| Sumario: | Egyptian women's religious expressions in papyrus letters (Bagnall and Cribiore, 2006) were divided into five categories: None , no god(s) mentioned; Pray , containing "Pray" without gods; Gods , for Greek Gods; Sarapis/local Gods/ προσκυνήµα for letters containing prayers in which obeisance before a God is expressed in the Egyptian reverential manner, a προσκυνήµα ; Θεός / Κύριος / Χριστός letters to the Christian God. The None category is prevalent during the early 300 BC to 100 AD period followed by an increase in, and then stable, formulaic/religious expressions. The Pray category peaked in the second and third centuries AD, and the Gods category, referring to pagan Gods, showed a steady and significant decline from the first to the fourth century AD inverse to the rise in prevalence of letters in the Θεός / Κύριος / Χριστός category. The shift to monotheism with Christianity is rendered in graphic form, and permits an appreciation of feminine popular sentiment on religion and its Gods in Egypt.
