The aim of this chapter is to analyze the Greek language spoken and written by the Greek inhabitants of Egypt during the Greco-Roman period, mainly through the source material provided by the papyri. In ch. 5 the difficulties and advantages of working with papyri as a source for the Greek language have been outlined; ch. 16 treats in depth the characteristics of the variety of Greek spoken generally in the Mediterranean in the Hellenistic period, including thus Egypt. Since these two important aspects have already been discussed elsewhere in this volume, I will consider here some aspects pertinent to Egypt only and to the texts provided by Egyptian sources.
