Abstract
This paper aims to study the Coptic papyrus SR 4/570, which is currently preserved in
the Egyptian Museum in Cairo. The papyrus contains a Coptic text written as one part,
but it was preserved in two parts; the first part (A) has 30 lines, and the second part (B)
has 29 lines. The text is a donation contract to dedicate a child to the service of the
Monastery of St. Phoibammon in Dispolis Magna-Thebes (currently Luxor). The
papyrus is in good condition, complete, with ligatures in both parts and some gaps in
the first part. The Papyrus has been written by a skilled writer. The formulas,
paleography, and historical background of the text made it clear to us that the papyrus
dates to the eighth century AD.
