I 9 10 All righls reserved OXFORD HORACE HART, PRINTER TO THE UNIVERSITY PREFACE The great majority of the papyri published in the following pages, including the chief literary pieces, were discovered in the season of 1905-6; a few come from the finds of the years 1903 and 1904, and one or two in the non-literary section from those of 1897. In editing these texts I have unhappily lacked the co-operation of the friend and colleague with whom I have worked in partnership since the foundation of the Graeco-Roman Branch. The effects of his absence are, I fear, likely to be apparent to the readers of this book not only in its somewhat reduced size, which on the present occasion corresponds with our advertised intentions more closely than has frequently been the case. In particular, the principal novelty here produced, the Callimachus papyrus (lOll), happens to abound in problems for the solution of which a second pair of eyes would have been more than usually valuable. In these circumstances it is a matter for much satisfaction that I have again been able to obtain the generous assistance of Professor U. von Wilamowitz-Moellendorff, who has made important contributions to the reconstruction and interpreta- tion of the new classical fragments (1011-1015), especially of 1011. For some further helpful suggestions on the last-named text I am indebted to Professor Gilbert Murray ; while Professor U, Wilcken has very kindly looked through the proofsheets of the non-literary documents, and they have naturally profited not a little from his criticism. I regret that the promised excursus on the excavations and topo- graphy of Oxyrhynchus has had to be postponed, and that I cannot undertake that it will be included in the volume for 1910, which will consist of another instalment of the Oxyrhynchus Papyri. But a plan of the site has been prepared, and I hope that its appearance will not be much longer delayed. ARTHUR S. HUNT. Queen's College, Oxford, December, 1909.

Of the new literary texts, two, 1011 and 1013, are printed in a dual form, a literal transcript being accompanied by a reconstruction in modern style. In other cases, and in the fragments of extant authors, the originals are repro- duced except for division of words, capital initials in proper names, expansion of abbreviations, and supplements of lacunae. Additions or corrections by the same hand as the body of the text are in small thin type, those by a different hand in thick type. Non-literary documents are given in modern form with accentuation and punctuation. Abbreviations and symbols are resolved ; addi- tions and corrections are usually incorporated in the text and their occurrence is recorded in the critical apparatus, where also faults of orthography, &c., are corrected if they seemed likely to give rise to any difficulty. Iota adscript has been printed when so written, otherwise iota subscript is employed. Square brackets indicate lacuna, round brackets ) the resolution of [ ] a ( a symbol or abbreviation, angular brackets ( ) a mistaken omission in the original, braces superfluous letter or letters, double square brackets a deletion in the { } a [[ 1] original. Dots placed within brackets represent the approximate number of letters lost or deleted ; dots outside brackets indicate mutilated or otherwise illegible letters. Letters with dots underneath them are to be considered doubtful. Heavy Arabic numerals refer to the texts of the Oxyrhynchus papyri in this volume and in Parts I-VI, ordinary numerals to lines, small Roman numerals to columns. The abbreviations used in referring to papyrological publications are practically those adopted in the Archiv fiir Papyrtisforsclmng, viz. : P. Amh. = The Amherst Papyri (Greek), Vols. I-II, by B. P.

  • Oxyrhynchus Papyrus 2069 and 1 Enoch 487 Quential As This Claim Is for Our Understanding of the Shape of the Enochic Corpus in the Fourth Century
    ]BL 129, no. 3 {2010): 485-505 OxyrhynchusPapyrus2069 and the Compositional History of 1 Enoch RANDALL D. CHESNUTT [email protected] Pepperdine University, Malibu, CA 90263 Among the ancient Greek papyri preserved in the Sacl<lerLibrary at Oxford University is a small cluster offragments that has not received due attention for its bearing on the compositional history of 1 Enoch. Recovered from an Oxyrhynchus rubbish dump and published by Arthur S. Hunt in 1927, the five fragments, all inscribed recto and verso, were designated P.Oxy.2069 and dated to the late fourth century c.E. 1 Based on the opening of heaven and the descent of an angel or other emissary envisioned in frg. 1, the largest of the five, Hunt labeled the manuscript an "apocalyptic fragment" but ventured no further identification. In support of this general characterization he cited apparent references to the day of judgment and seventh heaven in frg. 3r and two allusions in frg. 3v to the Red Sea-a scene of destruction perhaps intended as a type of the judgment More than four decades elapsed before a direct connection between the "apoc­ alyptic fragment" and any known apocalyptic work was perceived. As late as 1970 the two reference works by Albert-Marie Denis on Jewish pseudepigrapha extant in Greek could do no better than classifyP.Oxy.2069 among "fragmenta anonyma"2 or "fragments erratiques" under the general heading "les fragments grecs de pseudepigraphes anonyms:'3 Finally,in 1971 J6zefT. Milik recognized in these frag­ ments the Greek counterpart of lines known in Ethiopic from I Enoch 77- 78 and 1 Hunt, The OxyrhynchusPapyri, Part XVII (London: Egypt Exploration Fund, 1927), 6-8.

  • Apollod.] 3.5.5 (41 W.)
    Un’isola per i Phlegyai: Euph. CA fr. 115 e [Apollod.] 3.5.5 (41 W.) I bellicosi Phlegyai sono ricordati dalle fonti antiche per un’intensa attività di deva- stazione e rapina, praticata in diverse regioni del territorio greco e non di rado sfo- ciata in manifestazioni di somma empietà: oltre che in Tessaglia (Laceria, Girtone), essi sono localizzati in Beozia (Orcomeno, area della Copaide), in Focide (Daulide, Panopeo) e anche nel Peloponneso (Epidauro). La prima attestazione di questo po- polo è una similitudine iliadica, in cui i due eroi Meriones e Idomeneus, mentre pro- cedono in armi verso la battaglia, vengono paragonati ad Ares e al figlio Phobos nell’atto di intervenire in un conflitto tra Phlegyai ed Ephyroi. Alla notizia di tale conflitto, si aggiungono varie testimonianze che documentano assalti contro Tebe e contro Delfi. Nel primo caso, sappiamo che per contrastare i Phlegyai, Amphion e Zethos furono costretti a fortificare la loro città, ma alla morte dei gemelli Tebe si trovò inerme agli attacchi degli invasori, capitanati da Eurymachos. In Focide, la hybris flegia raggiunse il culmine con l’attacco al tempio di Apollo, avvenimento che lasciò anche un segno nella lingua locale – dove φλεγυᾶν significava ὑβρίζειν – e favorí la nascita di tradizioni in merito a interventi in difesa del luogo sacro, co- me quello del corpo argivo di uomini scelti, guidato da Philammon e completamente annientato, o quello degli Arcadi di Elatos, figlio di Arkas, che era rimasto in Focide dopo la fondazione di Elateia. Alla ricerca di nuove terre da saccheggiare, infine, pa- re che Phlegyas si fosse spinto addirittura sino a Epidauro, accompagnato dalla figlia Koronis, la quale in questo luogo si sarebbe sgravata di Asklepios, di nascosto dal padre1.

Every effort has, therefore, been made to avoid unnecessary technicalities, and no Greek words or phrases have been used without their English equi­ valents. At the same time, even though it involves some repetition of matter I have published elsewhere, I have tried to give at least an indication of the principal points in the whole field of inquiry. For the sake of those who wish to pursue the subject further, full references are given in the Notes to the sources from which the documents made use of are drawn, and also to some of the most vii vm Here and There among the Papyri accessible literature dealing with the questions at issue.

  • How the Books Became the Bible: the Evidence for Canon Formation
    How the Books Became the Bible The Evidence for Canon Formation from Work-Combinations in Manuscripts* Michael Dormandy, University of Cambridge Abstract: This paper contributes to a developing conversation about the New Testa- ment canon. I consider the way manuscripts combine different works and investigate to what extent, even before canon lists became widespread, manuscripts combined only those works that were later affirmed as canonical. My method is to establish the works contained in all Greek New Testament manuscripts, dating from before the end of the fourth century. There are a number of cases where only a fragment survives, containing a small part of one work, but where there are also page numbers that enable us to esti- mate what else might have been present. My results demonstrate that the works that are now considered canonical were rarely combined with works now considered noncanon- ical. However, they also demonstrate that single-work manuscripts were widespread. 1. Introduction The origins of the New Testament canon continue to be a subject of controversy. In this paper, I aim to examine what light can be shed on this question by considering how literary works are combined in manuscripts. The scholarly debate on the canon is complex, but nevertheless it is possible to identify at least two types of view: the “open canon” and the “closed canon.” Two ideas characterize the open canon view, though not all scholars who hold one necessarily hold the other. Firstly, the open canon view, as represented by Jens Schröter and Geoffrey Mark Hahneman, holds that the canon did not become established until the fourth century.

OXFORD HORACE HART, PRINTER TO THE UNIVERSITY PREFACE For the rather late appearance of this vokime the nature of its contents will perhaps in some degree be accepted as an excuse. It includes two texts of more than usual importance and interest, the new fragments of Sophocles and the Life of Etiripidcs by Satyrus. In the reconstruction and elucidation of these I have again been most fortunate in obtaining the invaluable aid of Professor U. von Wilamowitz-M Ollendorff. I am also under considerable obligations, more particularly with regard to the Sophoclean fragments, to Professor Gilbert Murray.

  • New Sappho” and “Newest Sappho”
    The Study of Historical and Philological Papyrology: Case Studies “New Sappho” and “Newest Sappho” A Thesis submitted to the Faculty of Graduate Studies of The University of Manitoba In partial fulfillment of the requirements of the degree of MASTER OF ARTS Department of Classics University of Manitoba Winnipeg, Manitoba Copyright © 2018 by Bianca Lysette Claudio Abstract This thesis investigates how a recently discovered papyrus fragment is analyzed by examining closely two new Sappho papyri found within the last decade, known as the “Newest Sappho” and “New Sappho” respectively. The former consists of a set of fragments discovered in 2014 by Dirk Obbink which contains both the Brothers Song and Kypris Song; the latter denotes another set of fragments including the Tithonus Song, published by Martin Gronewald and Robert Daniel in 2004. The investigation of the new discoveries will be divided into two case studies: the first will be focused on the P. Sapph. Obbink fragment and its Brothers Song, exploring the possibility that the Brothers Song is not necessarily Sappho’s work, but rather an example of an ancient imitation. The second case study will be focused on Sappho’s Tithonus Song, as preserved in P.Köln. inv. 21351+21376. My investigation for this section will proceed first by identifying the actual length of the Tithonus Song – examining where the poem begins and where it ends, and continue by addressing how Sappho interprets old age in her poem. Each of the two case studies will be divided further into two methodologies – a papyrological and philological approach – which will govern my analysis, addressing certain problems and issues that are unique to each find.

  • OLDEST SYNOPTIC GOSPELS PAPYRI the Earliest Copies of Manuscripts of the Greek New Testament
    OLDEST SYNOPTIC GOSPELS PAPYRI The earliest copies of manuscripts of the Greek New Testament (the language the New Testament was written in originally) are found on fragments of pa­ pyrus (pI. papyri, often abbreviated p), a type of paper made from reeds that grow along the Nile River in Egypt. Much, but not all, of the Greek New Tes­ tament survives in the papyri.

    JBL 129, no. 3 (2010): 575–596 A New Testament Papyrus and Its Documentary Context: An Early Christian Writing Exercise from the Archive of Leonides (P.Oxy. II 209/p10) annemarie luijendijk [email protected] Princeton University, Princeton, NJ 08544 In this article I present a NT papyrus (P. Ox y. II 209/p10) as part of a known archive. Although scholars have been familiar with this papyrus and its NT text, they have not known its larger social context. The identification of this piece as part of an archive allows a glimpse into the life and social milieu of its owner: a lit- erate man from the ancient Egyptian city of Oxyrhynchus, a flax merchant and a member of a guild, with connections to a church reader. As such, it is the first and only ancient instance where we know the owner of a Greek NT papyrus. I. The Papyrus and Its Texts P. Ox y. II 209 preserves Rom 1:1–7, the proemium of the apostle Paul’s Letter to the Romans. With its Pauline pericope, this papyrus is a constant witness to the text of the NT. It ranks as Papyrus 10 (p10) of the NT papyri and thus belongs I am grateful to Roger S. Bagnall for his help in identifying this archive and for his other valuable suggestions in developing this project. I thank Laura S. Nasrallah, the members of the Papyrological Seminar in New York City, and the anonymous reviewer for this journal for their helpful comments and input. I presented different parts of this paper at the 25th International Congress of Papyrology (Ann Arbor, July 2007) and at the conference “Lire les papyrus du Nou- veau Testament avec les autres papyrus d’Égypte” (Lausanne, Switzerland, October 2009) and thank the audiences for their feedback.
