UTAH OXFORD HORACE HART PRINTER TO THE UNIVERSITY PREFACE Of the new literary pieces here published, 1231 and 1233-5 pro- ceed from the second of the large literary finds of 1906, with some small additions from the work of the next season. The remainder, with the extant and non-literary papyri, were for the most part found in 1903-4. It is a great pleasure to be able to restore to the title-page of this volume the name of the friend and colleague whose absence during the last five years has been so much regretted. The earlier portion of the book was already in shape when Dr. Grenfell came back to Oxford, but he has shared in the editing of the non-literary texts, besides helping materially in the revision of the whole. In future we hope to return to the old division of labour, and so by degrees to reduce the arrears in the publications of the Graeco- Roman Branch. To Professor U. von Wilamowitz-Moellendorff I am under fresh obligations for most generous assistance in connexion with the new classical texts, 1231-41. Professor U. Wilcken has repeated his kind service of reading the non-literary documents in proof and affording the benefit of his criticism ; and Professor L. Mitteis, as on many previous occasions, has given valuable advice on some points of Graeco-Roman law. To these scholars, as to one or two others from whom occasional welcome contributions have been received, belong the hearty thanks of both the editors of this volume and its readers. ARTHUR S. HUNT.

TABLE OF PAPYRI — NOTE ON THE METHOD OF PUBLICATION AND LIST OF ABBREVIATIONS The general method followed in this volume is the same as that in Parts I-IX. Of the new literary texts, 1224 and 1231-4 are printed in a dual form, a literal transcript being accompanied by a reconstruction in modern style ; 1242 is given in modern form only. In the others, and in the fragments of extant authors, the originals are reproduced 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 ; additions and corrections are usually incorporated in the text, their occurrence being 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 a lacuna, round brackets [ ] ( ) the resolution of a symbol or abbreviation, angular brackets ( ) a mistaken omission in the original, braces { } a superfluous letter or letters, double square brackets a deletion in the 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-IX, 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 Papyrtisforschung, viz. : P. Amh. = The Amherst Papyri (Greek), Vols. I-II, by B. P. Grenfell and A. S. Hunt. Archiv = Archiv fiir apyrusforschung. B. G. U. = Aeg. Urkunden aus den K. Museen zu Berlin, Griechische Urkunden. P. Brit. Mus. = Greek Papyri in the British Museum, Vols.
