Abstrakt: A part of CPR XXII 17, 1b was identified in the edition as pen trial. It is, however, written in Arabic. This note argues that the Arabic part was written by the same scribe as the Greek and the Coptic passages in the papyrus. This revelation throws light on how Greek, Coptic and Arabic were simultaneously used in early Islamic Egypt and suggests that there might have been scribes who were capable of handling all three languages very efficiently.
