Description: In this paper, I will offer a survey of the papyri of Cicero, with the aim of highlighting their place in the educational environment of the Eastern part of the Roman Empire, especially during Late Antiquity. Firstly, I will present a table of all the witnesses to give a general view of the documents and their main features: date, book form and material, work, and typology. Secondly, I will discuss selected items, focusing on their features that, in my opinion, can be related to an educational context. Finally, I will draw conclusions from the examined evidence concerning the spread of Cicero in Egypt and about his use in a didactic context, as well as making a general comparison with the contemporary educational path in the West.
