The more extensive of these, including 1787-90, 1792, 1798, 1800, 1805-6, 1808, 1810, belong mainly to the second large literary find of 1905-6; others proceed from the work of different seasons, and a few, of which the most important are 1786 and 1793, were acquired by purchase on the site of Oxyrhynchus by Professor Grenfell during his visit to Egypt in the winter of 1919-20. That unfortunately remains my colleague's chief contribution to the following pages : a few of the minor texts were originally copied by him, and he was able to revise my copies of a few others ; the rest of the work involved in the preparation of this book has fallen to myself a fact which accounts for some delay in its appearance and for many defects in its execution. I am again indebted to Mr. E. Lobel for much assistance with the new classical texts, and especially the fragments of Lesbian poetry. Valuable suggestions at an early stage were received from Professor Gilbert Murray, and Professor A. E. Housman kindly sent notes on a few passages in the poetical pieces. My thanks are also due to Professor H. Stuart Jones for a transcript in modern form of the musical notation of the early Christian hymn, No. 1786, and to some other scholars for help on special points, which is acknowledged in connexion with the texts concerned.

In the remaining texts the originals are reproduced except for separation of words, capital initials in proper names, some expansions of abbreviations, and supplements of lacunae. Additions or corrections by the hand of the body of the text are in small thin type, those in thick type. brackets indicate lacuna, round by a different hand Square [ ] a resolution of a symbol or abbreviation, angular brackets brackets ( ) the ( ) a departure from the text of the original, braces { } a superfluous letter or letters, double square brackets a deletion in the original. Dots 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 regarded as doubtful. Heavy Arabic numerals refer to the texts of the Oxyrhynchus Papyri in this volume and Parts I-XIV ; ordinary numerals to lines, small Roman numerals to columns. The terms recto and verso when used of vellum fragments refer to the upper and under sides of the leaf, where these are determinable. P. Amh. = The Amherst Papyri, Vols. I-II, by B. P. Grenfell and A. S. Hunt. P. Grenf. = Greek Papyri, Series I-II, by B. P. Grenfell and A. $. Hunt. P. Halle = Dikaiomata, &c., von der Graeca Halensis. P.

The following small but valuable fragment of the Apology of Aristides in the original Greek is contained on the upper part of a leaf from a papyrus book, adjoined by a narrow strip from the other leaf of the sheet. How the sheet was folded, i.e. what was the relative order of the two leaves, and what was the position of the sheet in the quire cannot be determined ; since, however, the strip from the second leaf is inscribed with but a single word, these questions are of slight importance. The handwriting is a handsome well-formed uncial, which though somewhat smaller and more compact has a decided general resemblance to that of 847, a leaf from a vellum MS. of St. John's Gospel, and like that specimen may be assigned with probability to the fourth century. No punctua- tion occurs. 6(6s is contracted in the usual way, but audpunros and apparently ovpavos were written out in full (11. 32, 37). Some inaccuracies may be detected in the text, which seems to have been of mediocre quality ; cf. nn. on 11. 26 sqq. and 33. The Apology is a recent addition to early Christian literature. The first step towards its recovery was made in 1878 with the publication of an Armenian translation of the first few chapters from two MSS. in the Lazarist monastery at Venice. This was followed eleven years later by Dr. Rendel Harris's find at Sinai of a complete version in Syriac ; and shortly afterwards Dr. Armitage Robinson, who had seen Dr. Harris's work in proof, recognized that the Apology was actually already extant in Greek, having been embedded in the early mediaeval romance, the History of Barlaam and Josaphat. The outcome of these fortunate discoveries was the joint edition by the two scholars of the Apology of Aristides in Texts and Studies, I.

An average of eight letters per line are written along the fibers. The back is blank. As the papyrus is broken on all sides, the original margins cannot be estimated, but the average width of each letter (0.45 cm) suggests that column width would have been approximately 16 cm, if each line were preserved to its full extent.1 There are four vertical cracks on the left side of the papyrus. The text offers no new readings. The hand is roughly bilinear, exhibiting many characteristics of the “for- mal mixed” or “severe” style.2 Bilinearity is interrupted below the line by the letters ρ, υ, and φ (e.g., in lines 45, 49, and 53) and more subtly by the letters α and χ (e.g., in lines 45 and 46). The vertical descenders in the letters ρ and υ occasionally curve to the left (e.g., in line 49).

  • Homer's Odyssey in the Hands of Its Allegorists: Many Paths to Explain the Cosmos
    Safari Grey Homer’s Odyssey in the Hands of its Allegorists: Many Paths to Explain the Cosmos Summary The allegorical exegetic tradition was arguably the most popular form of literary criticism in antiquity. Amongst the ancient allegorists we encounter a variety of names and philo- sophic backgrounds spanning from Pherecydes of Syros to Proclus the Successor. Many of these writers believed that Homer’s epics revealed philosophical doctrines through the means of hyponoia or ‘undermeanings’.Within this tradition was a focus on cosmological, cosmogonical and theological matters which attracted a variety of commentators despite their philosophical backgrounds. It is the intention of this paper to draw attention to two writers: Heraclitus, and Porphyry of Tyre. This paper also intends to demonstrate that the tradition of cosmic allegorical exegesis is still practiced in modern scholarship. Keywords: Homer; literary criticism; allegory; Heraclitus; Porphyry; cosmology; metaphor Die allegorische exegetische Tradition war wohl die populärste Form der Literaturkritik in der Antike. Unter den antiken Allegorien begegnen wir einer Vielzahl von Namen und phi- losophischen Hintergründen, die von Pherecydes von Syros bis zu Proclus der Nachfolger reichen. Viele dieser Autoren glaubten, Homers Epen enthüllten philosophische Lehren durch Hyponoie oder ,Unterschätzung‘. In dieser Tradition lag der Fokus auf kosmologi- schen, kosmogonischen und theologischen Fragen, die trotz ihrer philosophischen Hinter- gründe eine Vielzahl von Kommentatoren anzogen.

In this study, I have read a large amount of poetry and have studied several books on prosody, the most influential of which was Poetic Meter and Poetic Form by Paul Fussell. This splendid book increased vastly my knowledge of poetry. and through it and other books, I became a much more sensitive, intelligent reader of poems. The problem with my study came when I tried to decide how to in­ corporate what I had learned into a scholarly paper, for it seemed that any attempt.to do so would result in the mere parroting of the words of Paul Fussell and others.

Department of ^MQrUtSM The University of British Columbia Vancouver, Canada Date oa- it mi DE-6 (2/88) ABSTRACT Thomas Hardy's elegy to A.C. Swinburne, composed in 1910 shortly after his death, points to a poetic relationship between the two poets which goes beyond admiration or influence. The relationship between Hardy and Swinburne has not been adequately explored by twentieth century critics, and it is the central purpose of this thesis to examine more closely parallels between them on the level of technique. Analysis of Hardy's elegy entitled "A Singer Asleep" suggests how Hardy may have identified with Swinburne on the level of technique.

    Heraclitus and the Moon: The New Fragments in P.Oxy. 3710 WALTER BURKERT The editio maior of Heraclitus by Miroslav Marcovich' will remain a model and a thesaurus of scholarship for a long time, especially since there is little hope that the amount of evidence preserved in ancient literature will substantially increase. Still, two remarkable additions have come to light from papyri in recent years, the quotation of B 94 = 52 M. and B 3 = 57 M. in the Derveni papyrus,^ which takes the attestation of these texts with one stroke back to the 5th century B.C., and especially the totally new and surprising texts contained in the learned commentary on Book 20 of the Odyssey which was published in 1986 as Oxyrhynchus Papyrus 3710 by Michael W. Haslam, with rich and thoughtful notes.^ It was Martin West who called attention to these fragments in 1987;^* they appeared too late to be included in the new editions of Heraclitus by Diano, Conche and Robinson.^ Immediately after West, Mouraviev proposed an alternative reading and interpretation.^ It may still appear that the precious new sayings of Heraclitus are either obscure or trivial or both. Another approach to achieve a better understanding may well be tried. The commentary on the Odyssey preserved in Oxyrhynchus Papyrus 3710 is astonishingly rich in quotations. The passage concerned is Odyssey 20. 156, with the mention of a "festival" which turns out to be a festival of Heraclitus. Greek Text with a Short Commentary by M.

  • Greco-Roman Egypt
    World Archaeology at the Pitt Rivers Museum: A Characterization edited by Dan Hicks and Alice Stevenson, Archaeopress 2013, page 115-121 7 Greco-Roman Egypt Christina Riggs 7.1 Introduction Egypt enjoyed close trade links with the Greek-speaking Mediterranean from the 7th century BCE, cemented by the foundation of a Greek colony at Naukratis in the Delta and the widespread use of Greek mercenaries in the Egyptian army. Egypt formally became part of the Greek world in 332 BCE, when Alexander the Great took the country from Persian hands, and this date marks the start of the Greco-Roman Period of Egyptian history. Egypt subsequently became a Hellenistic kingdom ruled by Alexander’s former general Ptolemy son of Lagos, founder of the Ptolemaic Dynasty. Cleopatra VII was the last ruler of the Dynasty, and her defeat at the hands of the Roman Octavian, later Augustus, in 30 BCE made Egypt a province of the nascent Roman Empire, which it remained until the 640s. This Chapter considers the c. 252 Greco-Roman (332 BCE–650 CE) objects from Egypt in the Pitt Rivers Museum (PRM), which form only a small part of its c. 11,639-strong Egyptian archaeological collections. The Greco-Roman Period in Egypt witnessed a number of political, social, and cultural developments. In the early part of the Ptolemaic period, Greek immigrants, and in particular military veterans, settled in the Delta, the Fayum, and in smaller concentrations throughout the Nile Valley, and frequently married into Egyptian families. The ensuing hellenization of the upper and middle strata of Egyptian society was well advanced by the start of the new Roman regime, which recognized and encouraged it, and favoured the use of Greek over Egyptian language.
