Aramaic Papyri

Aramaic papyri are ancient documents written in the Aramaic language, which was widely used in the Near East during the first millennium BCE. These texts, often found in Egypt and dated back to the Persian and Hellenistic periods, include administrative records, legal documents, and personal correspondence. They are significant for understanding the culture, economy, and languages of that era. The papyri provide valuable insights into historical events and the daily lives of people, reflecting the transition from Babylonian influence to that of the Greeks and Romans in the region.
