HORACE HART, PRINTER TO THE UNIVERSITY —
PREFACE
Tue hundred and fifty-eight texts included in this first volume
of the Oxyrhynchus Papyri are selected from the twelve or thirteen
hundred documents at Oxford in good or fair preservation which
up to the present time we have been able to examine, and from the
hundred and fifty rolls left at the Gizeh Museum.
The bulk of the collection, amounting to about four-fifths of
the whole, has not yet been unpacked. The selected texts have
been chosen partly to illustrate the scope and variety of the collection,
partly because their comparative completeness rendered the task of
editing them less difficult; for the question of time has been a pressing
one. We may perhaps be allowed to draw our readers’ attention to
the fact that the interval between the arrival of the papyri in England
and the completion of this book has been less than eleven months,
‘and that besides deciphering and commenting on the texts contained
in it we have, at the request of several subscribers to the Graeco-
Roman Branch, in most cases given translations. It has of course
been impossible in the limited time at our disposal to solve many of
the problems of restoration and interpretation which beset any fresh
vi PEEPFAGE
collection of papyri, and especially one coming from a new site and
abounding in novelties of all kinds. The rapidity of its publication
will, we hope, be regarded as some excuse for the shortcomings
of this volume.
The texts now published fall into two classes, the literary and
the non-literary. The examples of the former are probably a good
specimen of what may be expected in future volumes. It is not very
likely that we shall find another poem of Sappho, still less that we
shall come across another page of the ‘Logia. The chances against
any individual discovery of great value are always considerable. But
we have no reason for thinking that the surprises to come will be
much less exciting than those which have gone before.
In editing the new fragments of Greek classical literature, at
once the most interesting and the most difficult part of this volume,
we have had the assistance of Professor F. Buiass, who visited
Oxford last July, and with whom we have since been in frequent
correspondence. We tender him here our warmest thanks for his
generosity in placing at our disposal his rare combination of profound
scholarship, palaeographical skill, and brilliancy of imagination.
Of the non-literary papyri, which range over the first seven
centuries A.D. and are of a very miscellaneous character, those of
the sixth and seventh centuries have been kept distinct from those
belonging to the centuries preceding. Within these groups chrono-
logical order has not been observed, but documents have been roughly
arranged according to subject. In future volumes we hope to proceed
on a more definitely chronological system.
To the hundred and fifty-eight texts here given we have added
PREFACE vii
descriptions of forty-nine documents at Oxford which we have copied,
but which for various reasons it seemed unnecessary to print 27 extenso.
Those Oxyrhynchus papyri in the Gizeh Museum which are not
published here will be fully described in the new official catalogue
of that Museum which is now in course of preparation, and of which
the division of Greek Papyri has been entrusted to ourselves. The
ultimate destination of the papyri in England has not yet been
decided; but we shall from time to time issue statements as to the
Museums in which the originals are to be found.
In conclusion, we have to thank the subscribers to the Graeco-
Roman Branch, who have rendered this publication possible, and to
assure them that we shall endeavour to give them a volume of equal
interest next year.

NOTE ON THE METHOD OF PUBEICATION-: AND
LIsT OF ABBREVIATIONS USED
In the following pages literary texts (with the exception of No. v) are
printed just as they were written, except that words are separated from each
other. Only those stops, breathings and other lection signs are inserted which
are found in the original.
The non-literary texts have been printed in ordinary type and in modern
form with accents, breathings and stops. Abbreviations and symbois in the
text are resolved, except in those cases in which a sum is written out both in
words and signs; elsewhere symbols are relegated to the critical notes, as also
are lection signs, e.g. diaereses, except those over figures. Owing to the
exigencies of the press, a sign which occurs more than once is as a rule only
printed on the first occasion on which it is used. lota adscript is reproduced
wherever it was actually written ; otherwise iota subscript is printed. Faults
of orthography are corrected in the critical notes wherever they seemed likely
to cause any difficulty. Corrections, if written in a hand different from that of
the body of the papyrus, are printed in small type; if not, in the same type as
the rest of the text.
Square brackets [ | indicate a lacuna, round brackets ( ) the resolution
of an abbreviation or symbol, angular brackets « ) the omission in the
original of the letters enclosed; double square brackets |] || indicate that the
letters enclosed have been erased in the original. Dots placed inside brackets
represent the approximate number of letters lost or erased. Dots outside
brackets indicate mutilated or otherwise illegible letters. Letters with dots
under them are to be considered uncertain.
Small Roman numerals refer to the papyri of this volume; large ditto to
columns; Arabic numerals by themselves to lines.

To summarize the literature evoked by the publication of the ‘Logia,’
and to answer the criticisms directed against the view which we suggested, is
far too large a task to be entered on here, though perhaps we may attempt
it on some future occasion. The reader will find a useful bibliography of the
literature, and a lucid exposition of the different explanations of the text and
theories of its origin in Zwo Lectures on the ‘Sayings of Fesus, by Professors
Lock and Sanday (Clarendon Press, 1897), though from some of their con-
clusions we should dissent.
We confine ourselves here to noting briefly those points connected with
reading and interpretation in which we consider that criticism has made a
definite advance, and to giving a revised text and translation.
In Logion II the parallels adduced from Clement of Alexandria by
Mr. J. B. Mayor leave little room for doubt that vyoteveww tov Kdoporv is to
be taken metaphorically.
Many critics have wished to connect ryv arwyelay, our Logion IV, with the
preceding saying. Of the various conjectures, we prefer Dr. Taylor's Bré | | rovow
atrév THY Tada | Twplav kal thy mrwxelay. But we must enter a protest against
the current view that there is an @ friorz probability in favour of only one line
being lost at the bottom of the verso. The lacuna may have extended to five
or even ten lines; cf. introd. to xxii. Since there is nothing whatever to show
1 See separate publication, AOTIA IHCOY, Sayings of Our Lord, edited by B. P. Grenfell and A. S. Hunt.
H. Frowde 1897.
B
2 THE OXVRAYNCHUS’ PAPYRI
the extent of the lacuna, any attempt to fill it up must be purely hypothetical.
And a conjecture which presupposes a definite number of lines lost is thereby
rendered very doubtful.
The difficulties of the fifth Saying have not yet been surmounted. Of the
numerous restorations of the three mutilated lines we on the whole prefer that
of Blass, [Aéy]et ['Ijcots bzjov édv Gow | [B, odx] €[iot]» aAeou cal | [6]zov ets]
éotiv povos, | [A€]yw, éyd elu per’ adz[od], though neither the cipher 8 nor A€éyw
are very satisfactory (but cf. ii. vecto g for a number in the text written in
figures). With regard to the last part of the Saying ‘Raise the stone, &c.,
we do not think that the pantheistic meaning is in itself either probable or
relevant to the context, though it might have been imported into it at a later
period when the original meaning had been lost sight of. We incline to the
view that raising the stone and cleaving the wood are meant to typify the
difficult work of life, see Heinrici (Theol. Literaturzeitung, Aug. 21, 1897); but
we are of opinion that the reference to Ecclesiastes x. 9, in which Professors
Swete and Harnack find the key to the problem, raises difficulties greater than
those it can solve. The objections to it have been excellently stated by
Lock (of. cit. p. 24). Though unable to offer any better suggestion, we are
somewhat less confident than we were about the correctness of the reading
éyepov. The o seems to be joined by a ligature to the preceding letter, which
we should therefore expect to be o rather than p. But the apparent ligature
might be accounted for by supposing that the o was badly written.
Alone of restorations Swete’s akovers [elis 1d @v @tlov ood rd [8& Erepoy
ovvéxeroas (or some such word) in the eighth Saying is quite convincing. The
sense is ‘Thou hearest with one ear, but the other thou hast closed, i.e. ‘thou
attendest imperfectly to my message.’
Lastly, with regard to the questions of origin and history, we stated in our
edition our belief in four points: (1) that we have here part of a collection of
sayings, not extracts from a narrative gospel; (2) that they were not heretical ;
(3) that they were independent of the Four Gospels in their present shape ; (4)
that they were earlier than 140 A.D., and might go back to the first century.
These propositions, especially the first, have, as is natural, been warmly
disputed. Attempts have been made to show that the ‘Logia’ were extracts
from the Gospel according to the Egyptians (Harnack), the Gospel according to
the Hebrews (Batiffol), or the Gospel of the Ebionites (Zahn); and Gnostic,
mystic, Ebionite, or Therapeutic tendencies, according to the point of view, have
been discovered in them. On the other hand our position has received the
general support of critics such as Swete, Rendel Harris, Heinrici, and Lock ;
and so far the discussion has tended to confirm us in our original view.

4 THE OXYRAYNCHUS PAPYRI
II. Sr. Mattruew’s GosPet, Cu. I.
Plate I ( frontispiece’. 14-7 X15 cm.
Part of a sheet from a papyrus book, which had been folded originally to
make two leaves. Of one of these only a small portion is left, containing on the
recto the beginnings of three lines written in good sized uncials :—
€reN|
TIAP[
MHT[
The other leaf, which is tolerably complete and is written on both sides in
a smaller and probably different uncial hand, with an occasional tendency
towards cursive, contains vv. 1-9, 12, 14-20 of the first chapter of St. Matthew's
Gospel. This papyrus was found near that containing the ‘ Logia, a day or
two afterwards. Though the writing is somewhat later in style than that of the
‘Logia,’ there is no likelihood of its being subsequent to the beginning of the
fourth century, and it may with greater probability be assigned to the third.
It may thus claim to be a fragment of the oldest known manuscript of any part
of the New Testament.
The part preserved consists mainly of the genealogy, and the variants are
not many, nor important, being chiefly found in the spelling of the proper
names. So far as the papyrus goes, it tends to support the text of Westcott
and Hort against the Textus Receptus. The common biblical contractions
IC, XC, YC, TINA, KC, examples of which already occur in the ‘ Logia, are also
found here. A stop occurs in line 17 of the verso, and a rough breathing in
line 14 of the vecfo. An apostrophe is occasionally placed after foreign names
and the diaeresis over iota is common. The two sides of the leaf containing
the St. Matthew are numbered a and 8, and it is noteworthy that the verso is
uppermost.
As the arrangement in the quire of the two leaves forming the sheet is
wholly uncertain, the question what relation, if any, the beginnings of the three
lines on the other leaf have to the St. Matthew fragment cannot be determined.
The difference in the handwriting and the greater margin above the three
broken lines distinguish them from the text of St. Matthew, though they may
have formed a title of some kind.
A facsimile of the verso is given in the frontispiece. The condition of the
recto is not so good, the writing being entirely effaced in some parts.

THEOLOGICAL j
To sum up the results of the collation, the papyrus clearly belongs to the same class as
the Sinaitic and Vatican codices, and has no Western or Syrian proclivities. Except in
the cases where it has a reading peculiar to itself alone, the papyrus always agrees with
those two MSS. where they are in agreement. Where they differ, the papyrus does not
consistently follow either of them, but is somewhat nearer to the Vatican codex, especially
in matters of spelling, though in one important case (rod d€ "Ijcod Xpiorov) it agrees with the
Codex Sinaiticus.

V. Earty CHRISTIAN FRAGMENT.
I2X11I-4 cm.
Fragment of a Christian homily or treatise on the spirit of prophecy. The
papyrus, which is a leaf out of a book, is written in a good-sized informal uncial
hand of the late third or early fourth century. The ordinary biblical contractions
The recto is in much better condition than the verso, the
top layer of which has to a considerable extent peeled off.

VII. Sappuo.
Plate II. 19-7 x 9-6 cm.
Part of a poem in Sapphics written in the Aeolic dialect. Portions of
twenty lines are preserved, a foot and a half being lost at the beginning of each
line, besides occasional lacunae. In spite of its mutilated condition, however,
enough remains of the poem to determine its subject and authorship with
tolerable certainty. The reference to the poet’s brother who is returning home
across the sea (stanza 1), the tone of gentle reproach for some misdeed com-
mitted by that brother in the past which the poet now wishes to bury in
oblivion, the dialect and metre, the obvious antiquity of the poem as shown by
the presence of the digamma in line 6, the resemblances in thought and phrase
to the known fragments of Sappho—combine in favour of the hypothesis that we
have here part of an ode addressed by Sappho to her brother Charaxus.
Charaxus (Hdt, ii. 135; Strab. xvii. p. 808; Athen. xiii. p. 596; Suid. vv.
Aicwzos and "Iddumv, and especially Ovid, Her. xv. 63 sqq., 117), who was a trader
in Lesbian wines, conceived a violent passion for the famous courtesan,
Rhodopis, then a slave at Naucratis. He went to Egypt, ransomed her, and
spent all his substance on her maintenance. When he returned to Lesbos,
Sappho gave vent to her indignation in verse. Charaxus, if we may believe
Ovid, Zc., was on his side not less incensed, and resumed his occupation as
a trader, rejecting all the subsequent advances made by Sappho for a recon-
ciliation. We conceive the fragment to be one of these vain appeals offering
to forget the past.
The papyrus is written in a good-sized square slightly sloping uncial

which we should assign to the third century. Cf. Plate II with Plate VI,
the Plato papyrus written before 295. Apostrophes marking elision, stops,
accents, and marks of quantity are occasionally inserted. Jota adscript is
written once, omitted 4, perhaps 5, times. The omission is usual in papyri of this
date and in later Aeolic inscriptions, but Sappho herself must have written it.

The following brilliant restoration we owe to Professor Blass, to whom also
most of the notes are due. We give a rather literal verse translation. At the
beginning of the poem Blass thinks that not more than one stanza is lost, and
that line 20 of the papyrus may have been the last.

‘Sweet Nereids, grant to me
That home unscathed my brother may return,
And every end, for which his soul shall yearn,

And thou, immortal Queen,
Blot out the past, that thus his friends may know
Joy, shame his foes,—nay rather, let no foe
By us be seen!
And may he have the will
To-me his sister some regard to show,
To assuage the pain he brought, whose cruel blow
My soul did kill,
Yea, mine, for that ill name
Whose biting edge, to shun the festal throng
Compelling, ceased awhile; yet back ere long
To goad us came.’
1. The poem probably began with an invocation to Aphrodite, who no doubt is the
goddess addressed in 5, auSpore.

Charaxus is the subject of yéver@a.
6. The only other place where the digamma is found in a papyrus is in the Paris
fragment of Alcman, 6.
10. The restoration of this stanza is much more difficult than that of the preceding
two. dviay \vypay can be accusative singular or genitive plural. Blass prefers the latter
alternative, making érow: agree with it. There is but one instance for érov, ér@ etc. used
with a feminine antecedent, Eurip. /pf. 7m Taur. 1071 pytpos marpés re Kal Téxvev 6Tw Kupel,
a verse which Dindorf cancels. For mdpo6 dyetav, zapoba xetov could be read, but with
what sense?
12. EAAJMNA: cf. Sapph. i. 3 pyr’ éviacor Sapva, rérma, Odpor.
13-14. There is no instance of «jp in Aeolic; Pindar has the form xéap, but jp in
place of gap is an Aeolic spelling. The dveidipa is of course Charaxus’ relations with
Rhodopis.

VIII. Atcman?
Plate If. 6-1 x 10:9 cm.
Fragment containing seven hexameter lines, four of them practically
complete. The jparagraphus accompanied by a marginal flourish at line 4
marks the beginning of a new poem, as it does in the Bacchylides papyrus.
The dialect is a mixture of Aeolic and Doric such as is found in Alcman, to
whom Blass would attribute the authorship of the fragment. The Aeolic forms
are the a. and os in zatcae and éxoloa: (cf. évOoica in the Paris fragment of
Alcm. 73), the doubling of the p in &upaza, and -ouey instead of -opes in 7vOoper.
The form -owes is indeed found in the Paris fragment 10, sapjoopes ; but 7vOopes
és would have produced an intolerable cacophony. Doric forms are the v for A
in 7vOopuev, €aooat, moTeotKOTas ; and all the accents used are Doric. The digamma
is once retained—though not written—but thrice dropped. In the fragments of
Alcman’s lyric poems it is often neglected, as it is by the Lesbian poets, but
there is not enough left of his hexameters to show what principle he followed
in them.
Accents, apostrophes marking elision, and marks of quantity are used
occasionally, as in the Sappho fragment. The papyrus is written in a small neat
round uncial of the latter part of the first or of the second century.

third letter is F there should be some trace of the vertical stroke, which there is not; and
therefore T or, less probably, TT are preferable. AIT[NAC does not seem very suitable,

IX. ARISTOXENUS PYOMIKA CTOIXEIA.
Plate III. 22-7 x 43-5 cm.
The following text is a fragment of a treatise upon metre. Parts of five
columns are preserved; but of these the first has but a few letters at the ends
of the lines, and although the following three are practically complete so far as
they go, the last only has its full complement of lines. Enough however
remains to give a fairly connected sense; and to leave little doubt that the
writer was the chief authority of antiquity upon this subject, Aristoxenus of
Tarentum. Of his principal work on metrical theory, the puOpcxa orovyeta in
three books, the beginning of the second book has been preserved ; and stylistic,
linguistic and technical affinities all tend to show that our fragment belongs
to this treatise. The ‘Aristoxenian Cretic,’ for instance (cf. Schol. Hephaest.
p- 173, Gaisf.), consisting of a double trochee—the converse of the ddxrvdos kar’
tayBov or double iambus, cf. Col. V. 12—figures at the beginning of Col. II. As
a peculiarity in language the preference of € to o in the spelling of ovv and its
compounds, which is traceable in all that survives of Aristoxenus and is par-
ticularly prominent in the present text, calls for special mention. Other points
of contact will be noted as they occur. When to such considerations is added
the general resemblance in style—which is more to be felt than described—the
identification assumes, if not certainty, at least a high degree of probability.
The subject of Columns II and III is the occurrence in various metres of
‘syncope. ‘The long syllable (-) is of course ordinarily equivalent to two time
units (Uv); but by ‘syncope’ it may be under certain conditions lengthened to
the value of three or more. The metrical signs usually employed to represent
such a lengthened syllable are wu orLwu , according as it is augmented byone, two,
or three time units. The use of this figure, which is equally common in modern
poetry, is here illustrated by quotations from lyric poems. These quotations
form one of the chief features of interest in the fragment. They have a common
feature in their Dionysiac character, which suggests that they were derived from
Dithyrambs or Satyric Dramas. In Column IV the paeon is treated of in
reference to the resolution of long into short syllables; but the connexion of
NEW CLASSICAL FRAGMENTS 15
this discussion with what precedes and follows is obscured by the mutilation of
the papyrus. In the fifth Column the question is the admissibility of the
forms discussed in Columns II and III (exe vu -and —vu =—0} in dactylic and
anapaestic metres.
The script of this papyrus is a clear, upright uncial (cf. the accompanying
facsimile of Columns IV and V), which we should assign to the first half of the
third century. This date is indicated not only by the character of the hand itself,
but also by a semi-uncial document (pp. 77 sqq.) on the verso, which can hardly
be later than about the year 320. A number of corrections have been made in
the manuscript by a second, though not much later, hand, to which is due the
single accent that occurs (III. 16). Sentences are marked off by marginal para-
graphi, which, as in the Thucydides papyrus (No. xvi), are usually, though not
invariably, combined with blank spaces in the text.
In editing this fragment we have received much help from Prof. Blass, to
whom we are indebted for a number of readings, for the more considerable
supplements, and to a large extent for the explanatory notes.

Col. II. ‘These then are the rhythms most appropriate to such a cadence. It may
also be employed by the “ Iambic-dactyl,” in which the syllables composing the cadence are
placed with reference to its beats in the reverse position to that which they occupied in the
cretic. The metrical basis upon which the system proceeds will be the iambus. For
— vy = v—- = v - v- Vv - v - Vv
example :—‘“‘ Where the fields | which decay | not nor fade | receive in their | embrace by

sha|dy woodland deeps | delicate | maiden-throngs | celebrat\ing Bacchus.” Here the
cadence is used as we have described in the first three feet, and also in three other feet
Lv = ee - ce v = = Se
further on. Again :—“ Who soe’er | pleasure takes | in good cheer | and the dance.” But
this rhythm is not used for long in a system of this kind. Such a cadence may be
employed....
Col. III. [Similar to the “Iambic-dactyl” is] the form [called the baccheic], though
v Vv - -v v vu v
it shows variations of rhythmic scheme in the lines:—‘ To the Hours | cherished de|light to
— v -

‘« All-revered | god, a chaste | mother’s child | , hers who of old | was in the wealth|teeming
Vv ad -vv J L= Vv = -
renowned | city of Thebes | born to Cad|mus.” The same cadence may be employed by
the iambus, though it is less graceful than when used by the baccheus, for the single beat
is more appropriate to a trochaic rhythm than to the iambus. For instance, in the lines :—
LL v - v - v - = v - v v Vv v - LK
“‘On|ward, on|ward now, | ye maids, || Come | ye speed|ing on to | the front. || Who
v -_ Vv -— Vv - Vv - Vv - Vv -
then can | that maijden be? || With | what grace | about | her flows ||...!” the syncope
occurs at intervals of three feet, so as to produce a kind of period. These usages....
Col. IV. .... three short syllables. The same account holds good of the paeon.
For this too may consist of five component syllables, and therefore, evidently, of five
short ones also. A continuous use would not be made of such a rhythm; for its character
is quite alien to the paeon and the feet previously mentioned. It might, however, be
used if its especial appropriateness in combination with other feet should commend it,
though, as a general rule, owing to the difficulty previously raised, it is perhaps better to
NEW CLASSICAL FRAGMENTS 19
leave untried uses which exhibit mixed rhythms not approved by common taste. Else
why should this [cadence] not be employed [? by the dacty] and anapaest.... ?
Col. V. That such a rhythm] will ay proximate to the anapaestic form is fairly clear.
But what is there to prevent the use of the reverse form, in which the first syllable has the
longest time, the second the shortest, and the third a mean between the two? It is evident
that this same question may also be put with regard to the cadence which is the reverse of
the four-beat cretic. For why should not either two iambic feet with different tempo be
used, or two trochaic feet....? Concerning this form the foregoing account will be
sufficient ; for that the unnatural arrangement of the syllables does not enter a dactylic
system may be easily gathered from what has been said. The four-beat cadence beginning
with a short syllable, being of iambic type, is from the nature of its rhythms appropriate
to the iambus. The... forms of this cadence are .. ., so that it is not easy to meet with
a continuous use of them.’

2. AE=ZEWC: i.e. the Aeéts tpiypovos — v —, one of the long syllables having the value
of one long and one short syllable.
3. AAKTYAOC O KATA IAMBON: Corrected by the second hand from |AMBOC O KATA
AAKTYAON, Sdkrvdos kata tapBoy is the Aristoxenian term for u—-wu—; v. Aristides zepi

4. TIEPI|EXOYCODN: i.e. the three syllables of which the Aéés consists; cf. 1V. 3.
In the cretic measure of three instead of four syllables, the lengthened syllable is placed
last (— uv L); in the éd«r. xara tap. it stands first (Lu —-). Cf. V. 3 sqq.

metrical basis was the trochee.
14. AEXONTAI: scanned u — —, the catalectic form of v-u-—.
15. TENTE TIPWTOI!: transposed by the corrector; cf. 1V. 15. An earlier instance of
this method of indicating a transposition by the use of the letters a and @ occurs in the
Thucydides papyrus (No. xvi).
20. AYTHI: |, which was originally omitted, may have been inserted by the first hand.
III. 1. Blass suggests that the sentence may have run :—€ore d€ mapdpooy 7H Saxtvdr@
T@ kata tapBov 76 Kata Baxxeiov (Or Baxxeraxdv) Kadovpe |yov eidos x.7.4. We learn from the later
writers on metre that Baxyeios was the name given by the ‘ musici’—by which term they
allude especially to Aristoxenus, v. Blass in Weuwe Jahrb. f. Philol., 1886, p. 451—to the
choriambus (— uv vu -); cf. Caesius Bassus 268, 21, Mar. Victor. 149, 32. In Aristides zept

g. TTOAYOABIOIC. The reading of the first hand, TOAYOABOICIN, gives a very bad
rhythm in the last foot but one. The correction TOAYOABIOIC will make the last foot (-Biors
O7nBais) a Baxxeios ard iduBov (o——v) instead of a Bakxetos amd rpoxaiov ; cf. note on III. 1.
Perhaps TOAYOABOICI is the true reading, in which case the scansion will be as follows :

cbeprarov | Saipov, ay|vas TEKOS | pratepos, ap | Kadpos eyev|vare TOT €V | Tals mohvod|Bouce ©n|Bats.
There will then be syncope in the penultimate foot as well as in the first three.
10. O IAMBOC. There is here a distinction (which applies equally to the cretic as
opposed to the trochee) between tapBos and Sakrudos xara tapBov, The Sdervdos kara tapBov
is measured by dipodiae, the iapBos by monopodiae (1. -v—-|v—%-—| as opposed to
v-|[v—-|v—-|o-|). Cf V. 25 sqq.
12. MONOXPONON: a foot, or part of a foot, has only one xpévos when it consists of
a single syllable.
13. TPOXAIKOY. Not rpoxatov, because Aristoxenus is speaking of the first half of
the choriambus (or, as he calls it, baccheus), not of the trochee fer se.
15. BATE: the scansion is t| 4 —|v vv|v —| repeated three times.
16. NEANIC: Dionysus? Cf. Aeschylus fr. 55 (ap. Aristoph. Zhesm. 134 sqq.)

19. =YNZYTIAI: In Aristides (of. c’#. 36 sq.) évgvyia is the term used for a combina-
tion of two feet, as for instance that of the trochee and iambus in the choriambus. Here,
however, it can only mean the combination of two xpévor, elsewhere distinct, into one syllable,
i.e. Syncope.

IV. 1. WN, which begins the column, is probably the termination of rpjav. There
is an apparently meaningless slightly curved vertical stroke above the @ of [H]JMI[CE]OON.
2. TIAIWNOC: the paeon ordinarily consists of a combination of one long and three
short syllables, in any order. There is also the masdy émards (Aristides op. c7?. 38 sq.) of
five long syllables, to which Aristoxenus here seems to refer (ék mévre mepiexdvrwv Svvurat
EvytibecOa), before proceeding to note the form consisting of five shor¢ syllables.
3. TIEPIEXONTOON : sc. xpévev; cf. II. 4, note.

TTPOJEKKEIMENHN : exxeto@ac occurs in this sense in Aristox. pudp. croy. 8 298.
17. EATEON: Aristoxenus seems to have been very fond of verbal adjectives.
22. Blass would complete the sentence A¢céet kal tov Sdxrvdov i) Tov dvamacrov; cf. V.
V. 1. As the context shows, the subject to be supplied is a Aéés of the form -—v 4.

9: HAYTH A[YTJH: cfliherosan.
10. THN ANTIKEIMENHN A. : i.e. the Sdxrudos kara tapBov. We gather from this that
in the latter part of the previous column the possibility of the use of — uv — vu instead of
a dactyl or anapaest was discussed.
13. The overwritten C (which owing to a thickened top looks more like €) may have
NEW CLASSICAL FRAGMENTS aI
been written by the first hand. With iapScois supply xpdvors (sc. xpdvors cuvOérous, cf. pvOp.
orox. 8 284); i.e. v — (thesis) u — (arsis).
14. TI[.].[-.JNOOMENHN : Blass suggests 2| erv«|vouéevny, which gives an excellent sense,
and may be right, although the letters EMYK must have been written in rather cramped
fashion to get into the lacuna, and the scant vestiges of the third letter do not suggest TI.
muxvov is the term of Aristoxenus for a sequence of short syllables, cf. puOp. oro. 8 302.
merukv. puOporotta would here mean the use of four separate xpdvo: for the dactyl instead of
three or two (- vv).
15. ATWTHN: ‘Tempo’. If -vu-—v or v—v — were used instead of a dactyl, the
resulting increase in the number of morae (six instead of five) would have to be compensated
by a diminution of time-value, just as the dactyl itself might by a similar variation of
aywyn become equivalent to the trochee.
17. The vestige of a letter visible after the lacuna suits M, TT, or C.
19. Of the traces of letters visible before @ANEPON, the first may be the vertical
stroke of a T or the second stroke of TT or H; the second may possibly be the bottom of €,
though it is rather curved for this letter, being more like O or ©; the third is placed too
close to the second to suit anything well but |. Blass would read yeye[vyras kat tiv rpiypor jov
Sv jv|[ai}riay [ade]ret, cf. AOETOYC, IV. 16; but AOE would barely fill the lacuna.
20. A paragraphus may be lost over the beginning of this line.
22. OE|[CIC: cf. xetoOa in]. 6; but the mutilation of ra eumpoobev renders the meaning
obscure.
24. PA|[NEPA sqq. For the phrase cf. Aristox. dpp. oroy. p.27 Meib. 6 8... rémos

25. sqq. v-v—-|v—v-—| and v-|v—|u—|v-—| are evidently akin. Cf. III. 10,
note.
30. Blass suggests [TA A- HYEHMEJNA (i.e. -—u—), but this supplement would take
up too much space.
32. The doubtful letter after the lacuna is more like Y than T, which is the only
alternative.
33. JY[ may be read instead of ]T[, and possibly JA[ instead of ]M[.

14-4 X 142 cm.
Fragment of a lost comedy containing parts of 20 lines of which the last
g are nearly complete. It is written in a medium-sized upright uncial with a
slight tendency towards cursive forms, and may be assigned to the second or
third century. The colon in line 7 should indicate a change of speaker as in xi
and xxiii, and also in the Geneva fragment of Menander. From this point
onwards the fragment appears to give a monologue of a slave who wishes for
freedom.

XI. Comepy.
17:7 x 17°5 cm.
Parts of two consecutive columns from a lost comedy. The papyrus is
complete at the top and bottom, but the beginnings of the lines of the first
and the ends of those of the second column have been broken away. Under
these conditions it is difficult to make out any connected sense. In 1-42
we have a dialogue between a young man and a confidential friend or tadaywyds
(cf. TPOP[IMON in 41) concerning a marriage which had been long arranged for
the young man, but which he wishes to break off, having contracted another
and secret engagement. At 43 a fresh scene apparently begins, indicated by
a marginal note containing the new speaker's name. The fragment has several
points of resemblance to the recently-discovered fragment of Menander’s
Tewpyds; see pp. 17, 18 in our edition of it for the characters in that play,
and cf. 44 €€ dypod, 50 ddeApds with 18, 19 of the Tewpyds, odk otda yap tov

NEW CLASSICAL FRAGMENTS 23
€evns in 25 does not suit the xépy in the Tewpyés whom Cleaenetus wishes to
marry. Perhaps, as Blass suggests, this fragment comes from another play of
Menander, with a plot very similar to that of the Tewpyds, just as the story of
his Azdria very much resembled that of his Perinthia.
The MS. is written in a good-sized round upright uncial hand, which is
evidently of an early date. It may be placed with much probability in the
period from 50 to 150 A.D. As in x, the divisions of the dialogue are marked
by acolon. A single high point is used to mark a pause. Accents, breathings,
and marks of elision occur occasionally. All these signs seem to be by the
original scribe.

A, ‘And though you do not say so, how do you think he will bear the present

that he offered to make his daughter your wife. You might say that it was perhaps
well, both for old friendship’s sake and on account of what was then decided, to marry
her. Nevertheless you chose this course. Good. Why then did you afterwards assume
a different character, he has a right to know. You even had part of the dowry in advance.

XII vecto. CHRONOLOGICAL WorK.
201X555 cm.
Six columns from a chronological work giving a list of the chief events in
Greek, Roman, and Oriental history, dated by the Olympiads and archons at
Athens. The portion preserved concerns the years 355-315 B.C.; and the writer
notes events of importance, not only in politics, but in literature and in connexion
with the Olympic games.
The roll containing this treatise has been cut down in order that the verso
of it might be used for some accounts. There is therefore a lacuna at the top
and bottom of each column, but not more than a few lines have been lost in
either case. The accounts on the verso are written in a not very late third cen-
tury cursive hand, so that the writing on the recto, which is in good-sized
sloping uncials, can hardly be later than about 250 A.D. Judging by its general
resemblance to the handwriting of the Plato fragment facsimiled in Plate VI, we
should not put it earlier than 200.
The date of composition can be fixed with tolerable precision. Though the
dating is only by Olympiads and archons, and the consuls are not given, the
mention of events in Roman history, and particularly the reference to the Vestal
Virgins (III. 33-37), preclude an earlier date than B.C. 30; and considering
the date of the manuscript itself the ¢erminus ad quem may be placed at the
end of the second century. To that century we should be inclined to assign
355-4
354-3

the composition in its present form, though if, as is highly probable, it is a com-
pendium of a larger work, that work may well have been written in the century
preceding. The writing of chronologies and chronological compendia was much
in vogue during these two centuries, but the materials are too scanty to attempt
to trace the authorship of our fragment.
As in the case of the recently-discovered piece of the Parian Chronicle,
which covers the period from 336 to 298 B.C., the information given by the
papyrus is rather meagre and frequently too indefinite to afford any new light.
Alexander’s Asiatic campaigns, for instance, are dismissed in four lines, though the
writer is somewhat more detailed when he comes to events which interest him,
as for instance the invasion of Egypt. In its chronology of events relating to
Greek history, the papyrus is generally in accord with the received chronology
until the period following the death of Alexander, when it embarks upon
a system of its own starting from 320-19 as the date of the Lamian war, and
becomes consistently irreconcilable. In its references to Persian and Roman
affairs, the dates are generally divergent from those commonly accepted. A full
discussion of the difficulties is too large a subject to be entered upon here, but
the points of agreement and difference between the papyrus and the received
chronology are briefly stated in the notes.
The scribe, though he wrote a good hand, was very ignorant, witness the
blunders in V. 6 and 13. These and some other mistakes have been corrected
or marked by a different person, who has also added in some places paragraphi,
stops, iotas adscript, and a few notes, in a semi-cursive hand. Some of the
paragraphi and stops are due to the original scribe.

I. 1-7. ‘In the archonship of the second (?) of these (Callistratus, 3
Dion (?) was murdered by Dionysius the tyrant. In the archonship of
TA AIEA[EZATO TIOAYTIEP
55-4), at Syracuse,
the third (Diotimus,
354-3) the Tiburtines were reduced by the Romans to submission,’
however fairly regular, and so [TETAP is not at ali likely.
The preceding lines, therefore, must refer to the
30 TRAE (OXYRAYNCHUS PAPYRE
Olympiad. If KATA in 1. 1 refers, as is probable, to the archon, then A€Y|TEPON is
much more likely than TTPWTON, since the only possible divisions, TON| TIPGTON or
TON TIPQ)|TON, do not suit the size of the lacunae in J]. 1 and 2. But the real difficulty
concerns the name of the person who, according to the papyrus, was murdered at Syracuse
by Dionysius, probably in the year 355-4. According to Diodorus xvi. 17 and Plutarch
Dion c. 37, Dionysius was expelled from Syracuse in the summer of 356. Does the
papyrus imply that Dionysius was still at Syracuse in 355-4? We should reply in the
negative. Dionysius’ second expulsion is mentioned in II. 6 sqq., and since there is no
mention of his first expulsion in the papyrus, if we were to refer this event in 355-4 to
the period preceding his first expulsion, we should have to suppose that neither his
first expulsion nor the death of Dion were recorded in the papyrus. We should, moreover,
be confronted with the difficulty of finding a name to suit the end of |. 2, and the serious
divergence from the received chronology of Dionysius. It is much more probable that
the writer of the papyrus placed Dionysius’ first expulsion, whether he recorded it or
not, in the period before 355-4, and meant that the assassination took place during his
exile, but at his instigation. Now by far the most eminent person who was assassinated at
Syracuse about 355-4 was of course Dion, and as his name just suits the lacuna we
have placed it in the text. It is true that Diodorus (xvi. 31), states that he was murdered
ert apxovtos Avoripov, i.e. iN 354-3; but this divergence between the papyrus and Diodorus
only amounts to one year, and need cause no special difficulty. A more serious objection
to our hypothesis is the fact that the murder of Dion is always attributed to Callippus,
and Dionysius is not known to have been in any way concerned in it. But on the
other hand it is not recorded that Dionysius assassinated any one of eminence at this
period, and since he ultimately regained his throne owing to the death of Dion, the story
of his responsibility for that event is not unnatural.
4-7. On the date of the submission of the Tiburtines cf. Livy vii. 19, who also places
it in the year 354 B.c.
7-15. ‘In the ro7th Olympiad Smicrinas of Tarentum won the foot-race. The
archons at Athens were Aristodemus, Thessalus, Apollodorus, Callimachus. In the
archonship of Apollodorus (350-49) ....
g. Either CTAQ[IOJN CMIKPI[NJAC or CTAA[IJON MIKPI[NA]C can be read. Diodorus
xvi. 37 gives the name as Smicrinas; Africanus ap. Euseb. “EAA. od. 42, aS Micrinas.
13-15. The event recorded appears to be some novelty introduced in connexion
with the course at Olympia. [ravrns xara 16] rptrov €|[ros . . . might equally well be read.
16-24. ‘In the ro8th Olympiad Polycles of Cyrene won the foot-race. The archons
at Athens were Theophilus, Themistocles, Archias, Eubulus. In the first year of this
Olympiad (348-7) Plato the philosopher died, and Speusippus was his successor at
the school.’
22. The date here assigned to Plato’s death agrees with the statements of Apollodorus
ap. Diog. Laért. v. 9, and Athenaeus v. 217 b.
II. 1-11. ‘In the rogth Olympiad Aristolycus of Athens won the foot-race. The
archons at Athens were Lyciscus, Pythodotus, Sosigenes, Nicomachus. In the second
year of this Olympiad (343-2) Dionysius, the second tyrant of Sicily, was deposed, and
sailed to Corinth, where he remained teaching letters.’
2. APICTOAYKOC: K is converted from X. Diod. xvi. 69 calls him ’Apiorédoyos.
5. The remark at the side, kdérw, addressed to the reader, and the insertion of 8¢,
show that at the bottom of the column some event occurring in the year 344-3 was
added by the corrector. Cf. xvi, III. 3, where vo refers to an insertion in the margin
at the top of the column.
6. The date of Dionysius’ deposition agrees with that of Diodorus xvi. 69, 70.

11-17. ‘In the archonship of Nicomachus (341-0) Bagoas the eunuch murdered
Ochus, king of Persia, and set Ochus’ youngest son, Arses, upon the throne, retaining
all the power in his own hands.’ The dating of Persian events in the papyrus
(cf. III. 1-7, the accession of Darius Codomannus in 338-7) differs somewhat widely
from the received chronology. The Ptolemaic Canon places Arses’ accession between
Nov. 15, 338, and Nov. 15, 337, and Darius’ accession between Nov. 15, 336, and
Nov. 15, 335- This is confirmed both by Arrian ii. 142, who quotes the substance
of a letter from Darius to Alexander implying that the expedition of Philip in 336 was
to be directed against Arses, and, to some extent, by Diodorus, who states (xvii. 5, 6)
that Arses was killed in the third year of his reign, and that Darius succeeded him
‘about the time at which Alexander succeeded Philip. A few lines later, however
(xvii. 7), Diodorus speaks of Darius’ accession as having taken place Jdefore the death
of Philip in the summer of 336, so that there is a contradiction, though not a very
serious one, between Diodorus and the Ptolemaic Canon. But the papyrus goes far
beyond the view of Diodorus that Philip and Darius were for a time contemporary
rulers; for by putting the accession of Darius in the same year as the battle of Chaeronea,
it makes the period during which Philip’s reign overlapped that of Darius as much as
two years. With regard to the length of Arses’ reign, the papyrus is consistent with
Diodorus and the Canon. But in the dates which it assigns to the accessions of Arses
and Darius there is a divergence from both these authorities of two, if not three, years,
A further discrepancy between Diodorus and the papyrus occurs in III. 3, where the
brothers of Arses are said to have been put to death along with him. Diodorus xvii, 5
states that they were put to death on the accession of Arses.
18—28. ‘In the rroth Olympiad Anticles of Athens won the foot-race. The archons
at Athens were Theophrastus, Lysimachides, Chaerondas, Phrynichus. In the archonship
of Theophrastus (340-39) the Samnites fought against the Romans. In the archonship
of Lysimachides (339-8) the Latins united in revolt (?) against the Romans and attacked
them.’
23. It is unfortunate that most of the notices of Roman history are either rather
vague cr more or less mutilated. The war between the Romans and Samnites referred
to inthe present passage must be the First Samnite War,which according to Livy (vii. 29-31)
began in 343 and ended in 341. The battle apparently referred to here was probably
that at Mount Gaurus or at Suessula, both of which Livy places in the first year of
the war. There may thus be a discrepancy of two or three years between the papyrus
and Livy.
25. The Latin revolt took place according to Livy viii. 3 in 340, after peace had
been concluded with the Samnites; but his account of events in this period is of very
doubtful value. The papyrus brings the date of the Latin rebellion closer to the Samnite
war, and places it a year later than Livy, according to whom (viii. 11) the principal battle
took place at Trifanum in the consulship of T. Manlius Torquatus and P. Decius Mus
(340). This is perhaps the event referred to the year 338-7 by the papyrus in ILI. 7-8.
Diodorus xvi. 90 places the battle in the same consulship as Livy, corresponding, on
his reckoning, to the archonship of Phrynichus (337-6). Livy tells us that the war
dragged on for two years after the battle of Trifanum, the Latin states being subdued
gradually.
Between 338 and the Second Samnite War, the papyrus notes a scandal concerning
the Vestal Virgins (III. 33-37) in 336-5 (again a year in advance of Livy’s date), the
expedition of Alexander the Molossian (1V. 17-20), which it places six years later than
Livy, and some event occurring in 333-2, the nature of which is obscure owing to the
lacunae. In the references to the Second Samnite War (VI. 12-14, 21-25) the papyrus
32 PAE “OXY RAVNCHUS IPAPYRI
is as usual one or two years in advance of Livy. How far the apparent divergences
in the dates of individual events between the writer of the papyrus and Livy are due
to the former really placing the events in different years, how far to some flaw in his
system of synchronizing Roman with Greek events, must remain uncertain, since we know
neither what were the sources of these references in the papyrus to Roman history, nor
whether they were based, like Livy’s, on the system of dating by consuls. We can
however, by comparing the intervals between the different events of the series recorded by
both the writer of the papyrus and Livy, gauge to some extent the difference between their
views of Roman chronology. The interval between the First Samnite War and the Latin
revolt is only one year according to the papyrus, while according to Livy it is three.
With regard however to the intervals between the Latin revolt and the scandal concerning
the Vestals, and between that event and the Second Samnite War, the papyrus is in
agreement with Livy. It is in reference to the date assigned to the expedition of
Alexander the Molossian that there is the clearest divergence.
II, 28—III. 8. ‘In the archonship of Chaerondas (338-7) Philip king of Macedon
defeated the Athenians and Boeotians in the famous battle of Chaeronea, being assisted
by his son Alexander who greatly distinguished himself. In the same year Isocrates
the orator died aged about ninety... years...... Bagoas the eunuch killed Arses
king of Persia together with his brothers, and set Darius son of Arsamus, of the royal
house, on the throne in his place. In the same year the Romans took the field against
the Latins.’
28-37. The dates assigned by the papyrus to the battle of Chaeronea and the
death of Isocrates are the usual ones. ‘Thebes and Athens supplied the principal con-
tingents to the Greek army, but other states, e.g. the Phocians and Achaeans, were
represented.
36. Cicero Senec. 5. and Dionysius p. 537 state that Isocrates was ninety-eight
when he died. The writer of the papyrus appears to have been uncertain as to his
exact age.
Ill. 1-7. Cf. note on II. r1-17. In line 1 the supplement BA]I[QAC O €] barely
fills the lacuna.
4-8. Cf. note on II. 25.
9-13. ‘In the archonship of Phrynichus (337-6) an assembly of the Hellenic con-
federacy appointed Philip general with absolute powers to carry on the war against
Persia.’
This date agrees with Diodorus xvi. 89.
III. 13—IV. x. ‘In the 111th Olympiad Cleomantis of Clitor won the foot-race.
The archons at Athens were Pythodelus, Fuaenetus, Ctesicles, Nicocrates. In the archon-
ship of Pythodelus (336-5) Philip king of Macedon was assassinated by Pausanias, one
of his bodyguard, and was succeeded by his son Alexander. He on his accession first
subdued the IIlyrians, Paeonians, and other foreign tribes which had revolted. Afterwards
he captured Thebes by assault and razed it. At Rome the priestesses of Vesta being
perpetual virgins were accused of inchastity and...’
21. On the date of Philip’s death cf. Diod. xvi. 91, and Arrian i. r. From this point
we have also the testimony of the newly-discovered fragment of the Parian Chronicle
(Athen. Mittheil. xxii. 1), which gives a chronological epitome much resembling that of the
papyrus.
29. The expedition against the Illyrians and Paeonians took place in the spring of
the archonship of Pythodelus (335) according to Arrian i.1. While Alexander was engaged
in this war Thebes revolted, and was captured about the time of the Mysteries at Athens
NEW CLASSICAL FRAGMENTS 33
(Arrian i. 10, 2, Plutarch A/ex. 13), i.e. in October, 335, at the beginning of the archon-
ship of Euaenetus, not in that of Pythodelus. The Parian Chronicle assigns both the
expedition and the capture of Thebes to the year of Euaenetus.
33. This no doubt refers to the scandal recorded by Livy viii. 15, who however places
it in the year 337, and states that only one Vestal was concerned.
IV. 1-7. ‘In the archonship of Euaenetus (335-4) Alexander king of Macedon
crossed over into Asia and defeated the generals of Darius king of Persia in the battle of
the Granicus.’
According to Plutarch Cam. 10 the battle of the Granicus took place in Thargelion
(May), i.e. at the end of Euaenetus’ archonship. The Parian Chronicle puts it in that of
Ctesicles.
8-20. ‘In the archonship of Ctesicles (334-3) the same Alexander fought a battle
against Darius at Issus in Cilicia and again defeated him, slaying many thousands of the
Persians and their allies, and taking many prisoners and much spoil. In the same year
Alexander the Molossian crossed over to Italy to help the Greeks in that country.’
8. According to Arrian xi. 11 the battle of Issus was fought in Maimacterion (Novem-
ber) in the archonship following that of Ctesicles, and Diod. xvii. 33 also places it in
the archonship of Nicocrates. ‘The Parian Chronicle however agrees with the papyrus.
17. Justin (xii. 1, 2) places the end of the expedition of Alexander the Molossian and
his death about the same period as the final conquest of Darius, the news of the failure of
the expedition reaching Alexander in Parthia simultaneously with that of the death
of Agis. Justin does not state for how many years Alexander the Molossian had been in
Italy, but from his account we should not infer that the period was a long one. Livy
however (viii. 3, 24) says that the expedition to Italy occurred in 340, and its leader’s
death in 326, which last event he synchronizes with the foundation of Alexandria. The
papyrus thus differs from the chronology of Livy by six years as to the sailing of the
expedition, though it can be reconciled with the chronology of Justin.
20-24. Cf. note on II. 25.
24-36. ‘Inthe rr2th Olympiad (Gryllus) of Chalcis won the foot-race. The archons
at Athens were Nicetes, Aristophanes, Aristophon, Cephisophon. In the first year of this
Olympiad (332-1) Alexander the son of Philip captured Tyre, and took over Egypt, being
welcomed by the inhabitants owing to their hatred of the Persians. In the same year
Alexander ordered (the building of Alexandria?) ....’
The capture of Tyre took place, according to Arrian xi. 24, 6, in Hecatombaeon
(July), at the beginning of Nicetes’ archonship, and the invasion of Egypt followed in the
autumn. With this chronology the papyrus is in agreement. The Parian Chronicle
however places the conquest of Phoenicia and Egypt in the archonship of Nicocrates
(333-2), though it assigns the foundation of Alexandria to the archonship of Nicetes.
V. 1-4. ‘.. .. Alexander went to the temple of Ammon and on the way thither founded
the city of Paraetonium.’
1. Owing to the lacuna it is not certain to which of the two years 332-1 or 331-0 the
writer assigned the expedition to the oasis of Ammon. Arrian iii. 3-6 places it in the
winter of 332-1, and says that Alexander returned to Phoenicia at the beginning of spring.
If the papyrus is still in agreement with Arrian and the expedition to the oasis was placed
in the archonship of Nicetes, there are no events recorded during the archonship of Aris-
tophanes (331-0). The Parian Chronicle also passes over that archonship without
comment. But in the date which it assigns to the battle of Arbela (see below) the papyrus
is a year in advance of Arrian, so that. it is by no means impossible that it assigned the
expedition to the oasis to the year 331-0.
D
34 THE OXVRAVNCHUS “PAPYRI
3. Arrian, who states (v. 3, 3) that Alexander marched along the coast as far as
Paraetonium and then turned inland, says nothing to imply that Alexander founded or
re-founded Paraetonium.
4-14. ‘In the archonship of Aristophon (330-29) another battle took place at Arbela
between Alexander and Darius, in which Alexander was victorious. In the same year
Darius was murdered by his own friends and the Persian empire came to an end, having
lasted 33 (sec) years since its foundation by Cyrus.’
4. The date of the battle of Arbela is fixed by an eclipse of the moon which took
place on Sep. 20, 331, a few days before the battle. Arrian (iii. 15, 7) and Plutarch
(Alex. 31) disagree as to the date in the Attic calendar on which the engagement was
fought, but Arrian correctly states that it was in the archonship of Aristophanes. The
papyrus therefore is a year too late in its date. The Parian Chronicle on the other hand is
a year too early, placing the battle in the archonship of Nicetes (332-1).
g. In its date for the assassination of Darius the papyrus agrees with both Arrian iii.
22. 2 and the Parian Chronicle.
13. The corrector by inserting a critical mark against this line called attention to the
blunder in the figures, as he also did in 17 to the omission of the fourth archon. A very
similar critical sign marks an omission in the Thucydides papyrus (xvi. III. 3). In the
present case it does not appear that the corrector added a note, since there is no reference
to the margin as there was in II. 5. Reckoning from Olympiad 55. 1, the traditional date
of Cyrus’ accession, to the present year, the interval is 230 years. One theory for the
number given in the text, 33, would be to suppose that 200 had dropped out and the number
33 for 30 was either intentional or due to a confusion with the 33 years which in line 32
are stated to be the years of Alexander’s age. But we are more inclined to think that the
whole number 33 here is due to the influence of the coming passage about Alexander,
and that it is therefore useless to conjecture what the original number may have been.
14-23. ‘In the 113th Olympiad Criton, a Macedonian, won the foot-race. The
archons at Athens were Euthycritus, Hegemon, Chremes. In this Olympiad during four
years Alexander performed his other exploits, conquering the Asiatic tribes.’
15. Africanus ap. Euseb. ‘EAX. 6d. 42 calls the Olympic victor Cliton.
17. The critical mark at the side (cf. note on 13) denotes the omission of the archon
for 325-4, Anticles. There was much confusion in antiquity about the archons of the
113th and rr4th Olympiads. Diodorus omits Hegemon, Archippus, and Neaechmus,
and between Anticles and Hegesias inserts another archon, Sosicles. Dionysius, whose list
is more complete, omits Hegesias.
23-33. ‘In the 114th Olympiad Micinas of Rhodes won the foot-race. The archons
at Athens were Hegesias, Cephisophon, Philocles, Archippus. In the first year of this
Olympiad (324-3) king Alexander died, having reigned 13 years, and lived 33 years,’
27. The name of the second archon should be Cephisodorus. Cf. VI. 30, where
(The)odorus is found in place of Theophrastus. ‘The names of the archons, and especially
their terminations, are subject to frequent variations.
Alexander’s death took place on Daisius 28, 323 (Wilcken, PAzlol. 1894, p. 120 ff.).
The length of his life and reign are given more precisely than in the papyrus by Arrian
(vii. 28) on the authority of Aristobulus as 32 years 8 months, and 12 years 8 months.
33-36. ‘In the archonship of Cephisophon (323-2) Ptolemy the son of Lagus was
sent to Egypt and made himself ruler of the country.’
34. Cf. line 8 of the Parian Chronicle which places Ptolemy’s xupievors Aiyérrov in the
same year as the death of Alexander, namely the archonship of Hegemon, but less cor-
rectly, since the death of Alexander took place at the end of Hegemon’s year. As in the
Parian Chronicle, Ptolemy is the only satrap mentioned by the papyrus in connexion with
NEW CLASSICAL FRAGMENTS 35
the first division of Alexander’s empire. Cf. also the use of permdAage in 31 with the word
peradAayn used in the Parian Chronicle for the death of Alexander.
VI. 1-14. ‘In the 115th Olympiad Damasias of Amphipolis won the foot-race. The
archons at Athens were Neaechmus, Apollodorus, Archippus, Demogenes. In the archon-
ship of Neaechmus (320-19) Antipater having succeeded to the kingdom of Macedonia
fought against the Greeks at Lamia and vanquished them. The Romans fought against
the Samnites and were defeated.’
7. The differences which we have hitherto noted between the statements of the papyrus
and the received chronology are trifling compared with the divergence in its account of events
in Greek history from 323 to 316. While the intervals between the Lamian war, the division
of the empire at Triparadeisus, and the death of Antipater, correspond sufficiently well with
the intervals between these events in the chronology of this period, so far as it can be made
out from the Parian Chronicle, Diodorus, and Plutarch, the series in the papyrus starts
with a date three years later than that given by these authorities to the Lamian war. But
amid the many doubtful points in the chronology of events succeeding the death of
Alexander, the date of the Lamian war is one of the few which admit of no question. It
followed immediately upon the death of Alexander, occupying the winter of 323 and spring
of 322. In the date of its starting-point therefore the papyrus has gone considerably
astray. Possibly the occurrence of two archons named Archippus, one in 325-4, the other
in 318-7, may have led to a confusion; possibly the ordinary chronology of the Greek
events has been altered to suit the writer’s chronology of events in Italy, which are twice
referred to by the papyrus between 320 and 316. - But conjectures are of little use, for at
the year 316-5 the papyrus breaks off, and we are left in ignorance of the point at which
the writer brought back his chronology into the ordinary channel.
to. The reference to the Lamian war is somewhat loosely worded. Antipater defeated
the Greeks at the battle of Crannon, which is considerably to the north of Lamia, where he
had been besieged. Polybius however (ix. 29, 2) speaks of this battle as 7 epi Aapiay payn.
12. This must refer to the surrender of the Roman army at the Caudine Forks; cf.
20-25, where the recovery of the prisoners is recorded. Livy ix. 1-7 places the surrender
in 321, the year before the date assigned to it by the papyrus. Cf. note on II. 25.
15-20. ‘In the archonship of Apollodorus (319-8) Antipater, having crossed over into
Asia (to attack?) Perdiccas, made the second division of the empire among Alexander’s
successors, (in which division Ptolemy again took part’ added by the corrector, who puts
a critical mark at the side).
15. The crossing over of Antipater and Craterus into Asia is placed in the spring
of 321 (Droysen, /ellen. ii. 115, Niese i. 119) in the archonship of Philocles, the deaths of
Craterus and Perdiccas took place in the summer, if we are to believe Plut. Lumen. 6, and
the division of the empire at Triparadeisus followed at the beginning of the next archonship
(Archippus 321-0). The Parian Chronicle however places the invasion of Asia and the
death of Craterus in the year of Archippus. In the date given to the invasion of Asia by
Antipater and Craterus the papyrus is three years ahead of the received chonology, and two
years ahead of the Parian Chronicle. With regard to the division at Triparadeisus the
papyrus is only two years ahead of the received chronology.
17. The case of [ep6éixka is a difficulty. We should expect émi or zpés with the accusa-
tive, if it is to be taken in connexion with dvaBds, and it is hard to see how Perdiccas can be
connected with the division at Triparadeisus, which took place after his death. Perhaps
CYN should be supplied in 16, and Perdiccas considered a mistake for Craterus.
20. The insertion of Ptolemy’s part in the division by the corrector is noteworthy.
Cf. V. 34, note.
20-25. ‘In the archonship of Archippus (318-7) the Romans fought against the
D2
36 THE OXYRAHYNCHUS PAPYRI
Samnites and proved victorious, recovering all the prisoners who had been captured in the
previous battle.’
20. Cf, Livy ix. 13, who places the recovery of the prisoners in 320, the year after the
batttle of the Caudine Forks. ‘The papyrus makes the interval two years, and is therefore
two years in advance of Livy in its date for the recovery of the prisoners. But cf. note on
18 fare
25-35. ‘In the 116th Olympiad (Demos)thenes the Laconian won the foot-race.
The archons at Athens were Democlides, Praxibulus, Nicodorus, (The)odorus. In the
archonship of Democlides (316-5) (Antipater) died, and was succeeded in the government
by (Polyper)chon....’
27. The name of the winner was Deinomenes according to Diodorus xix. 17. Afri-
canus however (ap. Euseb. “EAA. 6A. 42) calls him Demosthenes.
30. The name of the third archon was Theophrastus according to Diodorus xix. 73
and Dionys. Hal. Denarch. p. 650.
32-35. It is very difficult, if not impossible, to fill up the lacunae on the supposition
that the writer has in this Olympiad reverted to the ordinary chronology. Of the
prominent persons who died about 316-5, Eumenes, Olympias and Xenocrates, none are
suitable. On the other hand, if we suppose that the writer is still three years ahead of the
ordinary chronology, which places the death of Antipater in 319, the restoration is easy.
KA[ in 35 is very likely the beginning of KA[CCANPO.,
2ST LETTER TO A KinG oF MaceEpon.
8-7 X 7-1 cm.
Fragment of a letter written to a king of Macedon, attacking the conduct
of the Thebans. From the manner in which Philip is mentioned in line 12 and
the reference to ‘the dynasty of your ératpou’ the letter would seem to have been
addressed to Antigonus or his son Demetrius Poliorcetes. Since Antigonus had
been the éraipos of Philip and Alexander, they might be called his ératpo. after
he had become king himself. Thebes had been restored by Cassander, the
enemy of Antigonus, so there was much to be said about their offences against
Tv onv Bacirclav. The papyrus is valuable historically in stating definitely
the alliance between the Thebans and Olynthians against Amyntas, the father
of Philip, a fact which makes the seizure of the Cadmeia by the Spartans on
their way to Olynthus much less gratuitous than has been generally maintained.
Cf. Xen. Hellen. v. 2, 15, 34 where the alliance between Thebes and Olynthus is
implied. The authorship of the fragment is a very difficult problem. The style
is thoroughly Isocratean, but who is the imitator ?
The papyrus is written in a medium-sized sloping uncial of the second or
third century. A few corrections which occur are most probably by the first
hand.

The script is a clear upright uncial, which may be assigned to the second

(7.8 cm.) at the top of the column (cf. xviii and xix). This blank space was

Parts of two columns form a collection of atvAeijou or songs for the flute. The
papyrus, which is complete at the bottom, is broken along the top, but there is
a space left above the first two lines which probably therefore formed a com-
plete epigram, though in what metre is uncertain. The other poems consist of
four lines, and, so far as can be judged, are written in a metre which only varies
from the hexameter in having an iambus in the sixth foot in place of a spondee.
This metre is found in late poets, e.g. Lucian Zragopodagra 311 sqq. The
subject of the fourth stanza seems to be the power of music, that of the fifth the
instability of wealth as contrasted with virtue.
The avAeiyou are written on the vecfo in a somewhat irregular sloping uncial
of the third century. The verso contains six lines of accounts in a third century
cursive hand.

The following fragment of the fourth book of Thucydides (chs. 36-41) has
already been published by A. S. Hunt in the Egypt Exploration Fund’s Archaco-
logical Report for 1896-7. For convenience of reference we give here a reprint
of the text together with the critical notes upon it and the description of the
papyrus as there published.
The rule that for purposes of textual criticism papyrus texts posterior to the
Ptolemaic period are comparatively unimportant finds a striking exception in
the case of the present fragment, the excellence of which has been generally
recognized. A number of its readings have been adopted by K. Hude in his new
edition of Thucydides (Tom. I. libr. i-iv, Leipzig, 1898). Discussions of the
variants exhibited by the papyrus will be found in the original publication in
40 TALES OXN Ie VIN CLO S APA PY Ted
the Arch. Report and in articles by Blass (Literarisches Centralblatt, Nov. 13,
1897), van Leeuwen (AZnemosyne xxvi), and Steup (Rhein. Museum f. Philol. \iii. 2).
The fragment contains the greater part of three columns, consisting of from
fifty to fifty-two lines each. The hand is a small, rather irregular uncial, of a
decidedly early type; it may be probably assigned to the first century A.D.
Other marks of age, apart from the formation of the hand-writing, are
the decided slope of the columns to the right, the regular use of the iota
adscript, and the absence of accents, breathings, and marks of elision. A
character like an angular bracket (>) is occasionally used as a supplement at
the end of a short line (e.g. I, 1, 26, II. 38); and the paragraphus is frequently
employed to mark off the sentences, which are also commonly divided from
each other by blank spaces left between them. Otherwise lection signs are rare.
An accent and a breathing occur once in conjunction (I. 2): there is a single
instance of the diaeresis over an initial v (III. 20); and the high point has in
two cases been used at the end of a line to denote a pause. Very possibly
these are all subsequent additions, as may also be the marks, presumably
possessing some critical significance, which are of frequent occurrence in the
margin.
The text is rendered peculiarly interesting by the presence of a considerable
number of double readings. Of these the majority are certainly by the original
scribe, and may be explained either as traditional variae lectiones, or—though
perhaps less probably—as the result of the use of more than one manuscript
by the copyist, who was careful in cases of disagreement to record alternatives.
The other variants, which may be regarded rather as corrections, seem to be due
to a second (probably rather later) hand, which however is in type very similar
to the first and with difficulty distinguishable from it. To this second hand we
attribute the additions in I. 10, III. 3, and the insertion, where it has occurred,
of final v. Possibly II. 22, 43, and III. 2 should be included in the same class,
but this cannot be done with any approach to certainty.
The accompanying collation is based upon Bekker’s Berlin edition of 1821,
from which the supplements have also been made.

is however defended by van Leeuwen, of. cit. |
4. EPYAATTON: for a similar alteration of TT to CC cf. 1. 38; Bekk. reads épvAacoov.
5: MOAIC: v2. MOTIC ; pods, Bekk., with the MSS.
10.. IAONTEC was of course a slip; the correction seems to be by the second hand.
15. MEIKPON: cf. for the spelling OTTAEITAI in II. 42; puxpov, Bekk.
16. METAAG EIKACAI or MEFAAGI IKACAI are equally possible readings.
Only very
EPRAGMENTS OF EXPFANT CLASSICAL AUTHORS 43
slight traces remain of the two letters transcribed as €l in €IKACAI, and with this reading
there is barely room in the lacuna for the iota adscript of METAAWI. There is, however,
no other instance in the fragment of its omission.
23. ACOENEIAI: the supplement hardly fills the lacuna, in which there would be room
for two or three more letters. But the scribe is not sufficiently regular to make it likely
that there was any variation from the MSS. reading.
26. EKPATOYN HAH: the letters B and a which have been added above these two
words indicate that their order could be reversed. 5y is omitted in d andi. A letter (? A)
has been crossed out after AOHNAIOI.
28. It is remarkable that the superfluous 67: before e?, which is found in the MSS. and
read by Bekk., is omitted in the papyrus, which thus bears out the view of H. Stephanus
(Append. ad Script. de Dialect., p. 77), and others. 7
29. ENAWCOYCI: on the analogy of |. 26 there should here be an overwritten B to
correspond with the a above ENAWCOYCI. Probably it has been lost in the lacuna at the
beginning of the line, in which case the meaning was that MAAAON and €NAGCOYC!
might change places.
38. HTTHOEIEN : the dot after the second T has been effaced. For the alternative
spelling cf. 1. 4.
40. BOYAONTAI: BovAowro, MSS., Bekk.
48. ANAKWXHC: so Bekk. with the MSS.; the second spelling ANOKWXHC is
correct.
II. 1. TPOTEPON: so MSS., Bekk. TIPOTEPODN was an easy mistake.
4. EPHIPHMENOY: so the MSS. Of the overwritten letters the Y is uncertain ;
possibly -€l- should be read (cf. 1. 6); or possibly an original €! has been converted (by
the second hand ?) into €Y.
5. TEONEWTOC: the original spelling TEONHOTOC was perhaps due to a remini-
scence of TEONHKOTOC in I]. 2. EPHIPHMENOC: so Bekk. with the MSS.; EPElPH-
MENOC was the commoner spelling in the third and second centuries B.c.
7. NOMIMON: v.Z. NOMON, which is read by the MSS, and Bekk.
g. EAEZEN : €deye, MSS., Bekk. For the original omission and subsequent insertion
of v epedxvorixoy cf. II. 22, 23, III. 14, 26. It has not been added before a vowel in the
case of eixoor, III. 5, 21.
12. HTTEIPW!: a dot over the € may mean that the letter was intended to be deleted ;
but it is more probably accidental, since it is not repeated in |. 17 or |. 2t.
18. The reading of the deleted letter transcribed as H is rather doubtful. There is
no support for it in the MSS. [If read as H,] the second of the two points is effaced ; [or
regarding the second point as preserved, ‘I might be read].
22. For the overwritten v of ATTHTTElAEN cf. KEAEYOYCIN in the following line, and
l. 9, note. Bekk. reads ampyyetdev (and kedevovorv) with the MSS., which give no support to
the variant ATTH TTEAAE(N). of Aakedasponor, MSS., Bekk.
29. The original omission of THN HMEPAN KAI (MSS., Bekk.) after TAYTHN was
apparently due to the repetition of THN. ‘The mistake has been partially rectified by the
insertion of KAI, though with this reading ravrnv must refer to vikra, It is noticeable that
the following words kai tiv émiodcav vixra are omitted in K.
36. AIEAOCAN: so KN; édiSocav, di; dedidocav, Bekk.
42. OTIAEITAI: cf. MEIKPON, I. 1.
43. Ol, here inserted above the line, is read by Bekk. with most MSS. (om. Qe). Its
omission after TETPAKOCIOI would be peculiarly easy.
III. 1. CTAAIA is read by Bekk. with the MSS. The variant CTAAAIA may be
right. The forms ardé.os, cradaios and oradiaios are frequently confused in MSS.
44 THEDSOAY RA YNCHUS PAP YRI
3. ANAPEC EN: so f; avdpes of ev, Bekk. with the other MSS.
The accidental omission before MAXHC of the words éodtopxnOnoav azo tis vavpaxtas
peéxpt ths €v Ti vno@ was of course due to the recurrence of EN THI NHCWI. The missing
words were subsequently written by the second hand in the margin at the top of the column,
and indicated by the curved mark to the left of the line and by the word ave placed over
the point where the omission occurred.
5 CUSOCl: elkoouy, Bekk. with MESSE ch Asser:
6. The O of OI was converted from another letter, perhaps A.
7. ATTHIECAN is the reading of the MSS. and Bekk.; the variant ATTHICAN is a
preferable spelling. [amjaay, Cobet.]
8. A€: the addition of € brings the papyrus into agreement with the MSS. and Bekk.
g. AAOPAI: Adépa, MSS., Bekk.
10. CITOC TIC EN: oiros ev: MSS., Bekk. The loss of TIC after -TOC would be
easy.
11. ENKATEAHPOH : the v.2. here agrees with the reading of FHINbde, which is
followed by Bekk.; éyxareheipO@n vulg.
12. EMITAAHC: ’Emradas, Bekk. with MSS.
14. For the added final v cf. II. 9, note.
16. OI is read by Bekk. with the MSS.
21. EIKOCI: etkoow, MSS., Bekk.; cf. I. 5.
26. EAAHCIN: v has been added above the line as in |. 14, etc.
38. TEONEW]TEC: the papyrus may of course have read TEONHKOTEC with Q.
39. There would be room in the lacuna for KAAOI KAI ATAQOI, the reading of FHQf.
40. HC]JAN: the traces of the letter before N suit A better than €, and so HCAN is
preferable to €lEN. ‘The papyrus stands alone in (apparently) reading the verb.
49. The column contained one more line after this one.

XX. Homer, Itiap Il. 730-828. Plate V.
Twelve fragments, the largest measuring 14:5 x 8cm., from a papyrus con-
taining the second book of the Iliad. Parts of four columns are preserved,
written in a large upright calligraphic uncial. On the verso are some accounts
in a cursive hand of the late second or early third century (v. Plate V). The
Homer on the recto we should assign to the second century. The text agrees
in the main with the vulgate, but there are some variations, including the inser-
tion of a new line (in this position). This shows the influence of the Ptolemaic
manuscripts of Homer, most of which have a number of additional lines (cf.
G.P. Il. iv. pp. 12-13). There are no stops, breathings, elision-marks, accents,
or iotas adscript. We give a collation with La Roche's text.
Col. I. 730-754. Three fragments (a), (2), and (c), containing parts of 730-736 and

772. TIOME[NI: a mistake for women.
Col. IIL. 780-803. Four fragments (/), (¢), (4), (2). The verso of (g) is facsimiled.

first or second century. The apostrophes marking elision are by the first hand ;
the accents, breathings, stops, and marks of quantity may possibly have also
been inserted by the first hand, but more probably they are due to the person
who has added some corrections in cursive. The text is the vulgate. Al

XXII. Sornocres, Oedipus Tyrannus 375-385 and 429-441.
8 X 9-3 cm.
Part of a leaf out of a papyrus book, the verso having lines 375-385 of
Sophocles’ Oedipus Tyrannus, the recto lines 429-441, in both cases nearly com-
plete. The dimensions of the pages and the arrangement of the columns in this
48 LAB AOKY RIN GCHOS: PAP Vaid
MS. are uncertain. If there was another column on the verso after 375-385,
there must have been another column on the recto before 429-441, and then
each column would not have contained more than eighteen lines on an average.
Assuming that the margin at the bottom was about the same as the margin at
the top, this would give a page of about 14x 22cm., which is an unlikely size.
It is more probable that there was no column on the verso after 375-385. This
would give a column of fifty-four lines, and a page nearly 35cm. high by
22 cm. broad, if a column is lost on the verso before 375-385, or by 11cm.
broad if there was only one column ona page. The fragment cannot be part of
an opisthographic roll, since the writing on the verso precedes that on the recto.
The verso (as in the case of the ‘ Logia’ fragment) is numbered at the top pi[.
The volume, therefore, even if it ended with the Oedipus Tyrannus, certainly
consisted of 130 pages, and must have contained considerably more than this
play.
The papyrus is written in a small, round, upright, formal uncial of about
the fifth century, and is thus about six centuries older than the oldest manu-
script of Sophocles. The manuscript has been corrected in several places,
though not always where it ought to have been, by a contemporary who wrote
a less literary hand; but the original readings are often not erased. In two cases
(378, 430) the reading of the corrector is between dots, as in the Thucydides
papyrus (xvi); and here too the corrector not improbably intended his reading
to be only an alternative, not necessarily a correction. Marks of elision
are generally used, and except in 434 (v. note ad /oc.) are by the first hand.
The accents, breathings, stops, and marks of quantity, which occasionally occur,
are apparently due to the corrector. The faragraphi marking a change of
speaker were probably inserted by the original scribe. The variants of the
papyrus, which are nearly all of considerable interest, are discussed in the notes.
The ink used by the scribe and corrector is of the brown colour which came
into common use in the Byzantine period; cf. e.g. the Geneva papyrus of
Menander’s Tewpyds. It has faded considerably in some parts, especially on the
verso. The number at the top of the verso (which is by a third hand) is written
in black ink.

375. OCTIC: the rough breathing in this papyrus tends to become very like the acute
accent, and where the papyrus is rubbed it is impossible to distinguish them. Here and in
383, HN, what we have considered to be the accent may be the rough breathing.
BAEVAI: so apparently the papyrus for BAdya of the MSS. The juxtaposition of épa
probably accounts for the new reading.
376. ME... FE COY: so the MSS. But the sense imperatively requires Brunck’s
emendation o¢é... y €uod. The date when the error crept into the MSS. is thus pushed
back beyond the fifth century.
378. COY: the scribe first wrote TOY, then corrected it to COY. The corrector, how-
ever, inserted the T above the line. The MSS. have ood, but rot makes equally good sense.
Probably here and in 430 the corrector’s reading is an alternative, derived from another
manuscript. A confusion between HC and HT is easily explained, for in the third century
B.c. they would in many hands be hardly distinguishable.
380. TIYPANNI: a mistake for TYPANNi.
E
50 THE OXYRHYNCHUS PAPYRI
385. The scribe seems in copying from a MS. which had TIElCTOCO€=APXHC to
have omitted OC by a natura! blunder.
429. After AHT the corrector apparently inserted ~ instead of the more usual apo-
strophe. The meaning of the A (or a) written by the corrector above the line just before the
lacuna is obscure.
430. The MSS. have ov wadw, which is the reading of the corrector here; but av, the
reading of the scribe, would make good sense. Cf. note on 378.
431. ATOPPOC: a mistake for ayoppos.
434. The scribe wrote CXOAHC?, which was altered by the corrector to CXOAHIC’.
The MSS. have cxodj o’, Suidas cxody y, which was accepted by Porson, who inserted a’
after €novs.
435- mpeis rowois’ MSS., and this was no doubt the reading of the corrector, though he
did not erase the superfluous A€ of the scribe.
XXII. Praro,-Laws, 1X.

underneath which there are traces of three short lines. The writing on the vecéo,
therefore, which is a good-sized square sloping uncial, cannot be later than
the end of the third century. How much earlier it is cannot be determined
with precision, but we should not place it before 200.
The manuscript has been corrected by a contemporary hand (or possibly
by two hands). The stops are in most cases, perhaps all, due to the corrector.

TI. 8. BAJABEN: the MSS. vary between PdaBev and aBraBés. H. adopts the latter,
bracketing tyes.
19. JN: this can hardly be anything else but the termination of TIEIPATEOJN. The
corrector, by inserting metparéov det at the end of the next line, seems to have wished to place
it after xa@corava instead of before it. ‘The MSS. agree in placing it before xabiorava. Cf.
II. 20, where the corrector introduces a novel reading.
II. 7. The dot placed by the corrector over the € of A€ means that the letter was to
be elided; cf. 21, where dots are placed over letters to be omitted.
20. The insertion of pev after dradXarrépevor and the substitution of dé for pév after
mapdderypa are new readings. The MSS. agree with the readings of the first hand.
25. H. with two MSS. omits pév, The size of the lacuna makes it fairly certain that
pev was the reading of the papyrus.
III. 7. ON: &» H. with some MSS.
11. For the double dots marking a change of person, cf. x. introd.
12. TAYTHN, the reading of the first hand (corrected to TAYTON), is due to the

XXV. DemostHenss, De Corona.
9:-5xX8cm. Plate III.
Fragment containing eleven lines from Demosthenes’ De Corona, p. 308,
written in a large thick formal uncial probably in the third century. Accents,
breathings, and marks of elision and quantity appear to be due to the corrector,
who inserted n at the end of line 5, and iotas adscript in lines 3 and 4. At the
top Xs is written in a different (?) hand, probably the number (606) of the
column in a series of rolls containing speeches of Demosthenes. There are no
variations from the Dindorf-Blass text (Teubner, 1885), except that the € of CE€
is not elided in line 4.

5. The corrector objected to the division TTPOC|HKEN, and therefore transferred the
H to the previous line. Words compounded with prepositions, however, generally form an
exception to the rule that a word must not be divided so that a consonant comes at the
end of the line, and a vowel at the beginning of the line following; see note on Rev. Pap.

XXVI. DEMOSTHENES, TIPOOIMIA AHMHIOPIKA, 26—29.
II-5X 52:6 cm. Plate VII.
Parts of seven columns from a manuscript containing the tpooiuia dypnyopikd
of Demosthenes, portions of §§ 26-29 being preserved. The manuscript had
been cut down before the verso was used for writing some accounts, which
are continued also on the vecfo between Columns V and VI. These are written
in a small cursive hand, which is not later than the early part of the third century,
and more probably belongs to the second. The writing on the recto, which is
a medium-sized broad carefully written uncial, may be assigned to the second
century. It bears much resemblance to the writing of the Bacchylides papyrus}!.
Occasional stops and marks of elision, and a few corrections (or alternative
readings), have been inserted in a contemporary or slightly later semi-uncial
hand. The paragraphi and angular signs at the ends of lines are by the original
scribe, to whom it is possible that the insertions in V. 14 and VII. 2 should also
be assigned.
The text of the papyrus is a good one, and in several instances its readings
are an improvement upon those of the MSS. We give acollation with the Dindorf-
Blass edition. Plate VII gives a facsimile of Cols. II and III of the vecto and
part of the accounts on the verso.

1 We should assign the Bacchylides papyrus to a somewhat later date than that which Mr. Kenyon
gives to it. The cursive hand in which the later scholia are written seem to be not earlier than the second
century, and may belong to the third. The MS. itself and the earlier scholia we should assign to the first
or second century A.D. The Ptolemaic characteristics to which Mr. Kenyon refers hardly seem to us to
outweigh the Roman type of some of the letters, and its general resemblance to MSS. of the Roman period.
The shallow forms of v and yw are found in Roman papyri, e.g. in Nos. ix and xvi of the present volume.
The ¢ formed by three unconnected strokes is but a shade more archaic than the ¢ in xxvi, formed by
three separate strokes of the pen, the third stroke joining the second, or than the é of ix, in which the
second and third strokes are formed without the pen being lifted. Moreover, considering (1) the possibility
that the form of ¢ in the Bacchylides papyrus was a conscious archaism (cf. G. P. I. ii, where the
primitive form of ¢, I, is found in a papyrus of the Roman period), and (2) the fact that the archaic forms
of continued to be used in MSS. long after the later form, in which the three strokes are written without
lifting the pen, had come in (it is found as early as the second cent. B.C., cf. e.g. Paris Pap. 1), the form of
é is not in itself sufficient evidence for determining the date,

XXVIII. XenorpHon, Hellenica III. 1.
Fragments of three consecutive columns from a manuscript of Xeno-
phon’s Hellenica. The portion preserved is from the third book, chap. 1,
8§ 3-7. The text is written in a nearly upright square uncial hand, resem-
bling in its general characteristics that of xxvi (cf. Plate VII). In the upper
margin, which as in xiv, &c., is very broad, are some semi- cursive scholia,
which may be by the same scribe. The characteristics of this semi-cursive
writing, as well as that of the more formal hand of the text, incline us to refer
the manuscript to the second century. Iota adscript is commonly written.
Both single and double dots are used to mark a pause in the sense, as well as
the marginal paragraphus. Short lines are filled up by the usual angular sign.

KOC. uci. Wiles:
8-5 X 15:2 cm.
Fragment from the bottom of a column, containing the enunciation, with
diagrams, of Euclid II. 5, and the last words of the preceding proposition.
From the character of the handwriting, which is a sloping rather irregular
informal uncial, this papyrus may be assigned to the latter part of the third or the
beginning of the fourth century. Diaereses are commonly placed over syllabic
. and v. Iota adscript is not written. The corollary of Proposition 4 seems
to have been omitted, while the two lines illustrating the division es toa kai dvica
in Proposition 5 are not found in ordinary texts. Otherwise the papyrus shows
no variants from the text of the Oxford edition of 1703 or that of Peyrard,
beyond the mistake of rerpaywvov for retpayore in l. 9, and the spelling peroév for
peragv in |. 6.

there seems to be no alternative—the corollary of Prop. 4 was omitted. After OPQO-

LATIN 59

XXX. HuistTorIcAL FRAGMENT.
8-6x5 cm. (Recto) Plate VIII.
Part of a vellum leaf from a Latin Codex, containing on the recto the ends
of ten lines, and on the verso, which is much rubbed and faded, parts of
ten more. The occurrence of the names Antiochus and Philippus suggests that
the subject of the composition was the Macedonian wars of Rome; and as the
fragment is not to be found in the extant authorities, it probably comes from
the lost works of some annalist or historian of this period—possibly from the
Flistoriae Philippicae of Trogus Pompeius.
Palaeographically the fragment is very interesting. The prevailing character
of the letters is that known as rustic capital, but there is a small admixture
of uncial forms. Notwithstanding its comparative heaviness, characteristic of
writing on vellum, in its general appearance the hand bears a decided re-
semblance to that of the Herculaneum papyrus fragments on the Battle of
Actium (written before 79 A.D.). Of individual points of contact the most
noticeable are the open P, the broad V, the epigraphic dots between words, and
the accents or apices (possibly by a second hand) upon long vowels. The afer
is most frequently found in inscriptions of the first and the first half of the second
centuries A.D., and it practically ceased to be employed at the end of the third.
Its frequent use in this MS., in common with the Herculaneum papyrus (cf. too
B. G. U. 611), is an indication of a very early date. On the other hand, these
archaic characteristics in the handwriting are counterbalanced by the occurrence
of the uncial forms of D and Q, the tendency to roundness in E, as well as by the
facts that the fragment is from a book and not a roll, and that the material
used is vellum not papyrus. These considerations combined render it im-
possible to refer the fragment to a period earlier than the third century. Words
are not divided at the ends of lines, which are therefore very irregular in length.

The manuscript is written with brown ink (cf. introd. to xxii) in a rather
small upright semi-uncial hand, which may probably be referred to the fifth
century. The height of the page was about 26cm. We give a collation with
Ribbeck’s text (1860).

19:6 X 10-5 cm. Plate VIII.
Letter written to Julius Domitius, a trzbunus militum, by Aurelius
Archelaus, who recommends to the good offices of Domitius a friend named
Theon.
The papyrus offers a good example of the Latin cursive hand of the second
century, to which it may probably be assigned. The writing is very clear and
the comparative absence of linked forms renders it particularly easy to decipher.
There is a distinct tendency to separate words from each other, and occasionally
single points are inserted between them. A similar point is also used after an
abbreviated word, and to mark a pause.

CENTURIES:
XXXIII verso. INTERVIEW WITH AN EMPEROR.
1544-7 cm. Late second century.
The vecto of this papyrus contains four columns of a list of contracts
deposited in the archives of Oxyrhynchus, such as Flavius Titianus ordains to
be made in the succeeding papyrus. The third year of Nero is mentioned, but
the handwriting is not earlier than the second century.
PETERS! FOUR CENTORTES 63
The verso contains five nearly complete columns from a report of proceedings
at Rome before an emperor who is not named, in connexion with an embassy
from Alexandria and a sentence of death pronounced upon one of its members,
Appianus. The general style of the papyrus shows that it is a copy of
a tmouvnpaticpes or official report, examples of which are xxxvii and xl
of this volume. These two, however, are accounts of proceedings before
Egyptian officials; the closest parallels to our papyrus are B. G. U. 511
(Wilcken, Hermes, xxx. pp. 486 sqq.), containing a report of an embassy of
Alexandrian Jews and Anti-semites to the Emperor Claudius, and Paris
Papyrus LXVIII (T. Reinach, Revue des Ctudes juives, 1883, July—Sept.),
a similar report. It has been suggested (Wilcken, Hermes, /.c. p. 497) that such
accounts of proceedings at Rome were based on the imperial commentarii; but
it is more probable that the original of our papyrus, at any rate, was drawn up
from notes taken at the time by one of the embassy who was present, to be used
as the official account at Alexandria; cf. xli,an account of a public meeting,
obviously drawn up by some one who was present. In any case there is no
room for doubting that we have in our papyrus a private copy of a most im-
portant official document, which gives not only a vivid but a faithful presentation
of a remarkably dramatic scene.
With regard to the identity of the emperor there is little doubt. InII. 8
his father is called 6 Ocds “Avtwveivos, who can only be Antoninus Pius; for
though Antoninus by itself was used as a name for several other emperors, ‘divus
Antoninus’ or its Greek equivalent in second century inscriptions and papyri
is always Pius. The emperor therefore who plays the principal part in the
papyrus is either Marcus Aurelius or Verus, more probably the former.
Of the second principal actor in the drama, Appianus, nothing is known
except what we can glean from the papyrus. His name suggests the famous
historian, who was an Alexandrian, held high office in Egypt, and lived on into
the reign of M. Aurelius and Verus. But the Appianus of the papyrus is a man
not past middle life (cf. I. 11, rékvoy) ; and what is known about the historian’s
loyalty renders it impossible to identify him with the contumacious rebel who is
here sentenced to death.
The emperor is seated in council (III. 13) in the presence of a consul
(III. 15) and probably a committee of the senate (IV. 8). In B. G. U. 511 (uv. sup.)
the scene is laid at the gardens of Lucullus and the emperor is aided by
a council of sixteen men of consular rank and twenty-five senators; and the
action described in our papyrus no doubt took place in one of the imperial
palaces at Rome. Before the emperor stands Appianus, a magistrate and
envoy of the Alexandrians, who is under sentence of immediate execution (I. 8).
64 TLE OX VRTLY NGOS CPAP YI
The cause of his incurring this penalty is not stated ; but there is good reason,
as Mr. J. G. Milne suggests, for connecting Appianus’ mission with the revolt of
Avidius Cassius, who proclaimed himself Emperor in 175. According to Dio
Cassius Ixxi. 22, Avidius Cassius was the son of Avidius Heliodorus, praefect of
Egypt in 143; and in I. 7 a Heliodorus is mentioned who is clearly a friend, if
not an accomplice, of Appianus. Dio further states (Ixxi. 23) that Avidius
Cassius had been intriguing with Faustina with a view to seizing the throne
after the death of Marcus; possibly Appianus was an envoy of Cassius sent to
Rome to make plots and there arrested by the emperor. The leniency exhibited
by Marcus towards the conspirators, whose lives he spared (Dio 1xxi. 28), is
quite in accordance with the moderation here displayed by the emperor, who in
the face of the greatest provocation is much more anxious to reduce Appianus
to submission than to put him to death. For constructing the lost beginning of
the papyrus there is little material except the indication in II. 4 that Appianus
had already indulged in violent and disrespectful language.
The report of the proceedings begins in the middle of a speech, I. 1-5,
which is much mutilated ; it is probable that the speaker is the emperor, cf. I. 1
with II. 7. At the end of it Appianus turns to Heliodorus, a friend who was
present, probably the ex-praefect, and appeals to him to intercede for him.
Heliodorus however refuses, and exhorts Appianus to meet his death, I. 5-II. 2.
Appianus, we gather, is then led away to execution, but the emperor seems to
have wished to give him a last opportunity of tendering his submission, or,
possibly, he did not really intend to carry out the penalty. In any case
Appianus is recalled, and the emperor invites him to observe the respect due to
the imperial position, II. 2-4. But Appianus continues obdurate, and draws an
insulting comparison between the emperor and his predecessor. This is too
much for the emperor’s patience, and without deigning to reply he orders
Appianus to be removed. Appianus requests permission to wear his insignia of
office and, leave being granted him, he takes advantage of it to make loud protests
while being carried through the streets, II]. 5-III. 11. A crowd collects and
there is a prospect of a riot, so that one of the soldiers guarding Appianus
is despatched to inform the emperor of the state of affairs, III. 11-IV, 1. The
emperor thereupon once more recalls Appianus who, far from showing a desire
to escape death, renews his taunts. The emperor in moderate and dignified
language reminds him of his powerlessness, IV. 1-12. At length Appianus
becomes calmer and exchanges his tone of open defiance for one of appeal,
though with a tinge of sarcasm which does not escape the emperor’s notice,
IV. 13-V. 5. After more conversation Appianus begins to relate some incident
connected with Cleopatra, V. 5-14. But at this point the papyrus, the last
THEMIS DB POOR -CENTORIES 65
column of which is incomplete, breaks off, and we are left in doubt as to the
final act of the drama.
The papyrus is written in a neat semi-uncial hand, probably not long after
the events which it describes. There are a few corrections, apparently due to
the first hand, and in three places (II. 14, III. 3, V. 13) an alpha has been
written over the line with no obvious meaning.

my son, to death, it is a glory for you to die for your beloved country. Be not distressed, .. .”
The Emperor recalled Appianus and said, “ Now do you not know whom you are addressing?”
Appianus: “I know very well: I, Appianus, am addressing a tyrant.’ The Emperor:
“No, a king.’ Appianus: “Say not so! the deified Antoninus, your father, deserved
imperial power. Listen; in the first place he was a lover of wisdom, secondly, he was no
lover of gain, thirdly, he was a lover of virtue. You have the opposite qualities to these ;
you are a tyrant, a hater of virtue, and a boor.” Caesar ordered him to be led away.
Appianus as he was being led off said, “Grant me this one favour, lord Caesar.” The
Emperor: “ What?” Appianus: “Order that I may wear the insignia of my nobility on
the way.” The Emperor: “Take them.” Appianus took up his band, placed it on his
head, and put his white shoes on his feet, and cried out in the midst of Rome, “Run

hither, Romans, and behold one led cff to death who is a gymnasiarch and envoy of the
Alexandrians.” The veteran (who was accompanying Appianus) ran and told his lord,
saying, “Lord, while you are sitting in judgement, the Romans are murmuring.” The
Emperor: “At what?” Theconsul: “At the execution of the Alexandrian.” The Emperor:
“Tet him be sent for.” When Appianus entered he said, “ Who has recalled me when
I was now saluting my second death, and those who have died before me, Theon, Isidorus,
and Lampon? Was it the senate, or you, the arch-pirate?” The Emperor: “ We too are
accustomed to bring to their senses those who are mad or beside themselves. You speak
only so long as I allow you to speak.” Appianus: “I swear by your prosperity, I am
neither mad nor beside myself, but I appeal on behalf of my nobility and of my rights.”
The Emperor: “How so?” Appianus: “ Because I ama noble and a gymnasiarch.” The
Emperor: “Do you then mean that we are ignoble?’’ Appianus: “ As to that Z do not
know, but I appeal on behalf of my nobility and my rights.’ The Emperor: “ Do you not
now know that we are noble?” Appianus: “On this point if you are really ignorant,
I will instruct you. In the first place Caesar saved Cleopatra’s life when he conquered her

desire of the Alexandrian magistrate to retain his insignia to the last compare the privilege

it is not clear whether he is referring to the occasion “recorded in I. 8-II. 2 or to some
previous event.
6. Isidorus is perhaps to be identified with the leader in the Bucolic revolt mentioned
by Dio Cassius Ixxi. 4. Theon or Lampon may have been the priest who is there
associated with Isidorus.

whether in connexion with his own «vyéveca or the dyévera of the emperor is not clear.
XXXIV verso. Epicr oF A PRAEFECT CONCERNING ARCHIVES.
2EX YER CM. ADT 272
The recto of this papyrus contains a long contract for a loan of money
dated in the tenth year of Hadrian. It is written in very broad lines, which are
incomplete at the end, and in parts much effaced.
The verso has been used for writing three documents. The first of these,
which occupies the first two columns (a third preceding column has almost
certainly been lost), is a copy of an important proclamation by Flavius Titianus,
praefect of Egypt in the eleventh year of Hadrian, concerning the duties of
officials connected with the local archives throughout Egypt, and their relations
with the central state archives deposited in the newly built ‘Library of Hadrian’
at Alexandria. The writing is a clear semi-uncial, but the top of the first
column is a good deal worm-eaten, and the difficulty of supplying the lacunae is
increased by the presence of a number of technical terms, some of which are
PLE IR SE OURS CENTURIES 69
new. The third column, which is in the same hand as the first two, is another
proclamation by the same praefect dated a few months later, and enforcing
obedience to the provisions of the first edict by the threat of penalties. The
fourth column, which is in a cursive hand, is a letter from Apollonius to Horion,
both of whom were no doubt officials in the archives of Oxyrhynchus, in which
Apollonius says that in order the better to call Horion’s attention to the second
edict, he had subjoined a copy of it. The order of these three documents in
the papyrus thus preserves their historical sequence, in contrast to the usual
custom in similar cases by which the historical sequence is inverted.
The first sentence of the first column was clearly connected with the lost
column preceding, and the remains of it are too slight to afford a clue to the
meaning. A new regulation apparently begins at troypadpouat in 2 and ends with
taxiatov in 4. So far as we can make it out, it enjoins that something which
used to be given to the ‘Nanaeum’ should for greater security also be given as
soon as possible to ‘the other library, which, as later passages show, means the
newly built Library of Hadrian. The Nanaeum, which is clearly a kind of state
library at Alexandria, does not appear to be mentioned elsewhere. ‘Nanaea’
is an epithet of Isis in B. M. Pap. cccxlv. But what were the objects to be given?
The use of the verb reAcicOa. might suggest that they were taxes collected by
the revenue officers, and this is supported by the occurrence of the Adyou ths
mpocddov two lines further on. But there seems to be no reason why actual
payments of money should be made to a library, and it is more probable that
this regulation, like the one following, is concerned with the official accounts of
the revenue. Possibly this provision is intended to ordain, mutatis mutandis,
for Alexandria, what the next regulation ordains for Egypt in general, cf. IT.
12-14. The use of dvddva in 4 (cf. II. 6) suggests that the transmission was
direct; and if rd rayucroy is contrasted with 61a mévTe jyepdv, it would suit the
context better to suppose that the regulation referred to the clerks in the smaller
archives at Alexandria than to make it quite general. The reason why the
Nanaeum alone was insufficient as a depository of documents is explained in
IJ. 5-10. The principal object of the present proclamation is to set up the
Library of Hadrian side by side with the Nanaeum, and to subordinate the
older archives to the new.
The next provision (4-7) also bristles with difficulties. We understand it
to mean that the guardians of the local archives throughout the country were
to despatch the official revenue returns to the proper department of the central
archives at Alexandria every five days: first, in order that the government
might know the exact amounts; secondly, for the sake of additional security.
But the precise meaning of the ¢ab/inum (a simple correction of the meaningless
7o THE OXYRHYNCHUS "PAPY RI
rakAewov of the papyrus), in its relation to the local record offices and the two
central depositories at Alexandria, is obscure. It was apparently situated at
Alexandria, and unless it was a separate institution from the Nanaeum and
Library of Hadrian, it would seem to be a subdivision of the latter.
The last section and perhaps the one preceding it have been concerned with
copies of revenue returns. I. 7-II. 2 deal with a fresh subject, that of contracts,
which presents much fewer difficulties. The first regulation (1. 7-12) ordains
that the clerks (a4mo\oyistrai) employed in local archives throughout the country
should, following the traditional custom, make lists of the contracts deposited in
the public record offices, giving a short description of the contents of each; and
that copies of these abstracts should be sent to the Nanaeum and the Library of
Hadrian.
The second provision (I. 12-II. 2) is addressed to a different set of officials
at the local archives, the eixovusral, who seem to have been specially concerned
with the arrangement and gluing together into ‘tomes’ of documents belonging
to the same class. These officials are ordered, when they examine the various
‘tomes’ before the abstract of their contents was made, to enter a note at the
side of the documents, if they discover any erasure or insertion which is not in
due form. These notes were then to be copied out and sent to the two central
libraries, together with the numbers of the documents in the ‘tomes’ and the
names of the contracting parties, for purposes of reference. The praefect makes
the interesting statement that this regulation was only an extension to the rest
of Egypt of a custom prevailing in the Arsinoite nome and another, perhaps the
Hermopolite.
In II. 2-5 the foregoing regulation (I. 4-7) about the sending of reports
every five days is extended to the clerks in attendance upon the circuit-judges.
II. 5-10 is a rule which concerns only the keeper of the Nanaeum, and
instructs him to allow no one, himself included, to lend the documents committed
to his charge away from the building, or even to allow an inspection of them,
without the consent of the keeper of the Library of Hadrian. The cause of this
restriction is stated to be that the keeper of the Nanaeum had attempted to
tamper with the documents.
The edict concludes (II. 10-14) with a repetition of the general order
concerning contracts, and the appointment of the days on which the new
regulations would come into force in Alexandria and the rest of Egypt.
The changes introduced by this first edict, especially the clauses relating to
the ‘Library of Hadrian, were not immediately carried out by the officials
to whom they were addressed. In Col. III, which is dated five months later, we
have another proclamation by the praefect, who in forcible language, extending
THE FIRST FOUR CENTURIES 71
to threats of severe punishment, enjoins the observance of the clauses respecting
the new library. Neither the second edict nor the letter of Apollonius in
Col. IV presents any special difficulty, and the translation given below requires
no previous explanation.

3. kal7’] duepipyi[a|s rérov is excessively difficult, but no other reading suits the doubtful
letters nearly so well. The doubtful « cannot be » or 7, and the mutilated letter in ro. ov,
if it is not m, can only be r or y. If reAcioOa is passive, and r@ eiwOd7r neuter, the dative
must depend on rémov, and a subject to ddéva has to be supplied from the preceding
sentence ending with mpayparevopevos. If redcioOa is middle, then 7@ eiw6dre would be
masculine, and could depend on iroypdpoya. But the meaning of redeicOu is the principal
difficulty of the sentence.
4. Tats Gddais: Sc. aopadeias,
€v T@ katadoyeiw: the use of the singular instead of the plural in speaking of the local
archives throughout the country need cause no difficulty. The praefect has a tendency to
prefer the singular where the plural might be expected; cf. I. 12 rév répov, We have not
been able to find any parallels for the terms xaradoyeiov here, drodoyorai in 8, eixovorai in
12, and emyapry (if that be correct) in 15.
8. xara To madadv eos: examples of such a list giving the contents of various contracts
are the rec/o of xxxiii and B. G. U. 567.
9. vonoypapev: a title for officials with a knowledge of law who drew up contracts; v.
B.G. U. 18, 27, where a vopoypados occurs in a Fayytim village, and III. 3 below, where the

B. G. U. 361, III. 2 6 vopixds 6 ri oikovopiay ypayas. Generally when the title of the official
who draws up a contract is given it is the agoranomus or one of his agents, in Roman as in
Ptolemaic times. But in contracts of the Roman period no mention is often made of the
officials who drew them up, though Titianus here speaks as if their names were known as
a matter of course,

14. In the attention paid to erasures and additions in a contract, the clerks in the
archives of the Arsinoite and the other (Hermopolite ?) nome, whose practice is here set by
Titianus as an example for the rest of Egypt, seem to have rivalled the vigilance of
a modern solicitor.

only to their sessions at Alexandria, but to their circuits in the country like those of the
chrematistae under the Ptolemies. For d:adoyn cf. B. G. U. 614, 43 apparently it means
much the same as Siadoyopuds in B. G. U. 19, I. 13, 7d dreAnAvOdrt Siadoyiops, i. e. session
for the hearing of cases. The ypappareis were the official reporters of the trials, who made

6. ékddoma: it is not likely that the originals of documents sent to the central archives
were allowed to leave the building; so the éxdéo.ua are presumably copies, which under
ordinary circumstances could be obtained from the keeper of the archives, but which are
here forbidden to be issued on his own responsibility by the keeper of the Nanaeum.
III. 1, sqq. ‘ Proclamation of Titus Flavius Titianus, praefect of Egypt. It has not
escaped my notice that the lawyers in Egypt, imagining that they will not be punished for
their illegal acts, send their reports anywhere rather than to the Library of Hadrian, which
was built for this very purpose of preventing the concealment of any irregularities. I therefore
command them and all officials whom it may concern to carry out the terms of my edict,
and inform them that any persons who violate it, whether from mere disobedience or to
serve their own nefarious purposes, will receive condign punishment. Let this edict be
publicly issued.’
1. This Titianus is mentioned in a Latin inscription on the statue of Memnon dated
126 (Letronne, La statue vocale de Memnon, p. 147), and in B. G. U. 428, 8. Other prae-
fects with the same name are known in the reigns of M. Aurelius and Caracalla.

it to this letter. Farewell. Phaophi 4. It is as follows’. The duplicate of III which
is here appended has these variants :—¢Aadev and duapravovow for €dabe and dyaprdvovor in
3 and 4, and rm for rovs in 12. The last seems to be an unsuccessful attempt to improve
the construction of that passage.
XXXV. PROCLAMATION AND List OF EMPERORS.
13-8 X 13-4 cm. A.D. 223 (recto).
The interest of this papyrus lies chiefly in its verso, which contains a list of
the Roman emperors, with the number of years which each ruled, from Augustus
to Decius, in the first or second year of whose reign the list was drawn up.
Apart from misspellings it is generally accurate; but there is a serious blunder
at the beginning, where owing to some confusion the name of Gaius is omitted,
while the number of his years is assigned to Claudius, who has thus only four
years instead of fourteen. Galba is also incorrectly omitted, an extra year being
assigned to Nero; and Hadrian’s reign is made two years too long.
In reckoning the length of reigns, the months after the last Thoth 1 in an
emperor's reign are neglected, since the interval between the death of an emperor
and the next Thoth 1 counted as the first year of his successor; cf. xcvili. 13,
14. Emperors, therefore, like Otho and Pertinax, whose reigns ended before the
ist Thoth following after their accession, are not mentioned, and usurpers like
Pescennius Niger are naturally omitted. In cases of associated emperors only
the name of the one who reigned longest is given, in order to make the total
TTBS TIRED! OOK CENTURIES 75
number of years correct. Thus Marcus Aurelius, Verus, and Septimius Severus
are not reckoned, since Commodus and Caracalla counted their own reigns from
the accession of their fathers.
The recto contains the ends of a dozen lines from a proclamation made in
the reign of Severus Alexander.

XXXVI. Customs REGULATIONS.
10-4 X 27-9 cm.
This papyrus consists of the lower halves of three columns written in
a medium-sized cursive hand of the second or early third century. The first
column contains accounts, the second and third contain extracts from customs
regulations with reference to the payment of duty, the right of search, and the
giving of written receipts. The regulations both in style and contents find close
parallels in the Revenue Papyrus, and it is not improbable that these ordinances
were inherited by the Roman government from the Ptolemies.

II. 1-6. This section appears to be contrasted with the one following, 6-15, and to
mean that the tax-farmer, if he liked, could accept the valuation placed by the merchant
on his cargo as a basis for paying duty. Cf. Rev. Pap. XXIX, which states that
a tax-farmer may accept the cultivator’s valuation of the crop, but that if he thinks it too
low he may seize the crop and sell it, repaying the cultivator only the amount of his own
assessment. In 1 the word mutilated is probably ¢|xpopric |nar. Jpos in 3 is very
likely the termination of usopos, and 7 in 5 may be the beginning of mAoior.
6-15. ‘But if the tax-farmer desire that the ship should be unloaded, the merchant
shall unload the cargo, and if anything be discovered other than what was declared, it shall
be liable to confiscation. But if nothing else be discovered, the tax-farmer shall repay to
the merchant the cost of unloading.’
III. 1-5. ‘and they shall receive from those who farm (?) the taxes a written declara-
tion, in order that they may not be liable to false accusations subsequently.’
1. If ¢[yAaGdvrey is right, the sense is that the merchants were to obtain a written
declaration from the tax-farmers that the ship’s ‘manifest’ had on examination proved
correct. The doubtful « might be o, i.e. o[vvrehovvroy, the sense being that the tax-farmers
were to get a written declaration of the cargo from the merchants when they did not

IX verso. List oF WEIGHTS AND MEASURES.
The vecto of this papyrus contains the Aristoxenus fragment, pp. 14 sqq.
On the verso is a list of weights and measures written in a semi-uncial hand of
the third or early fourth century. While some of the weights and measures are
specifically Egyptian, e.g. the copper drachma and the artaba, the medimnus in
line 9, and perhaps the pvaciov in 15, appear to be on the Attic, not the Egyptian
standard. It is more probable that the list is an extract from some metrological
writer of the Roman period, than that it is a series of private memoranda, in
spite of the unusually bad spelling. Amid the paucity of authorities for the
metrology of this period in Egypt the papyrus is a welcome addition, and one
vexed question connected with the coinage is settled by it. At the left-hand
side of this list is a column of figures from an account.

‘A copper drachma has 6 obols, and an obol 8 chalki, so that the copper drachma
consists of 48 chalki. A drachma has seven, 7, obols, and an obol has 8 chalki, so that
the drachma consists of 56 chalki. The talent has 60 minae, and the mina 25 staters or
roo drachmae, and the stater has 4 drachmae, so that the talent consists of 1500 staters
or 6000 drachmae, or forty-two thousand obols. An artaba has 10 measures, and the
measure has 4 choenices, so that the artaba consists of 40 choenices. A medimnus has 12
hemihekta and the hemihekton four choenices, so that the medimnus consists of forty-eight
choenices. The ell has 6 palms, and the palm 4 digits, so that the ell consists of 24
digits. ‘The metretes has 12 choés, and the chous 12 cotylae, so that the metretes consists
of 144 cotylae. ‘The mina-weight has sixteen, 16, quarters, and a quarter has....’
I. yadxin: that the drachma in Roman times sometimes contained seven obols instead
of six was shown by Brit. Mus. Pap. CXXXI rec/o. But it was doubtful whether two
kinds of obols, silver and copper, were meant, and the name of the coin containing six instead
of seven obols was unknown. Wilcken at one time thought of 逢8odos, but has since with-
drawn the suggestion. The papyrus now gives the name of the coin representing six obols,
‘copper drachma,’ and shows clearly that there is only one kind of obol, that of copper.
The drachma may contain six or seven obols according as it is a copper or a silver
drachma, but it is the larger unit which varies and the smaller which is constant, just
as the artaba and metretes vary while the choenix and chous remain the same. With
regard to the occasion when a drachma was regarded as having six instead of seven obols,
the state of affairs in Egypt was probably much the same under the Romans as it was
under the earlier Ptolemies (Rev. Pap., App. ili, pp. 194 sqq.) before the introduction
of a copper standard; i.e. copper was legal tender for payment of sums below a drachma
or perhaps a stater, at their full nominal value of 4 of a silver drachma. But when sums
over a drachma were paid in copper instead of silver, the obol was liable to be reckoned
at its real value as a piece of metal, which was+ of a silver drachma; cf. Brit. Mus. Pap.
CXXXI rec/o. This will explain those cases in which a sum is paid in mixed drachmae and
obols, but the number of the obols is above seven, e.g. G. P. II. li., where the sum of 16
drachmae 16 obols is paid for some goatskins. ‘The drachmae were paid in silver and
the obols in copper, the two metals being kept distinct. Besides Roman copper coins
Ptolemaic copper continued to be largely used especially in the first century (cf. xcix. 9g),
though in payments to the government it was generally, perhaps always, taken at a discount
(xadkds mpos apybprov, xlix. 17, note).
8. The artaba of 40 choenices, which is the largest known, corresponds with that
Pie Tikes? FOUR CENTURIES 79
mentioned by Galen (Hultsch, Scrip/. Mefrol. p. 224) and the Tabulae Oribasianae (op. cé/.
p- 245), both authorities stating that the Egyptian artaba is equivalent to 5 modii (a modius
is elsewhere stated to be equivalent to the Attic ékrevs, which has 8 choenices ; cf. 10 below).
There is much variation in the size of the artaba, which in the Ptolemaic period could
contain 36, 30, or 29 choenices (cf. note on Rev. Pap. XXV. 8), and in the Roman period
still fewer.
The statement that the artaba is divided into 10 yerpa is remarkable, for though
fractions of the artaba frequently occur in papyri and ostraca, the fraction ;4, is not found,
and yérpa in this sense hardly ever occurs, although peérpov doivko(s) in cxvi. 11 is apparently
a definite amount, and a perpov rerpaxoirxoy (sometimes with the addition dpépou or dpdpe) is
often found, e. g. in ci. 40, for measuring corn. Possibly these units of 4 choenices are due to
the influence of the Attic system of measures, which appears in the next list containing sub-
divisions of the medimnus. ‘That the artaba, though an Egyptian measure, was somehow
equated to the Attic standard appears e.g. from G. P. I. lvii. 10 dptdBas éxarov eikoor ’APnvaiw
perp. (A discussion of this complicated subject will be found in Wilcken’s forthcoming
Griechische Ostraka, and in the next volume of Kenyon’s Catalogue of the British Museum
Papyrt.)
g. This medimnus of 48 choenices is the Attic, not the ‘ Ptolemaic’ medimnus, which
was 13 times as large as the Attic and contained 2 ancient artabae or 9 modii, i.e. 72 choenices
(Hultsch, of. cz#. p. 258).
13. The metretes containing 12 choes is of the usual size. A metretes of 8 choes is
found in the Revenue Papyrus for measuring wine (cf. note on XXXI. 5).
15. It is not clear whether the Attic or the Egyptian mina is meant here. As both
Egyptian and Attic measures are found in the papyrus there is no @ przord probability
either way ; but the fact that the praetoy is divided into sixteen parts, called rérapra:, points
to its being the Attic, which according to metrologists corresponded to 16 waczae, rather
than the Egyptian which corresponded to 18. The number of 6épyo in a rerdptn would
then be 72, the number of kepdria 144. If the pyaeiov were Egyptian, the corresponding
numbers would be 81 and 162. It is difficult to fill up the lacunae in 16 satisfactorily,
for though [é¢ p8] éxa[rév, 6 6]é would suit what is left, such an order is scarcely possible,
even for so illiterate a scribe.
MX XV “Report or 1A. LAWwsurr:
21 AO-7 CM. “A.D. 40:
A report of a lawsuit relating to the identity of a child. A woman called
Saraeus had undertaken to act as nurse to a foundling which had been adopted
as a slave by a certain Pesouris. According to the nurse's assertion the infant
died while in her keeping. Pesouris, however, declined to believe this, and
claimed a child which Saraeus was nursing, and which she declared to be her
own son, on the plea that it was really the foundling. The judgement given was
of the nature of a compromise. The claim of Pesouris to the living child
was rejected, while Saraeus was ordered to refund the money she had received
from him in her capacity as nurse. It appears from No. xxxviii that Pesouris, or,
as he is there called, Syrus, was much dissatisfied with this verdict.

‘From the minutes of Tiberius Claudius Pasion, strategus. The ninth year of
Tiberius Claudius Caesar Augustus Germanicus Imperator, Pharmouthi 3. In court,
Pesouris versus Saraeus. Aristocles, advocate for Pesouris, said :—‘ Pesouris, my client,
in the seventh year of our sovereign Tiberius Claudius Caesar picked up from the gutter
a boy foundling, named Heraclas. He put it in the defendant’s charge. ‘This nurse was
there for the son of Pesouris. She received her wages for the first year when they
became due, she also received them for the second year. In proof of my assertions there
are the documents in which she acknowledges receipt. The foundling was being starved, and
Pesouris took it away. Thereupon Saraeus, waiting her opportunity, made an incursion
into my client’s house and carried the foundling off. She now justifies its removal on the
ground that it was free-born. I have here, firstly, the contract with the nurse ; I have also,
secondly, the receipt of the wages. I demand their recognition.” Saraeus :—“I weaned
my own child, and the foundling belonging to these people was placed in my charge.
I received from them my full wages of 8 staters. Then the foundling died, and I was left
with the money. They now wish to take away my own child.” Theon:—“ We have the
papers relating to the foundling.” The strategus:—‘ Since from its features the child
appears to be that of Saraeus, if she and her husband will make a written declaration that
the foundling entrusted to her by Pesouris died, I give judgement in accordance with the
decision of our lord the praefect, that she have her own conde on paying back the money
she has received.” ’

The following letter is the sequel to the legal proceedings described in xxxvii.
It was written, probably a few months after xxxvii, by the husband of the nurse
Saraeus to the praefect, complaining that Pesouris (or, as he is here called, Syrus)
refused to comply with the judgement of the strategus as there recorded. The
papyrus is written in a very cursive hand.

Report of a judgement given in court by the praefect Eudaemon in the case

the petitioner was a doctor. The judge demands a scientific proof of the

assertion. This summary of legal proceedings is one of a series, being preceded,
and very likely followed, by a similar abstract. The preceding case is too
mutilated to be worth printing. It is however evident that there too a doctor
was concerned, and that his rights were upheld; and it bears the date Thoth 1,
the twenty-first year of Hadrian. It may therefore be inferred that the name
of the emperor lost in line 2 of the following text was either Hadrian or
Antoninus. The present copy however seems from the character of the hand-
writing to have been made a good deal later than the proceedings which it
describes. It is written on the verso of some late second century accounts.

Gizeh Museum, No. 10,073. 31-3 X 26-3 cm. Late third or early fourth century.
The following text contains an account of a popular demonstration made
in honour of the prytanis at Oxyrhynchus on the occasion of a visit from the
praefect. It is not easy to gather from the disjointed acclamations of the
tie Tis POUT CENTURIES 85
citizens with which the document is for the most part filled what was the precise
character of, or ground for, the honour which they wished to see conferred on
the prytanis. All that is apparent is that they were anxious to have a vote
immediately passed in his honour, and that he himself wished it to be post-
poned for a more fitting occasion.
Several specimens of Greek acclamations are found in inscriptions (cf.
Th. Reinach, Bulletin de Corr. Hell., 1897, p. 543), but the present is much the
most elaborate example, and the first, we believe, on papyrus. Its Greek is
rather debased—though here no doubt it does not misrepresent the populace
of Oxyrhynchus—and it includes a number of strange words and expressions.

.. When the assembly had met, (the people cried)... “the Roman power for

of the city, ... Dioscorus, chief of the citizens! under you our blessings increase evermore,
source of our blessings, ... Prosperity to the patriot, prosperity to the lover of right!
Source of our blessings, founder of the city! ... Let the president receive the vote on
this great day! Many votes do you deserve, for many are the blessings which we enjoy
through you, O president. ‘This petition we make to our ruler about the president, with
good wishes to our ruler, asking for the city’s president, beneficent ruler, for the city’s
founder, lords Augusti for ever,—this petition to our ruler about the president, for the
honest man’s governor, the equitable governor, the city’s governor, the city’s patron, the
city’s benefactor, the city’s founder, prosperous praefect, prosperous ruler, beneficent ruler,
beneficent praefect! We beseech you, ruler, concerning the president; let the president
receive the vote, let the president receive the vote on this great day! This is the first
necessity.” The president said:—“I acknowledge with great pleasure the honour which
you do me, but I beg that these demonstrations be reserved for a legitimate occasion when
you may make them with safety and I shall be justified in accepting them.” The people
cried, ‘ Many votes do you deserve . . . the Roman power for ever! Prosperous praefect,
protector of honest men, our ruler! We ask, ruler, for the city’s president, the city’s
benefactor, the city’s founder! We beseech you, ruler, preserve the city for our lords !
beneficent ruler, we beseech you for the city’s well-wisher, the city’s patriot!” Aristion the
advocate said :—‘‘ We will refer this matter to the most high council.” The people :—
“We ask, ruler, for the city’s patron, the city’s founder, upright general, peace of the
city! O... Dioscorides, chief of the citizens! O... Seuthes, chief of the citizens, equitable
governor, equitable citizen! True and upright advocates, true and upright assessors !
Hurrah for all who love the city. Long live the lords Augusti!”’
3. Avyovaror kip. This was therefore a period of joint rule. Palaeographical con-
siderations make it probable that the xépio were Diocletian and Maximian. 1@ kaOodux@:
THE ERS POUR CENTURIES 87
cf. B.G.U. 21 III. 10. The xaOodixés in writers like Eusebius and Julian is a finance
officer. Here, however, the word seems to be used in a wider sense, as a title of the
TyEpov.
4. oxaavar . . . wkaavat. The meaning of this title or form of address, which only
occurs here before proper names, is very doubtful. It seems impossible in this context to
read @ Kaavé and suppose a reference to the obscure sect of the Cainites. It is not more
satisfactory to read the letters as one word, ’Qxeavé. Dioscorus seems to be the name of the
prytanis.
5. tomy, whatever it may mean, appears to be the subject of gute. The o may
perhaps be 6.
7. The letters preceding and following xaaya are illegible owing to the fact that
the papyrus was imperfectly flattened out before being mounted. A difficulty from the
same cause occurs iN 25. xaava was no doubt here, as elsewhere, followed by some
name.
12. iodpxo[vrja: cf. 28. The word is new.
20, 21. The doubtful « after vo may be read as v or perhaps y. mace might be
interpreted as maow « and constructed with 76 vo .[. . .|av, but the interjected Avyovoror xiproe
is rather against this.
24. giddrodw is corrected into piromonirny.
27, 28. Dioscorides and Seuthes were probably officials who were ‘on the platform,’
unless the former is identical with Dioscorus mentioned in 4.
els Spas: cf. the converse phrase pi) pact.
XLII. ProcLaMaAtTIon.
27-7 X 20-2 CM, A.D. 323°
Proclamation by Dioscorides, Aoy:orijs of the nome, with reference to an
approaching gymnastic display by the youths of Oxyrhynchus. Judging by
the number of alterations, this document is probably a first draft. The date
of the papyrus, which is written much smaller and more cursively than the rest,
is Tybi 23 (Jan. 18) in the sixth consulship of Licinius Augustus, and the
second consulship of a Caesar (whose name is lost, but can be supplied from Corp.
Pap. Rain. x as Licinius), rots dzode.xOnoopevois brdrous TO Y, a phrase which recurs
by itself in lx. 12, written on Mesore 24. -The explanation of this curious
addition is to be found in the unsettled character of the Empire. The war
between Constantine and Licinius took place in the first half of 323, and until
its conclusion there were two sets of consuls, Severus and Rufinus, the regular
consuls for the year, in the West, and Licinius Augustus VI and Licinius Caesar II
in the East, as was first shown by the Vienna papyrus mentioned above (Mommsen
FHlermes xxxii. p. 545). At any rate, for greater accuracy, the scribe of our
papyrus dated the year not only by the existing consuls, but by the consuls-elect
(a70derxOnodpuevor), whom he does not name, but indicates sufficiently by saying
that they would be, when elected, consuls for the third time, i.e. the Caesars
Crispus and Constantinus, who were actually consuls for the third time in 324.
88 TELE VOXN TAY NGAUS 9PA PERL
But why were the existing consuls ignored in Ix. 12, where the date is only
given by the consuls-elect? The explanation probably is that that papyrus was
written on Aug. 17, just after the defeat of Licinius. This is borne out by
a comparison of the Vienna papyrus, dated May 23, 323, where the consuls are
given as the two Licinii, and Pap. de Genéve I 10, written about August 8 (the
exact day is uncertain), which is dated by the regular consuls for 323 (Mommsen,
l.c.). The writer of 1x, being in doubt as to who the consuls for the year
really were, gives only the year of the consuls-elect.
The difficulty of this explanation is the necessity of supposing that the
scribe omitted the names of the consuls-elect, although he knew them, and,
secondly, that Crispus and Constantine were acknowledged so long beforehand
by Licinius as consuls-elect for 324. This might be avoided by taking the
arobetxOnoduevot Urato. to be the two Licinii, and supposing that they had
declared themselves consuls-elect for 324 for the third time together. The
objections to this view are, first, the change of case from the genitive to the
dative, secondly, the fact that ro y is written and not 10 ¢ xal ro y, thirdly,
that in lx, 12 tots azod. bxdtos stands alone as the date, after the defeat of
Licinius.

to. This is a very early instance of shorthand on papyrus. In later papyri it is met
with frequently, but the key has yet to be discovered.
XLIII. Mirirary Accounts. WATCHMEN OF OxYRHYNCHUS.
25XgOcm. A.D. 295.
The recto and verso of this papyrus each contain long official documents.
That on the vecto is of a military character, giving an account of supplies,
chiefly of fodder, provided to various troops and officers. The account is
accompanied by copies of the receipts from the persons concerned. It is complete
at the end, where the total amount of the supplies and the date are given, but
mutilated at the beginning, where one or more columns may have been lost.
The document on the verso, which was written not long afterwards, is a list
of the guards or watchmen who were distributed over the chief streets and
public buildings of Oxyrhynchus. It conveys a good idea of the size of the
city in the fourth century, and contains much useful topographical information.
It is complete so far as it goes, but it was left unfinished, the names of the
guards of the two streets last mentioned not having been filled in. A similar
blank occurs in Col. ITI.
Among the public buildings figure the temples of Sarapis, Isis, Thoéris,
and Caesar. To Thoéris a tetrastyle, besides a regular temple, was dedicated.
There are two churches (?), the north and the south, which give their names to
two streets. Mention is also made of the Theatre, the Capitolium, three sets of
baths, the Gymnasium, the Nilometer, the gates of Pesor and Pses, and the
north and south gates.
Streets are named in various ways; sometimes by an adjective, e.g.
Shepherds’ Street, Libyan Street; sometimes from an individual, e.g. the
Street of Seuthes, the Street of Apollonius; but most frequently from some
prominent building or house which they contained or adjoined.

Letter from Paniscus, strategus of the nome, to Asclepiades the basilico-
grammateus, with reference to the difficulty of finding persons willing to take
the responsibility of farming certain taxes. The strategus had been in com-
munication with the praefect on the subject, and now writes to the basilico-
grammateus to acquaint him with the state of affairs.
The letter is written in a fine semi-cursive hand dating from about the end
of the first century, probably the reign of Domitian, to which a number of dated
papyri found with this one belong.

‘Paniscus, strategus of the Oxyrhynchite nome, to Asclepiades, basilicogrammateus
of the same nome, greeting. At the last sale of taxes held by myself and you in the
presence of the customary officials, the farmers of the tax on sales and the farmer of
the tax payable to the record office not only refused to bid, on the plea that they had
incurred sufficient loss already, but seemed likely to abscond. I accordingly thought it
best to write to his excellency the praefect on the matter. He replied requesting me
to examine the terms under which the taxes had previously been farmed, and as far as
possible to lighten the burden of the farmers, in order to prevent the disappearance of
those who were being pressed to bid. I have therefore already sent you the copy of
his letter to inform you, and to acquaint you with the fact that in your absence, as
the taxes have been refused by the present farmers and no one else at all has come
forward to undertake the responsibility, though the taxes have been put up to auction
several times, I have taken declarations by the farmers of the tax upon sales and those
payable to the record office.....
6. For the difficulty of finding persons willing to undertake the farming of the taxes
cf. the edict of Tiberius Alexander (C. I. G. 4,957) in the reign of Galba, and note on Rev.
Pap. XXXIV. 18.
6. For the éyxv«dov cf. introduction to xcvi. The dyopavducov, which appears to be
identical with the ypadeiov in 23, is the tax paid for the services of the agoranomus as
notary in drawing up contracts, &c.; cf. B. G. U. 277, Il. 11, where the tax called ypaqdetov
is coupled with xaprnpa, the tax on papyrus. On the advantages gained by the government
and the tax-payers through the system of playing off the tax-farmers against the officials,
cf. note on Rev. Pap. XXXI. 14.
17. Owing to the lacuna at the end of the papyrus it is uncertain whether «ai before
ére answered to a «ai later, or whether avré is to be supplied after eidjs.

This and the two following papyri, together with clxv, clxxiv, clxxv and
clxxvi, described at the end of the volume, are concerned with xataAoxiopos. This
was the title given to the distribution of parcels of land (kAjpou) to the KarorKou,
102 aE (ORANG S | PAPYRI
a privileged class of settlers who were exempt from the poll-tax (Wilcken,
Hermes, xxviii. 249). The various xdjjpo. were called after the name of
individuals, not improbably the first xdro.ko. to whom they were assigned
(xlv. 10, xlvi. 19, xlvii. 18), and were subdivided into pépy belonging to one
or several xatouxot. The administration of karadoxicpot was under the super-
intendence of an official, called 6 dcyodovpevos Tots KataXoxiopovs or 6 mpds
Katadoxiopois THs Aiyvarov (xlvii. 3 and note), who had his agents in the different
nomes (xlvii. 2 “AxiAAeds 6 Tpokexetpiopevos b7d Tvppov, cf. clxxiv. 1 [Aovrapyxos
6 Kadeotapnevos emitnpytys Kal yeipio7ys Katadoyiopov ~Oégupvyxelrov, perhaps
identical with the cuvvraxtixds of G. P. II. xlii. 2). The owners of xatadoxiopol
paid a tax to the state, which like other taxes was farmed out, cf. B. G. U.
340. 6, 7 (where the editor quite unnecessarily wishes to alter kxatadoyiopav
to xaradoyiowGv). xiv, xlvi, and xlvii are official notifications addressed by
the inspectors of xatadoxiopol in the Oxyrhynchite nome to the agoranomi,
announcing that the ownership of a certain pépos had changed hands. The
land is stated to have been ‘ceded’ (rapaxexwpnyevov, xlv. 4), and sometimes
‘in accordance with a contract’ (xlv. 7). Nothing is said to imply that the
transaction was a sale, but it probably was so in all these cases; cf. B. G. U.
282, which is a contract for the sale of a piece of land év karouxixn taéer, and
especially 1. 33, rév mempapevoy Kal Tapaxexwpnpevwv, and B. G. U. 379, 446 and
543. B. G. U. 340. 9 shows that the land held under a xaradoyiopuds could
be bequeathed like ordinary land.
The present document is a letter from Phanias and two other inspectors of
katadoxicpol, addressed to the agoranomi and stating that 113 arourae of corn
land had been ceded by Tapotamon, daughter of Ptolemaeus, to Diogenes, son
of (the same?) Ptolemaeus. The letter is endorsed at the bottom by Heraclas,
one of the senders, the body of the document having no doubt been written
by one of his clerks.

earlier part of Domitian’s reign.

XLVIII. EMANCIPATION OF A SLAVE.
[5X O-5 Ci. A.D. 86.
This and the two following documents are concerned with the manumission
of slaves. The form of manumission described in them is by purchase, the
procedure being briefly this:—the terms of freedom having been agreed upon
by master and slave, a notification of the details of the transaction was sent to
the agoranomus by the banker through whom the purchase money was paid,
accompanied perhaps by his receipt for the payment (cf. 1). The slave was
then presumably declared by the agoranomus to be free.
It is not however made clear what formalities other than the payment of
a sum of money by the slave preceded the notification to the agoranomus, or
with which, if any, of the forms of emancipation under the empire, collected
e.g. by Mitteis, Retchsrecht und Volksrecht, p. 3728qq., these manumissions should
be classed. Possibly they are examples of the common hierodulismus, cf. 1. 3,
note. In any case it is clear that the initiative came from the slave, and that
these cases are therefore to be contrasted with that described in B. G. U. 96,
where the master by a simple declaration grants the slave his freedom, and
nothing is paid except the regular tax of 5 per cent. on manumissions (1. rHv
[edw |Ovetay eikooryy in line 8 of that papyrus).
The present text is a letter addressed by Chaeremon to the agoranomus
of Oxyrhynchus, requesting him to grant freedom to a female slave named
106 THE (OMYRAYNECEHUS “PAPY RT
Euphrosyne, whose emancipation had been purchased for 10 drachmae of silver

occur, e. g. Hpomedas, are so rare that we should not expect to find one abbreviated in
this manner. Moreover the identity of the handwriting and of the sum paid in this
papyrus with those of xlix points to their being both concerned with the emancipation
of the same slave, and in xlix the name of the slave is Horion. On the other hand,
if mpor( ) is not a proper name the reading may be mpén(odds) ’Adpo(Sirns), with So0(vAos)
or 60(vAov), which could be explained as a reference to the common form of manumission
by ‘hierodulismus,’ in which the slave paid a sum of money and became by a legal fiction
the nominal property of a temple, but in reality free. The obscure phrase in xlviii. 6
and xlix. 8 bd Siaynyndiov emi Aitpos might also have some reference to the hiero-
dulismus. The formulae in other papyri concerning the emancipation of slaves do not
afford any help. An examination of more Oxyrhynchus papyri may lead to the solution
of these difficulties.

Report addressed to Valerius Ammonianus, logistes, by Aurelius Irenaeus
on behalf of the guild of carpenters of which he was president for the time
being, concerning a persea tree which he had been commissioned to examine,
no doubt with a view to its being cut down. The papyrus, which is numbered
at the top 105, formed one of a series of similar reports, glued together in
the office of the logistes or at the archives, cf. xxxiv. I. 13 note. Parts of the
preceding and succeeding documents are preserved, the one written by some
builders, the other by two public physicians, and both having the same formula
as li and lii, to which the present papyrus also bears much resemblance.

Letter to the strategi of the Heptanomis and the Arsinoite nome from
Servaeus(?) Africanus, who was either praefect of Egypt or, more probably,

the multiplication of officials connected with the estates of the treasury, and
gives instructions that in future each estate should be administered by a single
officer, assisted by at most three subordinates.

‘Servaeus Africanus to the strategi of the epistrategia of the Heptanomis and Arsinoite
nome, greeting. The accounts have themselves proved that a number of persons wishing
to swallow up the estates of the treasury have devised for themselves various titles, such as
administrators, secretaries, or superintendents, by which means they secure no advantage
to the treasury, but swallow up its surplus. It has therefore become necessary to send you
instructions to cause the election, on the responsibility of the several councils, of a single
trustworthy superintendent over each estate, and to put an end to the other offices. The
superintendent elected shall have the power to choose two or at most three other persons
to assist him in his work. In this way useless expense will be stopped, and the estates of
the treasury will receive proper attention. You will of course take care that only such

Letter from the council of Oxyrhynchus to the strategus, stating that
a mai who had been chosen to attend the praefect’s court at Alexandria had
claimed exemption on the ground that he was a victor in the games; the
council had consequently appointed a substitute, whom the strategus is asked to
inform of the fact and to despatch with all speed.

After an elaborate introduction, in which the council of Oxyrhynchus through its
president Aurelius Apollo addresses the strategus Aurelius Apollonius through Asclepiades,
the papyrus proceeds (line 8):—‘At a meeting of our body a despatch was read from
Theodorus who was recently chosen in place of Arion the scribe to proceed to his
highness the praefect and attend his immaculate court. In this despatch he explain-
that he is a victor in the games and exempt from inquiries . .. We have there’
nominated Aurelius ... to serve, and we send you word accordingly, in order that this ract
may be brought to his knowledge, and no time be lost in his departure and attendance
upon the court. We pray for your health, dearest brother.’

below and Ixviii. 3-5, where a ixdpurnya is issued dia roo oTpatnyov,

7. duaddyou is here equivalent to the common phrase é:adexopuevov thy otparnyiar,
‘acting strategus.’ Cf, liv. 7.
Q-. awavtiocat x.7.A,: it is not clear for what reason some one had to be sent to attend
the praefect’s court. Perhaps he was to act as representative of the city in some inquiry
then being held; cf.12. The reluctance of Arion to go shows that the duty was regarded
as a burden rather than an honour.
12. iepovixny: i.e. a victor in some one of the celebrated games; the word is common
in inscriptions.

Letter addressed by Hermias, strategus, to the council of Oxyrhynchus
through its president Eutropius, notifying the fact that a supply of meat had
been sent to Nicopolis, in accordance with the orders of the praefect Sabinianus,
for some troops which were stationed there under Valerianus.

Notice sent by the strategus Aurelius Sarapion to the government bank
at Oxyrhynchus, to the effect that he had caused to be paid into the bank
the sum of 2255 drachmae, which was to be entered to a separate account
until its destination was decided. The money was the proceeds of a fine
inflicted for the non-appearance of certain accounts at the date fixed by the
dioecetes, the chief of the financial administration. The papyrus is dated in the
joint reign of Elagabalus and Severus Alexander.

eight lines of some judicial process before Domitius Honoratus, praefect of Egypt
in the fifth year of an emperor, perhaps Gordianus (cf. Ixxx. 12). It is un-
fortunately too mutilated to give any connected sense. The decision of the
praefect, which was to the effect that certain subordinate officials should be
exempt from public burdens, is written in three shorter lines at the end:—

This papyrus contains three documents, the first of which is a letter
addressed by Aurelius Ptolemaeus to Aurelius Aétius, an ex-official of high
standing, with reference to a dispute between the writer and two other persons
about some property, and enclosing, secondly, a letter from Flavius Antonius
Theodorus, praefect of Egypt, to Aétius, written in answer to an application
from Ptolemaecus that Aétius should be appointed judge to decide the dispute.
There follows, thirdly, the application in question of Ptolemaeus to the praefect,
CE PIRST HOUR GENGURIES . 125
stating his side of the case. The sequence of the three documents thus inverts
their historical order.
There are two copies of this papyrus, the second being somewhat less
complete than the first, but serving to fill up all the lacunae, except Aav of
d[Aaviw| in 4; w of w|prmvos in 13 ; at of dvrla]r[a and the lacuna after voyw in 14;

‘In the consulship of the most illustrious Flavius Ursus and Flavius Polemius,
Pharmouthi 2. To Aurelius Aétius, ex-magistrate of the illustrious and most illustrious
city of Oxyrhynchus, from Aurelius Ptolemaeus, son of Horion, of the same city. I have
approached in a petition his excellency my lord the praefect of Egypt, Flavius Antonius
Theodorus, wherein I accused Pataésis and Panechotes, of the village of Lile in the fifth
district, who are making illegal encroachments on my estates. I now hand in to you the
injunctions which in reply he wrote to your clemency and impartiality, together with the
petition which I made, in order that you may carry his orders into effect. ‘They are as
follows :—‘‘ Flavius Antonius Theodorus to Aétius, ex-magistrate of the Oxyrhynchite nome,
greeting. If the accused persons protest against the restoration of the estates of which
they are said to be in occupation and of which, as at least the accompanying document
hie InRSE FOUR CENTURIES 127
testifies, the rightful owner is the accuser, take care to enforce the precepts of the law and
to have the preliminary proceedings of the court conducted under legal forms.”
‘The following is the copy of the application : —
“To his excellency the praefect Flavius Antonius Theodorus from Aurelius Ptolemaeus,
son of Horion, of Oxyrhynchus. Everything, it may be said, that is able to withstand the
power of the law-withstands but for a short time and then submits to the law’s correcting
vengeance. Pataésis Luluntis and Panechotes of the village of Lile in this nome are
oppressing me and occupying my own estates which descended to me by right of
inheritance from my grandmother. Knowing your goodness, I beg you to allow Aétius,
ex-magistrate, to be judge in this matter; and let his inquiry concern two points, firstly,
whether these estates really belonged to the old lady, and secondly, whether she made any
written cession of them to these men. In this way their aggression against me will be
made clear. For they can produce no written proof of sale by her, nor show that she
made any other cession than is implied in the fact that while I lived with her in the city
they were in the village and made indefensible encroachments on my estates. If I receive
this benefit I shall be eternally grateful to your highness.”
‘ (Signed) I, Aurelius Ptolemaeus, have presented this application.
‘We, Aurelius Pataésis and Aurelius Panechotes, have seen the above on this fifth day
of Pharmouthi. I, Aurelius Ammonius, son of Horion, signed for them, as they were
unable to write.’

probably the epistrategus, disputing a claim brought by Theon, son of Pausiris,
against the writer's son Sarapion for payment of certain moneys from the estate
of Sarapion’s maternal grandfather, which had been bequeathed to Sarapion
and his uncle Dionysius.

‘Since Theon, son of Pausiris, has through the strategus of the nome served me with
a copy of a memorandum which he has wrongfully executed in the record office, and by the
terms of which he claimed payment for old debts alleged to be owing to him from Sarapion
Lie Eis Lh HOUT CEN BURILIS 129
the maternal grandfather of my son Sarapion, who is under age, and the elder Sarapion’s
brother Dionysius, I make the requisite counter-statement, as follows. I suspect that
the security set up by Theon for the loan has become void owing to lapse of time and
because Sarapion lived on for two years after the loan was concluded, and after his death
his daughter Eubulia, who became my wife and the mother of Sarapion the minor, likewise
lived on for eleven years, and since her death another five years elapsed without Theon
having dared to bring forward his claim. Moreover Eubulia in her lifetime sold to
Dionysius, the aforesaid brother of the elder Sarapion, property which had belonged
to Sarapion for the sum of six talents of silver with the further stipulation that Dionysius
should repay Sarapion’s creditors the debts owed to them; and though Theon was
Sarapion’s creditor for other sums, he has received from Dionysius payment for these claims
without making any reference to the claim which he now brings forward. I therefore beg
you to give instructions that a letter be sent to the strategus of the Oxyrhynchite nome
requesting him to serve Theon with a copy of this memorandum, that he may know that the
writ which he unjustifiably served upon me has been invalidated, together with any additions
I may make if he presents counter-statements ; judgement against him being entered in my
favour on those points on which it ought to be so entered, since I am ready to abide by the
present memorandum, as is right (?).’
24. kat mpés might perhaps be connected with é€, ‘six talents and upwards.’
33. The dcacroduxdy is the indpynpa of 5; cf. also 30 rovde rod bropynpatos with 36 r7d_
7) SwactoAn. It is not clear whether the distinction is more than verbal.
34, 35. The meaning of these two lines is obscure; the participle odvay as it stands
has no construction, and ought to be either the infinitive «iva: or in the genitive absolute.
In the latter case the d¢ might imply, ‘ but if he does not make any answer.’

‘... they broke down a door that led into the public street and had been blocked up
with bricks, probably using a log of wood as a battering-ram. ‘They then entered the
house and contented themselves with taking from what was storéd there ro artabae of
barley, which they carried off by the same way. We guessed that this was removed
piecemeal by the said door from the marks of a rope dragged along in that direction, and
pointed out this fact to the chief of the police of the village and to the other officials.
I am therefore obliged to put in this petition, and beg you to order that the chief of the
police and the other officials be brought before you, and to make due inquiry about
the robbery, so that I may be able to recover the barley.’
g. airnv: probably the wife of Nechthenibis; the theft was apparently committed
during his absence.

‘To Aurelius Herapion, most high epistrategus, from Ptolemaeus also called Hera-
clides, ex-agoranomus, councillor of Oxyrhynchus. Every valid written contract is
credited and accepted. Agathodaemon also called Enthesmus owes me by a_ bond
executed in his own hand in the 15th year, Pharmouthi, and placed in the archives, three
thousand drachmae of silver, lent at the, interest of four obols and upon the other
conditions contained in the bond, which is valid. It happened that a balancing of
accounts took place between us in the past 2zoth year on Mesore 5 when Colonianus
was epistrategus, with reference to another transaction and to the bond aforesaid...’
g. The sum on which the four obols are the interest is no doubt the mina, the ordinary
unit in computing interest. The rate is thus 8 per cent. a year, which is less than the
ordinary rate in the Roman period, 12 per cent. Cf. B.G.U. 272. 6, 301. 8.

conduct of Aurelius Sotas, who refused to pay back a loan, and appealing
for the praefect’s assistance in recovering the money on the ground of the financial
straits to which he was reduced. The second petition is from a widow, Aurelia,
who in the absence of her sons on foreign service had entrusted the management
of her property to two dishonest overseers. The latter part of this document
is obscure owing to the lacunae.
On the verso of the papyrus are three columns containing a list of buildings
with measurements.

‘To his excellency Clodius Culcianus, praefect of Egypt, from Aurelius Demetrius,
son of Nilus, late chief priest at Arsinoe. Knowing your care for honest citizens, my lord
praefect, I make my petition to you with full confidence that I shall obtain justice from
your highness. In the 17th = the 16th = the gth year of this auspicious reign Aurelius
. Sotas, ex-gymnasiarch of Arsinoe, acknowledged in two bonds the receipt of a fully
secured deposit from me, the first bond, which was made in the month of Tybi, being
for two talents of silver; the second, which was made in Phamenoth, for twenty talents of
silver. These sums he, by the terms of the aforesaid contracts, undertook to repay without
an action at law or any delay or quibble. When therefore I asked him for the
money while Heron was strategus, he attempted, owing to my being illiterate, to commit
a fraud to my detriment. When he was detected in this and was in danger of being
prosecuted before your highness, he entreated to be allowed to settle his debts without
the trouble of an action. Up to the present moment he is still putting off the payment,
taking a mean advantage of my forbearance, while I am in debt to the most sacred
treasury not only on account of the deficit in connexion with the duty which I have
performed as superintendent of the corn-supply, but also in connexion with both my
private estate and the municipal post which I undertook, and I have no other resources than
this money in question. On all these counts therefore I beg and entreat you to instruct,
if you will, the strategus or any other magistrate whom you may sanction, that Sotas shall
be compelled by seizure of the securities provided in his written bonds now at length
to make repayment, or that, if he is recalcitrant, he shall be summoned before your
highness to answer for his previous fraud also. So I shall be enabled to recover my
property and acknowledge my gratitude to your excellency. Farewell. I, Aurelius
Demetrius presented this petition. The 19th = 18th year, Phamenoth 4.
‘To his excellency Clodius Culcianus, praefect of Egypt, from the most noble
Aurelia... , an inhabitant of Arsinoe. You extend help to all, my lord praefect, and
you render to all their due, but especially to women on account of their natural weakness.
Therefore I myself make petition to your highness in the full confidence that I shall
obtain assistance from you. Having large estates in the Arsinoite nome, and paying
a considerable sum in taxes (I refer to payments for public purposes and supplies for the
soldiers), and being a defenceless widow woman, for my sons are in the army and absent
upon foreign service, I engaged as my assistant and business-manager first one Secundus
and subsequently Tyrannus besides, thinking that they would preserve my good name.

‘To Epimachus and Theon, keepers of the archives, from Zoilus, son of Apollonius,

LX XIII. REGISTRATION OF A SLAVE.
22-7 X 7-1 CM. A. De QA:
The following papyrus is like the last an azoypagy, but is concerned with
a slave. Instead of being in the form of a letter addressed to an official, it is
written in the style of a contract made in the presence of the agoranomi. In it
Thamounion, daughter of Adrastus, with her husband Dionysius as_ xv%puos,
registers as her property a slave whom she had declared to belong to her
in a previously written dzéurnua. Her ownership of the slave seems to have
been also guaranteed by a contract written six years previously, the mention
of which (30-35) was added after the document had been finished.

A.D. 129.
Return addressed to Diogenes and Theon, keepers of the archives, by
Theon, son of Theon, in which the writer first registers property inherited
under his father’s will made in A.D. 84, viz. the third part of a three-storied house
and court belonging to it situated in the ‘Shepherds’ quarter,’ together with the
third part of his father’s share in a piece of land, and, secondly, states that his
sister Diogenis, who under the will was guaranteed 1,000 drachmae as dowry
and the right of living on in the paternal house, had died childless in her parents’
lifetime.

CoRRECTION OF THE OFFICIAL Taxinc Lists.
23-3 x 6-8 cm. ‘Third century.
This papyrus contains two documents which are written in different hands
and have no certain connexion with each other. The first is apparently an
extract from an official taxing list containing amounts of land belonging
to Apolinaria, partly her individual property, partly held jointly by her with
others. The second document is an abstract or copy, probably made in the
record-office, of a letter from Aurelius Sarapas calling attention to the fact
that a piece of land(?) which he had recently bought and registered in the
usual manner was still reckoned in the official taxing lists as belonging to its
previous owner, a woman whose name is not given but who may have been
the Apolinaria mentioned in the first document. The copy of Sarapas’ letter
stops at the point when it was about to give a detailed description of the
property in question, and does not seem to have been finished.

Having lately bought from some one the herein-

142 TILES OX VRE GOS, HAP YAR
excellency Marcellus and the most high Sallustarius, I find in the taxing list which
has just been issued that this land is still entered in the name of the previous holder.
Therefore, to prevent the appearance of my having taken advantage of the tax-collector’s
ignorance, I send you this memorandum in order that you may... tell him what steps
ought to be taken to rectify the error.’
13. The abbreviation should perhaps be resolved as 7(od), the name being omitted.
The document is clearly either a rough draft or an abstract; cf. the omission of the
offices held by Marcellus and Sallustarius in 15 and 16.
14. Stacnuordrov Mapkéddou: dcacnpdtatos ( perfectissimus) is the epithet of the praefect
in the later empire, cf. Ixxi. I. 1, Ixxxvii. 9 ; xpdrurros is that of the dioecetes, cf. Ixi. 15.
Judging by the handwriting however the papyrus can hardly be later than the beginning
of Diocletian’s reign.

On the verso of the papyrus are thirteen much corrected lines in a rude
hand, which begin with moral advice to do nothing ignoble, and proceed to
refer in a mysterious manner to the death and burial of some one. The

26-2 9-6 cm. A.D. 327.
Declaration on oath addressed to the logistes by Aurelius Nilus, an egg-
seller, by which he binds himself to sell eggs only in the public market.
There is a duplicate copy of this papyrus, which is less complete and is
written in a different hand except the signature, which is by the second hand
of Ixxiii. The dating in both documents is by the consuls, but in Ixxiii their
names are lost. In the duplicate copy however the ends of two lines con-
taining their names are preserved, |iov | and |v Magiuov; and this taken in
conjunction with the handwriting which is of the early fourth century, and the
fact that there was at the time one Augustus and more than one Caesar (v. 6—7),
points to the year of the consulship of Constantius and Maximus, 327, as the
date of the papyrus.

LXXXV. DECLARATIONS BY GUILDS OF WORKMEN.
23° X 22°¢72. A.D: 398.
Part of a series of declarations addressed by various guilds of workmen
to the logistes, Flavius Eusebius, stating the value (at their own assessment)
of the goods in stock at the end of the month. In all, parts of six declarations
are preserved on two pieces of papyrus which do not join. The formula is the
same throughout. We give transcripts below of the second, which is from
the coppersmiths, and fourth, which is from the beer-sellers. Of the first
declaration only a few letters at the ends of lines are left. The third is
practically complete, and is a declaration from the bakers (dproxémo.), who
return their stock as cirov pétpm dexdt@ (aprdBar) arad( ) xd. For the ‘tenth
measure’ cf. note on ix verso 8; G. P. II. lvii. 17 perp dydd@ Onoavpod rijs
kouns; and Corp, Pap. Raineri xxxviii. 19 pétpw Exto.
The fifth and sixth declarations, of which only the beginnings are preserved,
are from the oil-sellers (€Aavo7@Aar) and bee-keepers (weAroooupyot).

Letter addressed to Flavius Eusebius (cf. the preceding papyrus) on behalf

complaining that a certain Eustochius, who had been requested by Papnouthis
to provide a sailor for the boat, refused to do so. On this Actovpyia of
providing crews for state vessels cf. G. P. IJ. Ixxx-lxxxiii, a series of docu-

Senouthes, who was burdened with the hereditary Ae:roupyia of either serving
as a rower in the galley of the governor of the Thebaid, or of paying for
a substitute.

Declaration on oath, addressed to Flavius Dionysarius, Jogistes, by Aurelius
Sarapion, a ship-owner, stating his readiness to go to Alexandria in order to
attend an official inquiry to be held there; cf. lix. The declaration is one
of a series of similar documents which have been glued together. Parts of the
two preceding ones are preserved, but in a very fragmentary condition. :

to. The province of Augustamnica was created early in the fourth century and
consisted of the eastern part of the Delta; cf. Ammian. Marcell. xxii. 16. 1. By a curious
coincidence the earliest mention hitherto of the name occurs in Cod. Theod. XII. Tit. I.

XCII. OrpER FoR PAYMENT OF WINE.
6:2 X 25:2 cm. A.D. 335 (?)
Order from Aphthonius to Ofellius to pay ten jars of new wine ‘for the
service of the landowner’s house,’ and one jar to Amethystus(?) a veterinary
surgeon. The chief interest of the papyrus, which belongs to the middle of
the fourth century, lies in the date, which is apparently calculated by the
years of the Emperor Constantine and Constantius Caesar, there being no
reference to the years of Constantinus Caesar. But the reading of the date is
not certain; in line 4 Ae may be read instead of Aa, and what we have taken to
be 6. might be 6 § (i.e. 6 érovs). In that case the thirty-fifth and fourth years
would be dates by the two eras starting from 324 and 355 A.D. which are
frequently found in the Oxyrhynchus papyri; cf. xciii. 4 and introd. to cxxv. But
then the ‘thirteenth year’ must be explained as a third era in use at Oxyrhynchus
THE FIRST FOUR CENTURIES 155
starting from 347; and in the absence of further evidence this does not seem
likely.

XCIV.. AGREEMENT FOR SALE OF SLAVES.
36-5X10-5 cm. A.D. 83.
Agreement between Marcus Antonius Ptolemaeus and Dionysius, son of
Theon, by the terms of which Dionysius undertakes to put up for sale two
slaves belonging to Ptolemaeus, Diogas, also called Nilus, aged forty years,
and another Diogas, aged thirty years; and to pay over the price received
for one or both of them (12. qrou tp’ ev 7 Kal &va, cf. 16-17) to Ptolemaeus.
The papyrus is written in the fine semi-uncial hand which characterizes so
many of the first century papyri from Oxyrhynchus. A few alterations have
been made in a more cursive hand.

158 THE OXYRHYNCHUS PAPYRI
‘The 13th year of the Emperor Caesar Trajanus Hadrianus Augustus, Payni 29, at
Oxyrhynchus in the Thebaid. Agathodaemon also called Dionysius, son of Dionysius, son
of Dionysius, his mother being Hermione, of Oxyrhynchus, agrees with Gaius Julius
Germanus, son of Gaius Julius Domitianus, (the agreement being executed in the street) that
he hereby assents to the autograph contract, made on Tybi 25 of the present 13th year,
for the sale to Julius Germanus of a slave named Dioscorous, about 25 years old, with no
distinguishing marks, which slave was his by purchase, having previously belonged to
Heraclides also called Theon, son of Machon, son of Sosicosmius also called Althaeeus.
This slave Julius Germanus then took from him just as she was, free from blemish except
epilepsy and marks of punishment (?), at the price of 1200 drachmae of silver, which sum
Agathodaemon also called Dionysius thereupon received from Julius Germanus in full
together with the autograph contract. In consequence of this contract Julius Germanus
paid the tax upon the sale of the said slave Dioscorous on Phamenoth 3 of the same year,
in accordance with the receipt issued to him. Agathodaemon also called Dionysius is the
guarantor of the said slave Dioscorous in all respects, as the autograph contract states. If
the terms of it should be broken or it in any other way be rendered invalid, Julius
Germanus has the right to demand...’
26. rd evkixdov: cf. the following papyrus (xcvi), and introd. to xcix.

of sale; cf. xcix. 13 sqq.
XCVI. Payment oF Tax ON SALES.
25:°5X8 cm. A.D. 180.
Order addressed to the public bank of Oxyrhynchus by Diogenes, an
official concerned with the tax upon sales, authorizing the bank to receive
52 drachmae, the tax (probably 10 per cent. of the price, cf. introd. to xcix)
payable by Chaeremonis on the purchase of a slave.

partners, public bankers, greeting. Receive from Chaeremonis, daughter of Apollonius,
son of Heracleides, her mother being Ammonarion, of Oxyrhynchus, the tax on a slave
named Plution, whom she bought from Asclepiades, also called Apion, son of Apion, son

XCVII. APpProINTMENT OF A REPRESENTATIVE.
I5X11-6 cm. A.D. 115-6.
Agreement between two brothers, Diogenes and Nicanor, concerning a
journey to be undertaken by the latter. The brothers had been engaged in
a lawsuit with Menestheus, son of Horus, about the ownership of a slave
called Thaisous or Thaésis, whom they claimed as part of an inheritance from
their mother. The case had come before the strategus of the nome, Apollonius,
who referred it to the praefect, Rutilius Lupus. The papyrus is an agreement
signed by the two brothers, to the effect that Nicanor, the younger, should
attend the praefect’s court and have full power to act as his brother’s repre-
sentative.
The papyrus is joined to another document which is much mutilated but
preserves the date, the nineteenth year of Trajan. The present text evidently
belongs to the same year, since Rutilius Lupus, who is mentioned in 1. 16, is
known from C.I.G. 4948 to have been praefect in the eighteenth and nineteenth
years of that Emperor.

‘Chaeremon, son of Theon, son of Theon, his mother being Totoeus, of Oxyrhynchus,
to Archias, freedman of Amoitas, son of Zoilus, also of Oxyrhynchus, greeting. I acknow-
ledge the receipt from you, through the bank of Heraclides and his partners at the Serapeum
near the city of Oxyrhynchus, of a hundred and sixty-eight drachmae of silver, being the
balance owing to me from you of the seven hundred drachmae of silver which I lent you
by the terms of a contract executed through the bank in the month of Athyr in the twenty-
second year of the deified Hadrian which is the first year of our sovereign Antoninus
Caesar, the payment of the sum covering 50 months dating from the month Hadrianus of
that same year at the rate of 15 drachmae each month. The present payment follows upon
the instalment of the seven hundred drachmae, namely five hundred and thirty-two drachmae,
which I previously received from you as I acknowledged in the written receipt which I gave ~
you through the said bank in the month of Athyr of the past fourth year... .’
16-17. Fifty payments of 15 drachmae make 750 drachmae; it is not clear what is
the relation of this number to the 700 drachmae mentioned in 15, nor why the singular
cataBody is used instead of the plural.
XCIX. Sate or House Property.
DAOCAA CH. — A. DibaG:
Sale of half a house by Pnepheros, son of Papontos, to Tryphon, son
of Dionysius (cf. xxxviii, xxxix), in the second year of Nero, for 32 talents
of copper. At the end is a docket showing that the tax on the sale had been
paid to the bank of Sarapion, and resembling the dockets of the royal bank
found on Ptolemaic contracts. The amount of the tax (rd éyxt«Auov, cf. xcv
and xcvi) was 3 talents 1200 drachmae, i.e. a tenth of the price, the same
proportion as that under the later Ptolemies, in addition to a further charge, the
nature of which is obscure.

‘Dionysia, daughter of Chaeremon, with her guardian who is her son Apion also
called Dionysius, son of Diogenes, both of Oxyrhynchus, has leased to Psenamounis, son
of Thonis and Seoéris, from Paberke in the eastern toparchy, a Persian of the Epigone, for
six years dating from the present sixth year of our sovereign Antoninus Caesar, 38 arourae
belonging to her and previously cultivated by Psenamounis under another lease, on these
conditions. For the first five years fixed by the agreement the lessee may sow and gather
whatever crops he chooses with the exception of woad and coriander(?); in the last year he
shall sow and gather the same crops as those appointed for him in the last year of the
previous lease. The rent of the whole leasehold during the six years is fixed at 190 artabae
of wheat a year and a money-payment of 12 drachmae a year, which shall all be free of
every risk, the land-tax being paid by the lessor, who shall also be the owner of the crops
until the rent is paid. If in-any of the years there should be a failure of water, an
allowance shall be made to the lessee. He shall also, when the lease is guaranteed to him,
measure into the public granary from the amount fixed as the rent for the year the yearly
corn tax on the buildings, at his own expense, and he shall pay this deposit to the lessor
free of all adulteration every year at the time of the first measuring, an equivalent allowance
being made to him, The remainder of the yearly rent together with the money-payment
he shall always pay to the lessor in the month of Payni at the granary of Paberke, new,
clean, unadulterated, sifted wheat, with no barley in it, similar to that which is delivered at the
public granary, measured by the bronze-rimmed measure containing four choenices used for
payments to the lessor or her agents. Any arrears owed by the lessee shall be paid with
the addition of half their amount. The lessor shall have the right of execution upon both
the person and all the property of the lessee, and the lessor shall not be permitted to let
the property to any one else or to cultivate it herself within the six years. This lease
is valid. The sixth year of the Emperor Caesar Titus Aelius Hadrianus Antoninus
Augustus Pius, Phaophi 5.
I, Psenamounis, son of Thonis,have taken the land on lease for the six years at a yearly
rental of 190 artabae of wheat and a money-payment of 12 drachmae, and I will make all
the payments aforesaid. I, Theon, son of Theon and Ophelia, signed for him, as he is
illiterate, on the same date.’
5. Ilépon tis entyovns: i.e. a descendant of a Persian settler who had married
an Egyptian. wife.
27-34. The sense of this passage is that the lessee was to pay the taxes on the land
on behalf of the landlord who was to make an equivalent deduction from the rent.

Lease of nine arourae near the village of Sestoplelo in the middle toparchy
by Aurelia Antiochia to Aurelius Dioscorus for one year. The land was to be
sown with flax, and the rent was I talent 3,500 drachmae for each aroura. Of
the total rent the lessor acknowledges the receipt of 4 talents, while the balance
was to be paid in the following Epeiph, after the harvest.
The papyrus is dated in two ways, first (1-2) by the consuls, the Augusti
Constantius and Maximianus (Galerius) for the sixth time, and secondly (21-23)
by the regnal year of the Augusti and Caesars. It is noteworthy that though
the papyrus was written on Oct. 3, 306, and Constantius, who had died in Gaul,
had been succeeded by his son Constantine on July 25, 306, Constantius is
spoken of as being in his fifteenth year, to which he of course never attained.
The explanation probably is that the scribe was still in ignorance of Constantius’
death; cf. introd. to cxxxv, and G. P. I. Ixxviii dated in Phamenoth (Feb.-March)
of 306-7, in which the date is correctly given as the fifteenth year (of Galerius)
=the third (of Severus and Maximinus)=the second (of Constantine).

Lease of an aroura of land near the village of Isionpanga by Aurelius
Themistocles, gymnasiarch and prytanis of Oxyrhynchus, to Aurelius Leonidas
and Aurelius Dioscorus, for one year. The land was to be sown with flax, and
the crop was to be divided equally between landlord and tenant.
The papyrus is dated Phaophi 16 (Oct. 13) in the consulship of Sabinus
and Rufinus (316), and incidentally mentions in 6 the current twelfth = ninth
year (the reading 8 is fairly certain, though the letters are mutilated). The
twelfth year is that of Constantine, who is known to have begun his second year
on Aug. 29, 306 (Pap. de Genéve I. 10; v. Mommsen Hermes xxxii. pp. 545-7),
and the ninth year must be that of Licinius whose second year accordingly
dates from Aug. 29, 309. His elevation to the position of Augustus must
therefore have taken place after Aug. 28, 308. This is an inference of much
importance, since the year in which Licinius became Augustus has long been
a vexed question, some ancient authorities placing it in 307, others in 308;
cf. Mommsen /.c. p. 543; the arguments there brought forward in favour of 308
are confirmed by this papyrus.

son Areotes or his heirs her house and all its appurtenances, on condition
that her husband Atreus should have the right to live in it, and receive
from Areotes 48 drachmae a year until the payments reached the total of
300 drachmae, this being the balance of 600 drachmae owed by the testatrix
to Atreus. On the death of Atreus Areotes was to pay 40 drachmae to his
sister —Tnepheros, who also has a dwelling-place appointed for her in the event
of a separation from her husband.

‘The... year of the Emperor Trajanus Hadrianus Augustus, Tybi 13, at Oxy-

‘Corbolon to Heraclides, greeting. I send you the key by Horion and the piece of
the lock by Onnophris, the camel-driver of Apollonius. I enclosed in the former packet
a pattern of white-violet colour. I beg you to be good enough to match it and buy me
two drachmas’ weight, and send it to me at once by any messenger you can find, for the
tunic is to be woven immediately. I received everything you told me to expect by Onno-
phris safely. I send you by the same Onnophris six quarts of good apples. I thank all
the gods to think that I came upon Plution in the Oxyrhynchite nome. Do not think
that I took no trouble about the key. The reason is that the smith is a long way from us.
I wonder that you did not see your way to let me have what I asked you to send by Corbolon,
especially when I wanted it for a festival. I beg you to buy me a silver seal and to send it
me with all speed. ‘Take care that Onnophris buys me what Irene’s mother told him.
I told him that Syntrophus said that nothing more should be given to Amarantus on my
account. Let me know what you have given him that I may settle accounts with him.
Otherwise I and my son will come for this purpose. I had the large cheeses from
Corbolon. I did not however want large ones, but small. Let me know of anything that

The writer styles himself in the address on the verso Aipvispyos, a new title,
meaning apparently a ‘superintendent of lakes’ and the reclaiming of them.
Possibly he was employed in the Fayim, where was the Aiyyn par excellence,
Lake Moeris.

‘ Hermias to his sister, greeting. What remains to write to you about I do not know,
for I have told you of everything till I am tired, and yet you pay no attention. When
a man finds himself in adversity he ought to give way and not fight stubbornly against
fate. We fail to realize the inferiority and wretchedness to which we are born. Well,
so far nothing at all has been done; make it your business to send some one to me, either
Gunthus or Ammonius, to stay with me until I know the position of my affairs, Am I to
be distracted and oppressed until Heaven takes pity on me? MHermias is anxious to come
to you. I requested him to stay, but he refused, saying that he had pressing business and
that he must go, and that his son Gennadius was unable to attend to the property, especially
as he was a stranger to the place and was engaged at his post. See that matters are
properly conducted on your own part, or our disasters will be complete. We are resolved
not to continue in misfortune (?). Farewell; I wish you all prosperity.’

CXC -Letrer. 10 A. PRAEFEGT:
25:8x18 cm. Late third or fourth century.
Letter to Agenor, praefect (probably of a legion), from Gaianus, whose high
rank is indicated by the fact that he places his own name before that of the
praefect, and by the familiar tone of his remarks, as well as by the mention of
the soldiers under his command. The letter is an apology for not having been
able to procure some wild animals which Agenor required—a subject which
recalls the correspondence between Cicero and Caelius.
That Gaianus was more accustomed to Latin than Greek is very evident
from his handwriting, which is marked by a thoroughly Latin appearance
throughout, and by an occasional obtrusion of Latin forms of letters, e.g. m.
The use of the rough breathing (cf. critical note) in a cursive document is also
remarkable.

Take care they do not allow us to fail in coming to an understanding with each other (?), as

‘ Adrastus, king of Argos, married one of his own rank and had two daughters,
Deipyle and Aegialia, who, though not ugly, were unlucky as to marriage; for no suitors
offered themselves. Adrastus therefore sent to Delphi and inquired the cause.’
2. ynuas ek Tov duoiwy: the wife of Adrastus was Amphithea, his niece.
3. dvo: the name of a third daughter, Argeia, is recorded.
4. For Aiydidea (or Aiyadyn) cf. Homer, JZ. v. 412; some authorities made her the
granddatghter of Adrastus (cf. Apollod. i. 8, 6, 3). According to the legends Aegialea
consoled herself in after life for the lack of admirers from which, if we may believe the
papyrus, she suffered before her marriage.
8. The story was perhaps continued in a second column, but of this no traces remain.
Deipyle subsequently became the wife of Tydeus, and Aegialea of Diomedes.

SEVENTH CEND URES:
CXXV. INDEMNITY OF A SURETY.
Gizeh Museum, 10,062. 22X 24:3 cml. A.D. 560.
Declaration on oath made by Aurelius Pambechis to the chief of the
treasury of Oxyrhynchus, ensuring the latter against any loss or annoyance
which he might incur by becoming surety for Pambechis on his appointment
to succeed to a subordinate official post. Some guarantee, perhaps that of
a public officer, was no doubt a condition of the appointment required by
law, cf. Ixxxii. 8. The object of the Jaw was therefore practically defeated by
this private arrangement by which the person giving the necessary security
was himself secured by the person to whom it was given against any possible
loss. For another and more direct evasion of legal enactments by private
contract cf. cxxxvi. 37-39, note.
The papyrus is dated Choiak 17 in the thirty-fourth year of Justinian,
the nineteenth year after the consulate of Basil, ninth indiction, i.e. A.D. 560;
and in line g ‘the current 237th=206th year’ is mentioned. These two eras
dating from 324 and 355 respectively, of which an early example Was noticed
in xciii, occur constantly in the following sixth and seventh century papyri.
From a comparison of the different instances it appears that the new year
according to the two eras began, like the ordinary Egyptian year, on Thoth 1.
Neither era is known to have been used outside Oxyrhynchus, and it
THE SIXTH AND SEVEN TH CENTURIES 193
may therefore be doubted whether the choice of the particular years 324-5
and 355-6 as epochs was due to the occurrence of an event of more than local
importance. If, however, we are to look for an explanation outside the history
of the town, the era dating from 324-5 may be connected with the Council
of Nicaea which took place in that year. But the year 355-6 was marked
by no event in general Roman history of sufficient importance to be a natural
starting-point of an era.
The Oxyrhynchus scribes of the Byzantine period were, as a rule, more
particular in dating their documents than their brethren in the Fayim. It
rarely happens that a business document from Oxyrhynchus fails to have
a fixed date, either by the year of the Emperor or by the two eras, while
Faytim papyri are very often dated by the indiction alone. For determining
the palaeography of this period there is now an immense store of dated
material.

2, There is much confusion with regard to the years of the consulships of Justin ;
cf. Cxxxiv. 4, cxcv, cxcix, and introd. to cxxxv.
4. pepidos Kai oikov: oixos has here the wide sense which appears in a still more
extended form in cxxvii, 6 otkos ’Ogvpuvyxirav, where it is apparently equivalent to méXus.
Cf. cxxxiii. 8, where a village is said to be mayapxoupévn by the ofkos of Flavius Apion.
kupov is probably for xupiov: cf. cxxv. 3, note.
g. €Borjs kai xpvorxay : under these two terms the annual imposts to which John was
liable seem to be summed up. The é~8od7 was a contribution of corn which before the
division of the Empire was sent to Rome, and was at this period sent to Constantinople.
Some part of it was appropriated to the use of Alexandria. Justinian’s Lex de Alexandr. et
Aeg. Provincii's (edict. xiii) is chiefly concerned with the regulation of this corn-supply. Cf.
Cod. Theodos. lib. xi, and cxii. 11 and cxlii in this volume. Payments for the éufodn were
sometimes in money; cf. cxxvii. 2. The xpvouxa are subdivided in 12 and 14 into kavovixd
and dpxapid, the ‘regular’ payments and the payments to the imperial fiscus. These are
made respectively to the ¢@vxés, a term not elsewhere applied to a collector, and to the
‘arcarius or embolator’ ; from which it is to be inferred that the é¢S8odn and dpkapixa were
payable to the same official.
10. émwepnoews: ‘indiction.’ eémwéynows, which is not infrequent in literary writers, is
almost as common as ivéicriwv in the Oxyrhynchus papyri, the only distinction between
them apparently being that émwéunovs is not put in the date at the head of a document. It
is remarkable that the term has not been found in Byzantine documents from the Fayim.
13. xpvoav }) xpvood: ‘in one or more gold pieces.’ The normal véuiopa or solidus
contained twenty-four gold xepdria, the coinage of this period being on a purely gold basis.
But though excluded from accounts, silver must have been used for the smaller divisions of
the vopicpa,
14. dypooim tye: three kinds of (vyév or standard are mentioned in these papyri,
Snudorov, idiotixdy, and ’Ade~avdpeias. For the relation between them cf. notes on Cliv.
15, 16. 224 xepdria of pure gold (d8pvgiaxd) are to be paid as the equivalent of 24
kepdtia (=I vdpiopa) on the ‘public’ standard (dnpoaig, sc. (vy). The dnpdcroy vépicpa was
therefore debased to the extent of 1} xepdta. Apparently not much attention was paid to
the law of Justinian (edzc¢. xi), which was especially directed against the Egyptian distinction
between pure and impure gold, an abuse which it is there stated was of recent growth and
for the most part confined to Alexandria; cf. cxliv. 8, note.
33- The word before d]mé does not appear to be émp[e |A{n(r75).

‘His honour Pamouthius the secretary on the plea of bodily infirmity has expressed
the desire to retire from his duties and take rest. Learning this, we (for it happened that
I, John, was then at Oxyrhynchus) visited him in his house and were very importunate
with him to do no such thing and not to make any resolution without reference to the
opinion and decision of your excellency. We could not however persuade him to listen to
our request in any other way than by offering and pledging ourselves to refer his case by
letter to your excellency. He insists that he is unable to bear such a strain, and begs to
be bidden to come to your excellency’s feet in order that you may judge of his present
condition. Let your excellency therefore be pleased to write back your wishes, either
persuading his worship to stay at his post and do his regular work or ordering him to come
to your excellency’s feet. In the forefront of this letter we would place our due and fitting
obeisance to your excellency.’

Euphemia, should be dissolved, seeing that, as is aforesaid, I have heard that you are giving

CXXX. Perimion ror RE Mier.
Gizeh Museum, 10,072. 31-8 x.24 cm. Sixth century.
Letter to Apion, patrician and dur of the Thebaid, from Anoup, asking
for indulgence in respect of a debt which he declares himself for the present
unable to pay.
202 THE OXYRAYNCHUS PAPYRI
It is possible that the person here addressed should be identified with
the Flavius Apion who occurs so frequently in the Oxyrhynchus papyri
from 550-570 (cf. cxxxiii-ix). But Flavius Apion though regularly called
patrician, is not elsewhere given the title of dwx, which is applied to the Apion
of this letter; and the Strategius mentioned in 23 (v. note ad Joc.) was more
probably the elder brother or the father of Flavius Apion than his son.

‘To Apion my kind lord, lover of Christ and the poor, all-esteemed and most
magnificent patrician and dwx of the Thebaid, from Anoup, your miserable slave upon
your estate called Phakra. No injustice or wickedness has ever attached to the glorious
house of my kind lord, but it is ever full of mercy and overflowing to supply the needs of
others. Therefore I, your miserable slave, desire by this petition for mercy to bring it to
your lordship’s knowledge that I serve my kind lord as my fathers and forefathers did and
pay the taxes every year. But by the will of God in the past roth and 11th indiction years
my cattle died, and I borrowed a considerable sum—amounting to 15 solidi—in order to be
able to buy the same number of cattle again. Yet when I approached my kind lord and
asked for pity in my straits, the servants of my lord refused to do my kind lord’s bidding.
For unless your pity extends to me, my lord, I cannot stay on my holding and serve the
interests of the estate. But I beseech and urge your lordship to command that mercy
should be shown me because of the disaster that has overtaken me. For I have no other
refuge than in the Lord Christ and your eminence. And I will send up unceasing hymns to
the Lord Christ for the life of your lordship and that of your most magnificent son, my lord
Strategius.’
23. Srpatnyiw: this person is perhaps the Flavius Strategius addressed in Gizeh
Museum, No. 10,031, under the titles dwé imdrwv otparnddrns evikde€oTaTos maTpikios TpwTevov
kata te Tv “HpakXéouvs kai Kata tavTnvy thy Aaumpav ’O&. mékw. The document, which is
dated in the year 535, is an acknowledgement of the receipt through a pudokdmes of a basket
(xdAaOos) required for a mill (wvAatov) belonging to Strategius; and it follows precisely the
formula used in the similar receipts addressed to Flavius Apion (6:4 Myva oikérov k.r.d.) of
which cxxxvii is an example. There is therefore reason to connect the Strategius of
No. 10,031 with the house of Flavius Apion, and the Strategius of the present text is the
son of an Apion. As the Flavius Apion papyri do not begin until about 15 years later
than No. 10,031, Strategius was probably his elder brother or even, possibly, his father.
CXXXI. A DisputTep INHERITANCE.
Gizeh Museum, 10,063. 36-4 25-3 cm. Sixth or seventh century.
Petition sent by a certain Sousneus to an unnamed person, who is asked
to intervene in a dispute which had arisen between Sousneus and his younger
brother about the division of their father’s property.
The Jewish descent of the writer, indicated by the names which he
mentions, is also traceable in the style of this letter, which has a decidedly
Hebraistic turn.

‘To my kind lord next to God, entreaty and supplication, from me, Sousneus, your
miserable slave, of Patani. I beg to inform my kind lord of my case, which is as follows.
When my father was alive, he summoned me and my brothers and sisters and said, “ One
of you shall possess the land of your mother Jo...aphe, while the others get their
livelihood from my land”; and he raised up David my younger brother and assigned to
him the estate of my mother. And when he was on the point of death my father ordered
David to be given half an aroura out of his own land, saying that that was enough for him,
since he had his mother’s estate. And lo, it is to-day three years since he died.
Immediately after his death I went to Abraham, the overseer of Claudianus, and he
brought the witnesses who were appointed to act for my father, that is, Julius the elder
and Apollos. And he caused everything to be done in accordance with the word of my
father ; and year by year I sowed my land and David my brother sowed the land of my
mother and his own half-aroura. But to-day Abraham suborned (?) by this David lay in
wait for me, and said that my brother must have for himself my mother’s land and the
half-aroura which my father gave him, and that all that my father left me must be divided
again between himself and me. Now my father gave to my mother 110 solidi to divide
between me and my brothers and sisters, and this she gave to Elizabeth my elder sister.

15. exdvw: the use of the preposition is peculiar. ésdvw is frequent in late Greek as
an equivalent of emi in the senses of ‘upon’ and ‘ over,’ i.e. having authority over. But
neither of these meanings is very satisfactory in the present case.

proportions by Serenus, the son of Paulus, and two other individuals on behalf
of their wives, who were no doubt daughters of Paulus.

206 THE OXYRAYNCHUS PAPYRI
Be mapaotdOyu(ov) : mapdorabpov vouiopa in Cod. Just. x. 27, 2 means a vduopa below its
normal weight; and on this analogy the amounts mentioned here as paid imep mapactdOpov
may be supposed to have made up the deficiency in weight of the sums with which they are
connected ; i.e. the 360 vopicpata were mapa So and so many xepatca. But if this is meant,
it is rather strange that the voyiopara are not described at the outset in 3 as being under
weight. :
IO. yapero(d): yaperns Or yaperés for yapern is not found elsewhere.
CXXXIII. Apvance or SEED Corn.
Gizeh Museum, 10,056. 32-5 X 30-7 cm. A.D. 550.
The following documents (cxxxiii-cxxxix) are all concerned with the affairs
of Flavius Apion, his heirs, or his son, Flavius Apion the younger. The family
evidently possessed much wealth and power, and it figures in a considerable
proportion of the Oxyrhynchus papyri of this period.
The present text is an acknowledgement of receipt given to Flavius Apion
by the officials of the village of Takona, for 200 artabae of seed-corn.
The body of the document and the Latin signature are by the hand of cxl.

‘In the 24th year of the reign of our most godly and pious sovereign Fl. Justinian,
the eternal Augustus and Imperator, which is the 8th year after the consulship of
FI. Basilius the most illustrious, Phaophi 22, 14th indiction, in the city of Oxyrhynchus.
To Flavius Apion the all-honoured and most magnificent, of consular rank, a land-
owner at this illustrious city of Oxyrhynchus, through Menas his servant who is acting on
his behalf and assuming for his master the same all-honoured Apion the conduct and
responsibility of the transaction, from the council of the chief men of the village of Takona,
in the Oxyrhynchite nome, which village is dependent upon your honour’s house, through
us, Aurelius Phoebammon, overseer, son of Pekusius, Aurelius Anoup, son of Aritsi,
Aurelius Menas, his brother, Aurelius Koulaetb, son of John, Aurelius Anoup, son of
Priscus, Aurelius Heraclides, son of Palmas, Aurelius Phib, son of Julius, and the other
officials of this village, greeting. We acknowledge that we have received from your honour
on loan and have had measured out to us from the harvest of the present 14th indiction
as seed for the crops of our lands in the approaching (D.V.) 15th indiction, two
hundred artabae of uncleansed corn by measure, given to us by the heirs of the sainted
Menas, son of Osklas, captain of a boat belonging to your honoured house, total 200 artab.
corn. We will pay back without fail to your honour the same amount of corn, new and
sifted, according to the measure by which we received it, along with the tax payable by us,
in the month Payni of the current 227th=the 196th year and of the present 14th indiction,
out of the new crops of the coming (D.V.) 15th indiction, without delay and on the security
of all our property which is thereto pledged. This bond, of which this copy only is made,
is valid, and in reply to the formal question we have given our assent. (Second hand.)
The council of the chief men of the village of Takona in the Oxyrhynchite nome, through
the names herein above written, (has given) to your honour this bond for two hundred
artabae of uncleansed corn by measure, total 200 artab. uncl. corn, which we will pay back at
the date fixed; and we agree to all that is herein contained as it is above written, and in
answer to the formal question have given our consent and discharge. I, Aurelius Heraclides,
scribe of the village of Takona, signed for them at their request, as they were illiterate.
Executed by me, Philoxenus.’
2. tois ro n: the year is really the ninth, not the eighth, after the consulship of Basilius
(541); the same mistake occurs in cxl. In cxxv. 2 the number of years after Basilius’
consulship is correctly given. Cf. note on cxxvi. 2, and introd. to cxxxv.
5. emepwravros: the correlative to erepwrnOerres in 21.
g. peiovos: cf. CXxxi. 14, note.
14. €krds Svarioparos: cf. clviii, from which it appears that a Scarpa could be sealed.
But what part it played in the measuring and whether it had anything to do with the
kdykeAdos (CXXVii. I, note) is obscure.
23. Some such verb as éroujoayev must be supplied.
28. The « with the stroke of abbreviation should somehow represent ivd:kriovos ;

Acknowledgement given to Flavius Apion by John, chief of the stone-

There are some ancient stone quarries which are still worked at a short
distance to the north of Oxyrhynchus.

CXXXV. DEED oF SURETY.
Gizeh Museum, 10,018. 32X19:5 cm. A.D. 579.
Deed by which Aurelius Pamouthius, a worker in lead, became surety
to the heirs of Flavius Apion that Aurelius Abraham, a labourer, would remain
with his wife and family on an estate belonging to the heirs.
The papyrus is dated Phamenoth 25 (March 21) in the fourth year of
the Emperor Tiberius Constantinus, 12th indiction. There is, as so often happens,
an inconsistency between the two halves of the date. Tiberius reckons the
beginning of his reign from the time when he was made Caesar by Justin
(cf. G. P. I. Ix. 2, note), and this event is placed by historians in Dec. 574, so
that his fourth year was Dec. 577-578. But since Justin did not die till October
578, the fourth year of Tiberius’ sole reign was of only two months’ duration, and
in March 578 Justin was still Emperor. Moreover the 12th indiction on the
ordinary reckoning was 578-9, and it could not have begun so early as Phamenoth
(cf. note on cxl. 10). Probably therefore e« should be read for 4 in line 3.
The dates found in papyri belonging tothe reignsof Tiberius Constantinus and
Maurice are a constant source of difficulty. Although in cxliv the year of the
Emperor and the indiction coincide with the received theory, cxciii, cxcviii and ccii
are dated in Phaophi (October) of the 8th year of Tiberius, 1st indiction. This is
so far consistent that, reckoning from Dec. 574 as the beginning of Tiberius’ reign,
ite SIX LAAN DS SE VENI MGCENTURIES 20k
the indiction and the year of the Emperor agree in making the date of these
papyri Oct. 582. But the accession of Maurice took place in August 582, so we
must suppose that in October the scribes were still ignorant of Tiberius’ death ;
cf. a similar case in cii. In cxxxvii, dated in the 3rd year of Maurice, 2nd
indiction, January, the year of the Emperor is wrong; cf. note on G. P. II.
Ixxxvi. 5 and B.G. U. 395.
The years of the consulships are also frequently inconsistent. In cxciii,
excviii and ccii the 4th consulship of Tiberius coincides with the 8th year of his
reign, while cxliv, cxxxvi and cxxxvii give a regular series of dates ‘after the
consulship’ of Tiberius, which is placed by them in 578. For similar difficulties
respecting the consulships of Basil and Justin cf. cxxxiii. 2 and cxxvi. 2.

entered as your labourer. I engage that he shall continually abide and stay on his holding
along with his friends and wife and herds and all his possessions, and be responsible for all
that regards his person or the fortunes of him who has been entered as a cultivator; and
that he shall in no wise leave his holding or remove to another place, and if he is required
of me by your magnificence through your representatives at any date or for any reason
whatsoever, I will bring him forward and produce him in a public place without any
attempt at flight or excuse, in the keeping of your same honoured house just as he is now
when I become his surety. If I do not do this I agree to forfeit for his non-appearance
and my failure to produce him 8 gold solidi, actual payment of which is to be enforced.
This pledge, of which only this copy is made, is valid, and in answer to the formal
question I have given by assent.
Executed by me, Anastasius.’

Contract between the heirs of Flavius Apion and Serenus, a deacon, with
surety Victor,a lawyer, by the terms of which Serenus agrees to become
the overseer of certain estates for one year.

év dvopatt x.t.A. and a protocol similar to that of cxxxviii, has been broken
away.

The terms of the agreement are (11 sqq.) :—
I, Serenus, deacon, principal party to the contract, of my own free will and deliberate
choice agree that I have made a contract with your magnificence through your representa-
tives for one year reckoned from the arrears of money payments of the present first
indiction and that of the crops and money payments and revenues of the coming (D.V.)
second indiction; in which contract I undertake to fill the post of your administrator or
steward in the management of the estate of Matreus and your property in and adjacent to
the villages of Episemus and Adaeus. I undertake to conduct my dealings with the
labourers responsible to me both upon the estate and in the villages and adjacent property
in accordance with the requirements notified to me by the worshipful secretaries of your
honoured house, so as to collect and pay to your magnificence or to your representatives
all that is due, namely, the corn to the official controller of the boats of your honoured
house and the money to the most illustrious banker of your said honoured house, in
correspondence with the receipts and cheques issued by me to all the labourers under my
charge, and in agreement with the performance of my duties and the method of collection
adopted by me. And if any deficiency (?) should occur on the estates aforesaid, I am to
make it good and it shall be credited to your magnificence in my accounts; and I will
gain and collect and pay to the aforesaid owner’s account all the dues in full from the
outlying properties. I agree further to gain for your magnificence, as compensation for
the measure used in receiving payments, fifteen extra artabae on every hundred. I have
also contracted and agreed to give to the honoured house of your magnificence the twelve
Alexandrian solidi usually paid as a consideration for the said administration; and to
accept the same amonnt of victuals as the administrator before me. I will render accounts
of all my stewardship both of receipt and expenditure and I will make up deficiencies when
the accounts are balanced if the comparison of my receipts and cheques as aforesaid shows
me to be in arrears. I, Victor, surety, do further agree to become surety and bail for the
aforesaid Serenus, deacon and administrator, in the discharge and fulfilment of his steward-
ship ; and if he is shown to be in arrears in comparison with his cheques and receipts, to
discharge the debt and satisfy your magnificence out of my own private means, renouncing
the privilege of sureties, and contrary to the new ordinance issued about sureties and
persons accepting responsibility. We both pledge for the observance of this contract all
our property present and future, whether held by ourselves or our families, to be security
TPES STL AND SEVENTA-CENDURTES 217
and to serve as a pledge. The contract, of which two copies are made, is valid, and in
reply to the formal question we have given our consent.’ (Signatures.)
4. Ths ev evereci: cf. CXXXV. 4, note.
10. troypdpovres: the construction is ad sensum.
24. €kOeow: Other instances ofthe use of this word show that it means a payment of
some kind, and probably arrears of payment. clxxxix has ri ¢ybeow fv ddeider dmomAn-
p(odv), and Gizeh Museum No. 10,132, which is a list of payments in corn and money, is
headed toov éydécewv ray tis ppovrid(os) rod Seamdrov nay x.r.A. Cf. B.G.U. 539. 1.
37-39. veapai duardges is the Greek title of the Jovellae of Justinian, two of which
(4 and gg) are especially concerned with éyyunrai. The natural inference from the clause
in the papyrus would be that the law referred to abolished the liability of sureties. But this
is neither in accordance with the terms of the Movel/ae nor with common sense. Perhaps
the proviso was inspired by a mistrust of a new law which was imperfectly understood.
It is interesting to find the imperial decrees evaded in this way by private contract ;
cf. exxy. introd.
CXXXVII. ReparrR oF A WATERWHEEL.
Gizeh Museum, 10,034. 32xX20c¢m. A.D. 584.
Acknowledgement given by Aurelius Ptollion, a cultivator, to the heirs
of Flavius Apion, of the receipt of an axle for a waterwheel used in irrigation.
A large number of similar documents, of which this one may be taken as
a representative, are found among the papers relating to the house of Flavius
Apion. Cf. cxcii-cxcvii.
There is another inconsistency here (cf. introd. to cxxxv) between the year
of the Emperor and the indiction. The 3rd year of Maurice was from Aug. 13,
584-5, while the 2nd indiction came to an end in the summer of 584, long
before Tybi 15 (Jan. 10) of Maurice’s 3rd year. One of the two numbers must
be wrong, and as the date by the year after Tiberius’ consulship supports the
indiction number (cf. cxxxvii. 4 with cxxxvi. 2 and cxliv. 20), the error probably
lies in the year of the Emperor, which should be the 2nd instead of the 3rd.
Perhaps the scribe kept to the Egyptian method of reckoning an Emperor’s first
year as ended on the 5th jjpepa éxayopevn after his accession (cf. introd. to xxxv.
verso); but elsewhere in papyri after the reign of Justinian the years of the
Emperor {are reckoned in the ordinary Roman fashion from the day of his
accession without reference to the civil year, and there are other inconsistencies
in papyri dated in the reign of Maurice, e.g. G. P. II. Ixxxvi, which cannot be
explained by the recurrence of the scribe to the Egyptian mode of reckoning the
years of an Emperor.

After the date and the usual opening formula the papyrus proceeds (I. 13): ‘ Having
lately had occasion to require an axle for the appliance belonging to the landlord under
my charge which is called by the name of Gedius Anianus and supplies water to arable
land, I went up to the city and asked your magnificence to order the axle to be provided
for me. Whereupon your magnificence with due regard for the state of your property
credited me in my accounts with the value of a new, proper, serviceable, and satisfactory
axle, which I have received as the complement of all the machinery this fifteenth’ day of
Tybi of the present second indiction for the water-supply of the crops of the third indiction
by God’s help approaching. ‘This axle is to serve the purposes of irrigation for a term
of seven years, and the old one has been given to the porter.’
Ig. kawoy «.t.\.: the accusative is retained as though tovrov rapéoyero, which occurs in
some of the documents parallel to this one, had been written instead of rovrou tiv teyany
kateoyioaro.
CXXXVIII. Contract FoR THE CHARGE OF A STABLE.
Gizeh Museum, 10,100. 98-8 x 33:5 cm. A.D. 610-11.
Contract between Flavius Apion the younger and John, ‘contractor of
the racecourse’ belonging to Flavius Apion, by which John agreed to undertake
for a year the charge of Apion’s stable in addition to the racecourse, and to
provide him with animals whenever they were required, in return for the payment
of one pound of gold (72 solidi).
Judging from the number of references in the papyri to the racecourse
at Oxyrhynchus, it was very popular at this period. Cf. cxl, cxlv, cl, clv.
At the top of the document is part of a ‘protocol’ in brown ink, similar
to those frequently met with in long Byzantine papyri. (Cf. ihrer Pap. Erz.
Rain. p. 17, sqq.)

said honourable house, son of the sainted Theodorus, coming from the city of Oxyrhynchus.
I make the following contract.
Wishing to take charge of the stable belonging to your honoured house in addition
to the racecourse which is under my care, for one year reckoned from Choiak 15 in
the present 14th indiction to Choiak 15 in the (D.V.) approaching 15th indiction, I pro-
posed to your magnificence through your representatives that your magnificence should
entrust the stable to my care. The representatives of your magnificence accordingly
allowed me the charge of it for the one year aforesaid reckoned from Choiak 15 in the
present 14th indiction. I agree to undertake this duty and all the services that may arise in
connexion with the estate, and to find mounts for the noble superintendents and the most
illustrious secretaries and the servants who depart on any service whatsoever connected
with the estate, and to give no cause for dissatisfaction, all this being undertaken un-
equivocally at the risk of myself and my property ; and I accept as payment for the said
duties for which I have contracted during the year one pound of gold according to the
standard of Alexandria, undertaking for my part, as aforesaid, to perform all the duties

attaching to the aforesaid stable, and to provide animals for the needs of the estate, at the
risk of myself and my property, as is aforesaid, and to find mounts for the noble super-
intendents and the most illustrious secretaries and the servants who depart, as aforesaid, on
service connected with the estate. To all this I swear by Almighty God and by the
supremacy salvation and preservation of our most pious sovereigns, Flavius Heraclius and
Aelia Flavia, that I will abide by and observe these conditions and in nowise break them ;

10. Iayav ... apy9: there is an inconsistency here. The double date by the two eras
combines with the year of Justinian’s reign to fix the year in which the papyrus was written
as 550. The 13th ‘Egyptian’ indiction ended in the summer of 550, and was therefore
nearly over on Pachon 1 (April 26), which in the present passage is said to be ‘in the
beginning of the 13th indiction.’ A further difficulty is that though the beginning of the
‘Egyptian’ indiction-year varied considerably from year to year, being perhaps dependent
on the rise of the Nile, there is no instance of an indiction beginning so early as Pachon 1 ;
cf. G. P. II. lxxxi. 14, note. Possibly therefore dpyj here is a mistake for rete. But the
whole question of indictions bristles with difficulties which fresh discoveries of papyri only
tend to increase, cf. G. P. II. cxxxvi. 5, note.

‘I have received from your magnificence through John your most distinguished
banker for the revenues of the third instalment of the thirteenth indiction 1440 gold solidi
in pure coin and 720 solidi in independent (?) Egyptian coin according to the standard of
Alexandria, with 45 solidi to make up the deficiency in purity, total 2205 gold solidi.
This sum I am prepared to take to Alexandria, apart from accidents sent by Heaven and
dangers and mischances by river, and to pay it to John and Simeonius the most illustrious
money-changers and to bring a written receipt from the most illustrious agent Theodorus
to the effect that the aforesaid sum has been paid in full. For your security or that of the
said most distinguished banker I have drawn up the present acknowledgement of deposit
written with my own hand this 26th day of Athyr, 14th indiction.’

dmohtit@ xapdypart appears to mean the ordinary gold solidi on the standard of Alexandria,
24 of which were equivalent to 224 solidi of pure gold in cxxvi, a proportion of 16 to 15.
Here since 45 solidi are paid to make up the deficiency in purity on 720 solidi, the
difference between the pure gold and the other is slightly less, the ratio being 17 to 16.
As this papyrus was written long after Justinian’s reign, his attempt to abolish the
distinction between the two kinds of gold coins was, as might be expected, a failure ; cf.

‘Given to Andronicus the sailor 70 artabae, and to Anoup and John, lawyers (?) and
contractors of the racecourse, as payment for the 11th indiction, 60 artabae ; and received
through Anoup, administrator of Great Parorium(?), 18 artabae, total 148 artabae of corn,
remainder 4822 artabae 1 choenix of corn. This, at 1 solidus less 4 carats on the
private standard for every 10 artabae, is equivalent to 48,%; solidi less 193 carats on the
private standard, that is, less 289} carats or 12,% solidi on the public standard, making
363; pure solidi on the public standard, which are equivalent to 3633 solidi on the
Alexandrian standard.
To the banker 12} solidi on the Alexandrian standard; also 1 solidus less 4 carats on
the private standard, which is equivalent to §% solidus on the standard of Alexandria, total
133 Solidi on the Alexandrian standard, leaving 23,5 solidi on the Alexandrian standard.’
13. 482% solidi less 193 carats (4023 solidi) on the private standard are equivalent to
483°; solidi less 289} carats (36,'5 solidi) on the public standard, and to 364% solidi on the
236 THE (OXMEREA YINGHGS BEAT are,
standard of Alexandria. The ratios between the solidi of the 3 standards (private, public and
Alexandrian) are roughly 161 : 145: 146. In Gizeh Mus. No. 10,134 verso 3-4 a similar
sum occurs; 558% solidi less 23133 carats on the private standard are equivalent to 558}
solidi less 34302 carats on the public standard, i.e. a ratio of (in round numbers) 461 : 415,
or 153: 145. In lines 10-13 of the same papyrus there are other instances of conversion
from the public to the Alexandrian standard. 23 solidi on the public standard are
equivalent to 23 solidi 4 carats on the Alexandrian, 2 solidi 163 carats to 2 solidi 17 carats,
and g solidi 6 carats to g solidi 7} carats; the several ratios being 92 : 93, 129 : 130, and
444.: 447.
15. There is a mistake in this line. As is shown above, a solidus on the private
standard was worth only 34% of a solidus on the Alexandrian standard, yet here 1 solidus
less 4 carats, i.e. ~ Solidus idrex@, is equivalent to §% of a solidus on the Alexandrian
standard. Two explanations of the inconsistency are possible ; first that there was a large
amount of variation in the private standard, and that a solidus idvors«@ was worth sometimes
more, sometimes less, than a solidus ’AAcEavdpetas. This however is in itself unlikely, and finds
no support in parallel passages. In addition to the two instances quoted in the previous
note, in both of which the relation of a solidus ié:o7tK@ to a solidus ’AXefavdpetas was about
161: 146, in line 13 of Gizeh Mus. No. 10,134 168% solidi less 49} carats (143 solidi) ioriud
are equivalent to 133 solidi on the Alexandrian standard, giving a ratio of about 141 : 128.
It is more probable therefore that in 15 of the present papyrus v6(pucpa) a m(apa) 6 is
a mistake, due perhaps to the occurrence of vé(cpa) a mapa) 8 in 13, for vd(yucpa) a simply.
The ratio between the private standard and the Alexandrian will then be 96 : 87, which is
consistent with the foregoing instances. The private standard does not appear to vary to
a greater extent than the other two. 4

GRAECO-ROMAN BRANCH.
NOOO >;
THE Egypt Exploration Fund, which has conducted archaeological
research in Egypt continuously since 1883, has recently established
a special department, called the Graeco-Roman Branch, for the discovery
and publication of remains of classical antiquity and early Christianity
in Egypt.
While it is intended that further exploration shall proceed hand in
hand with publication, the first work of the new department will be to
publish the large and valuable collection of Greek papyri discovered in
1897 by Messrs. Grenfell and Hunt at Behnesa (the site of the ancient
Oxyrhynchus), of which this volume is the first instalment.
The Graeco-Roman Branch issues annual volumes, each of about
300 quarto pages, with facsimile plates of the more important papyri,
under the editorship of Messrs. Grenfell and Hunt.
A subscription of one guinea to the Branch entitles subscribers to the
annual volume and also to the annual Archaeological Report, which con-
tains a chapter on the progress of Graeco-Roman Egyptology contributed
by Mr. F. G. Kenyon. A donation of £25 constitutes life membership.
Subscriptions may be sent either to the honorary secretary of the Egypt
Exploration Fund, Mr. J. S. COTTON, or to the honorary treasurers—for
England, Mr. H. A. GRUEBER; and for America, Mr. F. C. FOSTER.
