A woman's complaint about neglect


Text: Old Coptic Schmidt Papyrus
Description: papyrus, estimated 13.2 x 10.2 em, ca. 100 c.E. (so Walter E. Crum); the whereabouts of the papyrus is unknown.
Bibliography: Helmut Satzinger, "The Old Coptic Schmidt Papyrus"
Translator: Edmund Meltzer

The Old Coptic Schmidt Papyrus is a text that communicates the complaint of a woman named Esrmpe against a man named Hor. Helmut Satzinger, the original editor of the text, classifies it as a love
charm in the form of "a complaint, of an appeal to a court." In this connection he notes "the close connection that existed, at least from the New Kingdom onward, between jurisdiction and oracular practices"
(uThe Old Coptic Schmidt Papyrus," 46). We may prefer to suggest that the papyrus is not merely a love charm but is rather a complaint about a situation of desertion or familial neglect on the part of Hor.
This interpretation would accord well with the overall tone of the text and would help explain Esrmpe's lack of a "champion son" and her apparent barrenness.

TEXT

My lord Osiris, (lord) of Hasro, I appeal to you, 'render justice to me and Hor (son) of Tanesneous for the things that I have done to him and the things that he has done' to me. He does not consider <me> (?), I having no ' power, I having no champion son. 'I cannot help; I am a barren woman. ' There is no one who will appeal <on> my behalf <before> him, because of Hor ... , I appeal' to [you ... ] great one {?), Osiris, hear my cries ... 'Many are the things that he has done to me. Make a way' for your [ ... ]s, [ ... O]siris, (lord) of Abydos, ' Osir[is ... ] 15 Isis ... Wepwawet, Hathor, 'the nurse of) Anubis son of Osiris, the cowherd' of ... , 'render me justice.
