Abstract

Analysis of the drawings on a 5th century AD papyrus containing a list of multiplications. On the recto, an eagle with XI monogram emblematises the Christian notion of resurrection and ascent of the soul. On the verso, what was earlier considered just an ornament is in fact a geographical map of an Eastern Desert wadi and is fashioned following patterns of older Egyptian cartography.
