The present article gathers papyrological testimonies of contacts of the monastic community at Bawit and its members with ‘the world outside’: officials, tenants, and various partners in economic activities. Its objective is to investigate the role played by these external connections in the life of the monastery in the sixth–eighth centuries and the extent to which economic and fiscal circumstances could influence the administration of the community.
