Kreisfreie Stadt Leipzig, Alemania
Apart from military personnel, the presence of Arabs in post-conquest Upper Egypt is poorly documented both in the literary sources and the papyri. The present first edition of an Arabic document from the town of Djême may be evidence of very early contacts between conquerors and indigenous population on a civilian level even in such a remote provincial place. In the text, a Copt receives a receipt for the purchase of real estate from a recently deceased Arab woman.
