  • Oxyrhynchus and Oracles in Late Antiquity
    Chapter 9 Oxyrhynchus and Oracles in Late Antiquity Alexander Kocar1 “O my Lord God Almighty and Saint Philoxenus my patron, I beseech you by the great name of the Lord God, if it is your will and you are helping me to take the banking-business, I beseech you to bid me learn this, and speak.” These sentences were penned on a small piece of papyrus found at Oxyrhynchus, published as P.Harr. I 54. On the basis of this manuscript, and its “twin,” P.Oxy. XVI 1926, Herbert Youtie demonstrated the presence of lot oracles at the shrine of Philoxenus in Oxyrhynchus.2 These two nearly identically worded manuscripts from the same hand provide evidence for the divinatory practice in which the petitioner would write two lots, one with a positive response and the other negative, and submit both to the shrine. This chapter adds another dimension to the divinatory rites practiced at the shrine to Philoxenus by arguing that oracular codices – consulted alongside and mediated by a ritual expert – were likely in use at the shrine as well. To this end, this chapter situates two previously unpublished miniature manuscripts among the divinatory practices of the late antique Egyptian city of Oxyrhynchus.3 I provide a translation of two fragmentary Coptic miniature oracular codices uncovered during the sixth season of excavations at Oxyrhynchus, inv. 68 6B.24/F(1–3)a and 67 6B.15/F(1–5)a, that I am editing for the Egypt Exploration Society’s publication series, The Oxyrhynchus 1 I wish to express my gratitude to AnneMarie Luijendijk and Bill Klingshirn for inviting me to participate in the conference on sortes.

Roman politician, who was a patron of Epicurean philosophers. The villa was lost from history in A.D. 79 in the catastrophic eruption of Mt. Vesuvius when it was buried by tons of thick volcanic mud that gradually hardened to a concrete-like consistency. Workers searching for artistic treasures in the villa were rewarded by the discovery of many important works of art-in particular a series of bronze busts. Rather than excavating the villa in the traditional manner which would have meant removing the huge layer of volcanic debris that covered the villa, they simply tunneled down through the concrete-like volcanic mud and then around the villa. In the course of their excavations they discovered the carbonized remains of a library of some 1500 papyri rolls-thus the name Villa of the Papyri.

  • The Atheism of Epicurus , Greek, Roman and Byzantine Studies, 30:2 (1989) P.187
    OBBINK, DIRK, The Atheism of Epicurus , Greek, Roman and Byzantine Studies, 30:2 (1989) p.187 The Atheism of Epicurus Dirk Obbink PICURUS, who defines himself in opposition to notorious E atheists of the classical period, argues emphatically in extant works for the existence of a supremely blessed, living, and imperishable form of divinity ('tov 9£ov ~cpov acp9ap'tov Kat J.1a­ KUptoV). Yet there was a tradition current in many circles in antiquity that Epicurus was himself an atheist;! and in modern times his hedonism and his opposition to teleology have often been equated with a general godlessness and contempt for traditional religion.2 Scholars have long puzzled over just how this discrepancy 1 E.g. Cic. Nat.D. 1.123 citing Posidonius (fr.22a Edelstein-Kidd=346 Theiler, quoted 208 infra); 1.85 (Cotta). Cf Sext. Emp. Math. 9.58 (209 infra); Pluto Mor. 1102B, 1112D, 1119D-E, 1123E; Lact. De ira Dei 4.7 (Posidonius fr.22b E.-K.=346 Th.); Inst.Epit. 31.3. A more complete list in M. Winiarczyk, "Wer galtimAltertum als Atheist?" Philologus 128 (1984) 157-83 at 168-70. 2 A common sentiment is Clem. Alex. Protr. 5.66.5 (CCS 52 [15] p.51.6-9 Stahlin­ Treu): 'E1ttKOUPOU ~EV yap ~6vou Kal.

  • Cultic Contexts for Elegiac Performance
    OUP CORRECTED PROOF – FINAL, 16/1/2016, SPi 1 Cultic Contexts for Elegiac Performance Ewen Bowie (Corpus Christi College, Oxford) A scattering of testimonia in Greek texts, mainly of the Hellenistic and imperial period, had always made it clear that elegy was used in the archaic and early classical eras for substantial narrative poems.1 That evidence was not given much attention until I argued in the 1980s for the existence of a body of such elegiac poetry which constituted an important genre or form distinct from that of the shorter elegiac songs composed for and transmitted by performance in symposia.2 The publication in 1992 of papyrus fragments of elegiac poems by Simonides on the battles of Plataea and Artemisium seemed to some extent to support this claim, though a poem on a single battle, even if a poem of several hundred lines, is rather different from what I had proposed as the nature of Mimnermus’ Smyrneis, Tyrtaeus’ Eunomia, or Xenophanes’ two thousand lines on the foundation of Colophon and emigration to Elia in Italy.3 One of 1 I am very grateful to the editors for their suggestions for improvement of this paper, and also to Claude Calame, who made helpful proposals for improvement of a shortened version of the paper which will appear in French in Calame and Ellinger (forthcoming). 2 Bowie (1986). I do not wish here to enter the debate whether the terminology ‘genre’, used by Rossi (1971), or ‘form’, proposed by Calame (1974), is more apposite. 3 For the Simonides poem see Boedeker and Sider (2001); for my own reflections in the light of the Simonides and Archilochus papyrus fragments see Bowie (2001a), (2010a), (2010b); for a critique of the categorization of such poetry as ‘historical elegy’ see Sider (2006).

  • 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.

  • P.Oxy. II 209/P10)
    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.
