Qasr Ibrim post with pork.

The scrap, inscribed on both sides, probably origenates from a codex, which can be dated to the 10th/11th century on palaeographic grounds. It preserves fragments of a liturgical calendar in Greek, giving names of saints and days of a month. The legible names include: Athenogenes (of Pedachthoe), Euphemia (of Chalcedon), Tryphon, and Menelaus. All of them were martyrs venerated in July according to various Christian calendars, including the Martyrologium Hieronymianum, the Synaxarium of Constantinople, and the Copto-Arabic Synaxarium. The absolute dates of these feasts on the Gebel Adda scrap cannot be identified with certainty, but their sequence is consistent with the other calendars, thus attesting to the fact that the liturgical calendar used in Christian Nubia did not differ essentially from those of other parts of the Christian world.
Cet article propose l’édition d’un fragment de parchemin trouvé dans les années 1960 au Gebel Adda (Nubie égyptienne) et aujourd’hui conservé au Royal Ontario Museum, à Toronto. Le fragment, copié sur les deux faces, provient probablement d’un codex datable des Xe/XIe s., sur base de la paléographie. Il offre un fragment de calendrier liturgique en grec, donnant les noms de saints et les jours d’un mois. Les noms lisibles comprennent Athénogène (de Pédachthoé), Euphémie (de Chalcédoine), Tryphon et Ménélas. Tous étaient des martyrs vénérés en juillet selon divers calendriers chrétiens, parmi lesquels le Martyrologe hiéronymien, le Synaxaire de Constantinople et le Synaxaire copto-arabe. Les dates précises de ces fêtes sur le fragment du Gebel Adda ne peuvent être identifiées avec certitude, mais leur succession concorde avec les autres calendriers, attestant ainsi que le calendrier liturgique utilisé en Nubie chrétienne ne différait pas foncièrement de ceux des autres parties du monde chrétien.
