Abstract

The glass finds were uncovered during the excavations carried out by the Istituto Papirologico “G. Vitelli” (University of Florence) inside the Kollouthos’s church, in the Northern necropolis of Antinoupolis (Egypt). In October 2007 the fragments from blown vessels were discovered in a basin, originally sunk into the ground in the northern pastophorium, probably used to keep holy water to be distributed among the believers. Several oracular tickets testified the extensive use of the holy water made by the small church, home to the oracle of Colluthus. The fragments, coming from flasks, bottles and goblets, well attested in Egypt, are dated to 6th-7th centuries.
