words occur which are not contained in the Coptic
lexicons, and of which it is not easy to guess the
meaning. The deed may be thus translated : "In the
name of God. Imprimis, after this I give the
' kathem ' and the ' baimau ' and the ' hee ' of iron and
the ' baienhe' of the house which is towards the
canal (?) to the south (?), I give them every one
to the holy Father Phibamon of Mount Djeme.
And may the Father and the Son and the Holy
Spirit be witnesses to this deed, and whosoever shall
oppose it, let him be under a curse accordingly/'

The date of this deed is probably of the 9th cen
tury.
