This article gives a new reading and interpretation of a Coptic legend accompanying a wall-painting in a medieval church at Tebtunis, first published by C. C. Walters in this journal in 1989. Among depictions of the punishment of various sinners, the figure of a woman whose breasts are attacked by snakes can be connected with a belief in the sinfulness of wet-nursing, which is paralleled in Byzantine, Zoroastrian, and Mandaean contexts. Such scruples, foreign to Egypt in earlier times, may be owed to Gnosticism.

为出租而献出乳房的女人。来自 Tebtunis 的基督教壁画笔记

这篇文章对科普特传说进行了新的解读和解释，该传说伴随着 Tebtunis 中世纪教堂的壁画，由 CC Walters 于 1989 年首次发表在该杂志上。乳房被蛇袭击可以与对哺乳的罪恶的信仰有关，这在拜占庭、拜占庭、拜占庭和曼达教的背景下是平行的。这种顾虑在早期对埃及来说是陌生的，可能是诺斯替主义造成的。
