The abbreviation for the editions in this volume is P.Christ.Musl. All dates are AD/CE unless specified otherwise. Edi- tions of Greek papyri are quoted according to the abbreviations of John F. Oates et al., Checklist of Editions of Greek, Latin, Demotic and Coptic Papyri, Ostraca and Tablets, 5th ed. (Bulletin of the American Society of Papyrologists Suppl. 9) (Oxford: Oxbow, 2001). The up-to-date elec- tronic version is accessible at http://library.duke.edu/rubenstein/scriptorium/papyrus/texts/ clist_papyri.html and http://papyri.info/docs/checklist. Editions of Arabic papyri are quoted according to the abbreviations of P. M. Sijpesteijn, J. F. Oates, and A. Kaplony, “Checklist of Arabic Papyri,” Bulletin of the American Society of Papyrologists 42 (2005): 127–66. The up-to- date electronic version is accessible at http://www.naher-osten.uni-muenchen.de/forschung/ papyrologie/apb/index.html. Various databases of Trismegistos are cited throughout; see https:// www.trismegistos.org/index.php. For the metadata of Coptic documentary papyri the Brussels Coptic Database is being cited in the volume; see http://dev.ulb.ac.be/philo/bad/copte/baseuk .php?page=accueiluk.php. For the text and metadata of Greek (and on occasion Coptic) papyri the Duke Databank of Documentary Papyri (DDbDP) is referenced; see papyri.info. In most cases, when the introduction or commentary of a papyrological edition is cited, it is referred to with author, siglum, and page number rather than to a separate article in the bibliography. The bibliographies, transliterations, and editions of the contributions in French only partially conform to the Chicago Manual of Style, because an effort has been made to respect their own conventions.
