19세기 말 이집트 중부 옥시린쿠스(Oxyrhynchus) 마을의 쓰레기더미에서 ‘옥시린쿠스 파피리(Oxyrhynchus Papyri)’라고 불리는 파피루스 뭉치가 발견되었는데 그 안에서 기독교 복음서 등 수많은 작품들이 발굴되었다. 이 파피루스는 발견되고 출판된 순서에 따라 순차적으로 일련번호가 붙여졌는데, P. Oxy 1, P. Oxy 2 등으로 불리고 있다.(http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Oxyrhynchus_Papyri)

다음은 옥시린쿠스 파피루스(Oxyrhynchus Papyrus XI.1380. 2세기 초), 즉  ‘Invocation of Isis’ 이라는 제목의 내용에 수많은 이시스의 이름과 형용어, 별명이 나오는 부분이다. ( http://archive.org/stream/oxyrhynchuspapyr11gren#page/200/mode/2up )

 

첫번째로 이집트 도시들이, 다음에는 지중해 세계의 여러 도시들이 나온다. 편의상 이시스의 이름처럼 보이는 부분만 ‘굵게’ 강조하였다.
