Mga papiro at ostracon ng Elefantina

Ang **Mga papiro at ostracon ng Elefantina** ay binubuo ng mga libo-libong dokumento mula sa mga muog na Ehipsiyo na mula sa Elefantina at Aswan. Ito ay isinulat sa hieratiko at demotikong Ehipsiyo, Aramaiko, Griyegong Koine, Latin at Coptiko. Ito ay naglalaman ng mga liham at kontratang pambatas na mahalagang mapagkukunan ng kaalaman ng mga iskolar ng epistograpiya, relihiyon, batas, wika at onomastika. Ito ay pinetsahan mula ika-5 siglo BCE. Sa relihiyon, ito ay nagbibigay ng napakilawanag na ebidensiya ng politeismo ng mga Hudyo noong mga circa 400 BCE. Ang mga Hudyo sa panahong ito sa Ehipsiyo ay tila walang kaalaman sa isinulat na Torah. Ang mga Hudyong ito ay sumamba kay Yahweh kasama ng mga Diyos na sina– ʿAnat Betel at Asham Bethel . Bukod dito,  ang mga Hudyong  
ito ay may sinasambahang templo sa Ehipto na isang gawaing pinagbabawal sa isinulat sa isinulat na Torah. Ang "Pagsusumamo kay Bagoas" ay isang liham na isinulat noong 407 BCE kay Bagoas na Gobernador ng Persia sa Hudea na humihingi ng tulong na muling itayo ang isang Hudyong templo sa Elefantina na kamakailan lang winasak ng mga anti-Hudyo.
