Oxyrhynchos (now El-Bahnasa, Middle Egypt) is famous for the thousands of papyri unearthed from 1896 onward. Among these documents are contracts, letters, and religious texts revealing a significant Jewish presence in the first through fourth centuries of the Common Era. These papyri constitute a primary source for the history of Jews in Roman and Byzantine Egypt.
