The four fragments of documentary papyri presented below have been found in the refuse dump at site B in Deir el-Naqlun in 2011. The documents are dated to the sixth century based on archaeological and palaeographical criteria. P . N aqlun 35 is an address label that provides a new attestation of the presence of Bishop Nikolaos in the Naqlun monastery . P . N aqlun 36 – a fragment of a list of perhaps administrative character – is interesting because of some rare names that it con- tains; it has no clear connection with the monastery , though. P . N aqlun 37 and 38 are scraps of letters addressed to anchorites; the latter, perhaps, pertains to some business matters (a loan?).
