The papyri of Antiphon Sophistes (1384) and Thucydides (1376) belong to the first of the large literary finds in 1906, the lyric pieces and one of the Hesiod fragments (1359) to the second, of which much still remains to be published. The invocation of I sis (1380) and praise of Imouthes-Asclepius (1381) were found in 1903, the Byzantine classical pieces in 1897, ^^e rest chiefly in 1905-6. In editing the new classical fragments, especially the poetical pieces (1358-1363), we have received valuable suggestions and criticisms from Prof. Gilbert Murray. The assistance afforded by Mr. T. W. Allen, F. E. Brightman, Mr. W. E. Crum, Dr. J. V. Bartlet, the Rev. E. Mr. F. LI. Griffith, Mr. E. Lobel, Mr. J. G. Milne, the Rev. M. Walker, and Prof. U. von Wilamowitz-Moellendorff is acknowledged in connexion with the individual papyri. Part XII, consisting of documents of the late Ptolemaic, Roman, and early Byzantine periods, is in an advanced state of preparation, and we hope to issue it earty in 191 6. BERNARD P. GRENFELL.

Late ist cent. b. c 186 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-X. Of the new classical texts, 1360-2 are printed in a dual form, a literal transcript being accompanied by a reconstruction in modern style. In the others, and in the fragments of extant authors, the originals are reproduced except for separation 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. The Graeco-Egyptian literary texts and 1357, which is a non-literary document, are given in modern form with accentuation and punctuation. Abbrevia- tions and symbols are resolved ; additions and corrections are 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 Parts I-X, 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 Papyrusforschimg^ viz. : P. Amh. = The Amherst Papyri (Greek), Vols. I-II, by B. P.
