2. Some 20 papyri from the Roman and Byzantine period (unpublished).

3. A few hundreds of demotic papyri, both literary and documentary.

Most papyri published in P.Lille dem. I are still in Lille (nos. 1-4, 6- 8, 12-14, 16-20, 24, 25, 29, 30). The collections was extended by new papyri : part ot these are derived from a cartonnage that was in Lille and extracted by Fackelmann, others were bought from Cook and Fackelmann. Most of this second group are small fragments, but there are many and quite substantial fragments of a late demotic account (inv. 50, 60-61, 67, 68 71) (written with a Greek kalamos) and some nice fragments of early demotic (inv. 64d, NP 7 and 26).

4. One hieratic papyrus : inv. 139 = P.Vandier (see highlights)

5. Some twenty Coptic documentary papyri (unpublished)
