Abstract

Egyptian women’s religious expressions in papyrus letters (Bagnall and Cribiore, 2006) were divided into five categories: None, no god(s) mentioned; Pray, containing “Pray” without gods; Gods, for Greek Gods; Sarapis/local Gods/προσκυνήµα for letters containing prayers in which obeisance before a God is expressed in the Egyptian reverential manner, a προσκυνήµα; Θεός/Κύριος/Χριστός letters to the Christian God. The None category is prevalent during the early 300 BC to 100 AD period followed by an increase in, and then stable, formulaic/religious expressions. The Pray category peaked in the second and third centuries AD, and the Gods category, referring to pagan Gods, showed a steady and significant decline from the first to the fourth century AD inverse to the rise in prevalence of letters in the Θεός/Κύριος/Χριστός category. The shift to monotheism with Christianity is rendered in graphic form, and permits an appreciation of feminine popular sentiment on religion and its Gods in Egypt.
217封埃及妇女书信的社会宗教方面,公元前300年至公元800年
埃及女性在莎草纸信件中的宗教表达(Bagnall and Cribiore, 2006)被分为五类:None,没有提到神;祈祷,包含无神的“祈祷”;希腊诸神;προσκ ο ή (ροσκ ο ή)为包含祈祷文的信件,其中以埃及人虔诚的方式表达对神的敬拜;Θεός/Κύριος/Χριστός信基督教的神。无类别在公元前300年至公元100年期间普遍存在,随后是公式/宗教表达的增加,然后是稳定的。祈祷类在公元二世纪和三世纪达到顶峰,而神类,指的是异教徒的神,从公元一世纪到公元四世纪,与Θεός/Κύριος/Χριστός类中字母的流行度上升相反,呈现出稳定而显著的下降。基督教向一神论的转变以图形形式呈现,并允许对埃及女性对宗教及其神的普遍情感的欣赏。
