Abstract

Report on the findspots and archaeological context of the Tebtunis papyri in Padua from the Italian excavations in the 1930s, together with a survey of the Egyptian texts. In an appendix, it is argued that a food production unit in the northern insula along the dromos, identified as a horrea by the excavators, might have serviced the neighboring deipneteria.
