PREFACE
In accordance with the chronological arrangement adopted by
us in the publication of the Oxyrhynchus Papyri, the present volume
is

devoted to second century

texts,

logical

and some of the

classical

papyri.

THEOLOGICAL FRAGMENTS

St.

Matthew's Gospel,

I-II.

X 9-5

c"i

These few verses from the end of the first and the beginning of the second chapter of the Gospel according to St. Matthew are contained on part of a leaf from a vellum book. Unless the text was in double columns, which would make
the book a very unlikely .shape, the leaves were unusually small in size
;

for

though the columns are incomplete at both top and bottom only two or three lines are missing between the last line of the verso and the first of the recto. The handwriting, which is in well-formed slightly sloping uncials of medium size, may be assigned to the fifth or sixth century. It is somewhat faded, and a second hand has here and there rewritten letters and lectional signs with a darker ink,

made by the original scribe, who was not very careful. judge from this fragment, the te.xt followed by the MS. was a good one, having afinities with the Codex Sinaiticus. We give a collation with the text of Westcott and Hort and with the Textus Receptus.

But now, ye peoples and nations, ye are debtors because all this time ye have trodden down the earth, and used the creation unrighteously.' 21-2. 'For ye were always being benefited but were always ungrateful.' The Syriac has For I have always benefited you and ye have always denied the beneficence,' which differs by the introduction of the first person, and the use of an active instead of a passive verb in the first half of the sentence. Prof. Charles notes that the order of the words in the Syriac is unusual, and a corruption may be suspected. 23-5. 'And I answered and said "Behold, thou hast shown me the methods of the times and that which will be." The Syriac differs slightly by having a singular word for and by inserting after these things after will be.' The 25-7. It is clear that the Greek and Syriac here diverged from each other. Syriac has and thou hast said unto me that the retribution which was spoken of by thee will be of advantage to the nations.' As Prof. Charles acutely remarks, the idea of a remedial chastisement of the Gentiles seems out of place, and something is probably wrong with the Syriac text. The verb found in the Greek, does not suggest anything like be of advantage to,' and taken in conjunction with the meaning ' endured is in every way more satisfactory. Of the two doubtful letters at the beginning of 1. 26 the second could be , , or t, but the first, if not , can only be p, and or p[o]i is very intractable, while a compound of is required. The phrase will be of advantage to,' to which Prof. Charles objected, may therefore be regarded as an error of the Syriac translator. In some other respects Prof. Charles seems to us to have slightly exaggerated the inconsistencies in chapters x-xiv cf. p. 34 of his edition, does not seem an impossible description of the prophecy in ch. xiii, and if the retribution spoken of by thee is first mentioned by the cities, not by God, nevertheless it occurs in a speech put by the voice from the height into the mouth of the prosperous cities,' of whom the abrupt mention (cf.

Owing to the number of variations in the text of this passage (Matt. iii. 16-7) and the irregularities of the papyrus with regard to the ends of lines, as shown by Col. i, in 1. 18 in 1. 14 and some of the restorations are rather doubtful.

Four

fragments of a lyric work

Pindaric dialect written in medium-sized

uncials, with

a few corrections and marginal notes in various hands. On the verso are some money accounts in a second century cursive. The writing on the recio, which bears much resemblance to that of the semi-uncial contracts

from Oxyrhynchus of the Domitian-Trajan period (e. g. 270), belongs to the early part of the second century or even to the end of the first. Sub-divisions of the poern are indicated by paragraphi, while an elaborate coronis apparently marks the beginning of a new poem, as in the Bacchylides papyrus; the high stop is

employed, and occasional breathings, accents, and marks of elision and quantity occur. Fragment (b) probably belongs to the second column of fragment (a), and since this arrangement accounts for forty-eight lines in this column, it is
unlikely that

more than two or

three,

if

any, lines are lost between those two

fragments.

The

position of fragments

Column ii, which succeeds without a break, is in a more satisfactory condition. Probably a new scene opens at 1. 39, from which point as far as 1. 53 we have a dialogue between

two persons who are walking in the street followed by a slave carrying wine-jars One of them is infuriated by the sight of the parasite, Struthias, whom 47). he declares (11. 45-53) he would like to unmask in the open market-place. Below 1. 53 is a coronis and a short line; and then another dialogue succeeds in which the speakers are the familiar young man (A.) and his tutor (B. ; cf. 1. 55 the latter of whom makes a speech of some length upon the iniquities It would at first sight be natural to suppose of the race of parasites (11. 55-63). that a change of scene occurred at 1. 54, and that the short line is a stage But what remains of 1. 54 does not seem to suit this view, while direction.

In the third column a different and apparently more dramatic scene opens, the transition to which is lost with the first few lines. This column is detached from the preceding two, but that it followed them immediately is rendered almost certain by the fact that this accords not only

There is then hardly room for doubt that was the next scene of the play but although twenty lines remain, of which not more than a few letters or syllables are missing, the situation is very obscure. There is apparently only one change of speaker (1. 89) the soldier Bios, a leno, and a girl seem to be involved but their relations are not made clear, and the Eunnchns seems to provide no definite clue. The mention of in 1. 82, with the passage in the next speech (11. 91-4) If he perceives it he will come bringing sixty comrades, even as many as Odysseus took with him to Troy, with shouts and threats,' may recall the scene {Eunuch, iv. 7) where Thraso with his comrades prepares to attack the house of Thais, a passage with which Blass also connects the Fayilm fragment referred to above but it is difficult to work out the

Changes of speaker are marked by double dots and paragraphi as in the fragment (211) stops are frequently added, the high point as a rule being used, though the middle (so apparently at the ends of 11. 6 and 35) and low point (1. 44) also occur, and accents, breathings, &c., are found here and there most or all of these lection signs are by the first hand.

The columns lean over rather markedly to the right. Quotations usually, though not always, project by a letter or two into the left margin, as in other papyri of this period (cf. e.g. 220). The text is not very good, and in several passages the corruption has gone considerably deeper than the mere debasement of the dialect.

any point in these two columns the monologue of the mistress by other speakers is a matter of some doubt. The sentences are in the original divided off by an oblique dash (see the critical notes) and at two points (at the end of 1. 117 and in the middle of 1. 185) the dash is preceded by three short horizontal strokes. Possibly this sign should be interpreted as an indication of a change of speaker, which would in either case suit the context. Thus in 1. 117 KvpC would = the natural mode of address from a slave to his mistress and in 1. 187 implies the entrance of a new character (the old husband ?), to whom may be attributed the words ovai But if so the scribe was not consistent in the use of this sign, which should have been repeated when the previous speaker resumed and if omitted in these cases, it may be absent entirely in some others where an interchange of speakers might be supposed to occur, e.g. 1. 172 ro ... 1. 178 at ; But this is not necessary, and we do not feel satisfied that the other two passages cannot be explained on the hypothesis that the piece is a monologue

The situations disclosed in the farce shows some skill in construction, and when on the stage may have been amusing enough even without the coarser elements while the mime, though without the accompanying action it is sometimes obscure, has considerable vigour and dramatic force. Not improbably these two pieces were once performed in the theatre of Oxyrhynchus, and they may be regarded as typical of the performances upon the provincial stages at this time. In short, they afford a most interesting glimpse into the music-hall of the period immediately following that which is represented by the Alexandrian

These lines are enclosed in the papyrus by a circular stroke which passes through 1. 30, and there can be no doubt that it was intended that their place should be taken by Col. iv of the verso. This is indicated by the note at the bottom, which is in the same handwriting as the verso. The fact that in relation to the foregoing column the letters of the note are upside down is unusual, and would be expected rather than but would represent the point of view of the writer of the ; mime, and the practical identity of 1. 30 with 11. 188-9 ^dds a conclusive proof that the column on the verso was meant to be inserted at this point.

At the end of the line we should perhaps read (/)[, as in 11. 83-5. 83. Assuming that it is worth while to attempt to bring the barbarian language in this piece into relation with any known speech, the key is possibly to be found in late Pali or old Prakrit. We owe to Dr. G. A. Grierson the suggestion that in the present passage, may represent pano amrta, drink (or life ') and nectar,' which for instance, in 11. 35 and 205 Similarly he would connect suits the context remarkably well. with the Pali alam enough,' stop,' -ka being a substantival suffix which an ignorant Greek

The text is written on the verso of the papyrus

Irenaeus from his collection of the Conikortmi Fragmcnta.

Prose Fragments.

Under these numbers are included a variety of small prose fragments which we have not succeeded in identifying. Two (435-6) are historical, three (437-9)
of a philosophical character, the remainder, with the possible exceptions of 441

and 444, are oratorical. 435 contains parts of two columns written

Of

the numerous

Homeric papyri of the Roman

period which have been

points of interest and importance as the book of the Iliad, written in a medium-sized uncial hand with critical marks and occasional marginal notes, and containing While the critical marks, parts of 11. J 28, 134-7, 148, 173-94, 199, and 445-end. which include the diple, antisigma, and asterisk, are all due to the first hand, in the marginal notes two or three hands are probably to be distinguished, though owing to the paucity of the material for forming a judgement it is impossible to classify them with certainty. To the first corrector, whom we will call A and who employed a small semi-uncial hand, we should assign the notes on 11. 128, 148, and 449. together with all the superscribed variants. To the second (B), who wrote a small more cursive hand, belongs the note on 1. 464; and to a third (C), who wrote a larger cursive, that on 1. 478. The figure at the end, giving apparently the number of lines in the book, is cursively written but apparently by the first hand, and it is possible that either A or

The

out of the question as the date of the papyrus,

and both text and notes suggest the second century or the beginning of the third. Breathings and accents are occasionally, and elision-marks generally, used, and the punctuation is careful, the high point being employed, except in 11. 477 and 496, where the middle point occurs, indicating a slighter pause. In its disposition of critical marks the papyrus as a rule accords with the Venetus A, but there are some divergences cf. notes on 11. 183 and 189.

This is also upright and rather large, but lighter and more ornate. Accents, breathings (usually acute-angled), marks of elision, &c., and high stops have been added with some frequency, mostly by a second hand, which has also introduced some corrections into the text the marks of elision, however, seem to be mainly due to the original scribe.

second century.

Stops are

63 and 87, and a point opposite the middle of the preceding letter in 11. 50 and 1 8, though whether these were really intended to represent a different pause is doubtful. There are a few corrections,
occasionally found, a high point in
1

sometimes in a different hand. Being the first papyrus of part of the Gorgias to be discovered, the fragment is of considerable interest, though the text is not very good. There are numerous minor variations from the later MSS., but most of these It is noticeable, cf notes on 11. 9, 18, 34, 40, 79, 105, and 116. are clearly wrong however, that in one passage (1. 51) the papyrus agrees with the text of

fragment from Egypt now at Munich, recently published with a commentary


Boll (Archiv, I. pp. 492 sqq.). The Munich fragment, which is written on vellum and is several centuries later than the papyrus, also gives a list of deities with an account of the signs, events, and sicknesses associated with them, but is arranged on a somewhat different plan, the deities being connected not with particular groups of days, but with various stars or constellations, which

Dr. Boll, to

For those who are nnfamiliar with ancient astronomy we quote Mr. Smyly's explanation of the

The constellations of the zodi.ic are twelve in number, represented by somewhat arbitrary figures of men and animals, of unknown antiquity they are irregular in size and position, and some consider that in Kgypt they were connected with the equator rather

THE OXYRHYNCHUS PAPYRI

His explanation of the relation of for the following valuable note upon the passage. the zodiac to the Egyptian year is not only new but serves to clear away many difficulties It is clear from and apparent inconsistencies arising from the various references to it. thus the compiler of the calendar identified the too that Pisces began with Pachon i 1. months of the Egyptian year with the signs or with the constellations of the zodiac Thoth Cancer, Phaophi = Leo, Athur=Virgo, Choiak=Libra, Tubi=Scorpio, echeir= SagitAries, Pisces, Pauni tarius, Phamenoth= Capricorn, Pharmouthi= Aquarius, Pachon Epeiph= Taurus, Mesore = Gemini. At first sight this would seem to indicate a tropical solar year beginning with the summer solstice on Thoth i, the months being determined by the signs of the zodiac through vhich the sun was passing. There is, however, very little evidence for an Egyptian year which began at the summer solstice and much for one beginning at the heliacal rising of Sirius, and in the second century these dates differed by nearly a month, the solstice taking place on June 24 (Julian) and the rising of Sirius on It is therefore much more probable that the year in question was a July 20 (Julian). sidereal year regulated by the heliacal rising of Sirius (cf. the circumstance that in all the lists Sothis was the first decan of Cancer), and that the month in relation to the zodiac was determined not by the sign through which the sun was passing, but by the constellation at the which was the last to rise before dawn. The decans would thus be birth of the days over which they presided, and this suggestion is confirmed by the fact that in P. Brit. Mus. 98. 15 the decans are called oi If the calendar refers to a year of this kind the five intercalary days must have been taken into account,

.(-(

as well as a sixth intercalary day every fourth year; but these days were always regarded by the Egyptians as outside the year, and did not interfere with the convenient but inaccurate practice of dividing the ecliptic into 360 degrees, each of which corresponded Moreover the difficulty is considerably diminished if, as is probable, the to one day. decans are regarded not as fractions of the circle of the ecliptic, but as stars or groups

In this calendar the intercalary days would not have been of stars rising just before dawn. under the presidency of any of the thirty-six decans or their but each of them would have been dedicated to one of the five great gods of the Osirian circle, Osiris, Aroueris, Typhon, Isis and Nephthys, who were said to have been born on those days. It has long been a matter of dispute whether this year, supposing it to have existed, was divided into months bearing the same names as the montiis of the ordinary annus vagus. The papyrus seems 10 indicate that this was the case ; but its late date prevents the evidence from being conclusive, for it may well have been drawn up by someone who was acquainted with the two traditions that the Egyptian year began with Cancer and also that it began with Thoth I, and who combined his information by identifying the two years. It is just possible to explain the papyrus from the usual point of view that the month is determined by the sign of the zodiac through which the sun was passing, but this involves In the Pseudo-Gemim Cakndarium. (Wachsmuth's ed. of Lydus, very great difficulties. hi 6 tjXios iv fjpepais . These thirty days correspond p. 183) we find

taining 30 degrees of the ecliptic they are measured from the spring equinox, which is determined by The position of this point among the stars is not fixed, the intersection of the equator and the ecliptic. With a most unbut slips slowly backward along the ecliptic this is the precession of the equinoxes. fortunate lack of imagination astronomers since the time of Ptolemy have called these divisions by the same names as the constellations, which often gives rise to great confusion unless we know definitely which is referred to. Thus at present the vernal equinoctial point, though retaining the name " First point of Aries," is not in the constellation of Aries, but owing to the precession has shifted about 30 into the constellation Pisces. The constellations of the zodiac however (apart from variations in size) very nearly coincided ivith the signs in the second century of our era.'

Third century.

A leaf, of which the top is lost, from a papyrus book written in double columns on a page, and containing apparently descriptions of astronomical instruments. The writing is a medium-sized semi-uncial of the third century. The high stop is found, and a comma-shaped sign is used occasionally for filling up short lines. For the interpretation of this papyrus we are indebted to Mr. J. G. Smyly. Lines 1-3 1 are the end of a description of a of which instrument

Second century.

written in a semi-uncial hand and elaborately punctuated work, contains part of a speech of an advocate directed against a person whose name is apparently Maximus. The precise point at issue is not clear. There are accusations concerning money-lending, and some question connected with the holding of the office of gymnasiarch arises, but the greater
like a literary

This long papyrus,

part of the speech consists of an outspoken denunciation of the relations of Maximus to a certain boy. That Maximus was or had been a very high official
is shown by several passages cf. the references in 1. 54 to the regal state assumed by him, in 11. 66-72 to the crowd of clients, in 11. 95-7 to petitions made to him and his power to confiscate property, and in 11. 124-30 to his journeys throughout Egypt. These allusions suit no one so well as the praefect himself, and the view that Maximus had been praefect of Egypt is supported by 1. 22, where e[7r]apxecay is the most probable reading. On this hypothesis the Kvpioi whose is appealed to by witnesses in 1. 65 and before whom this speech was delivered, was more probably the reigning emperor (cf 1. 32, where Kiipioy means the emperor) than the praefect in office. Whether however this speech was really delivered or is a composition in the style for instance of 33
;

I. pp. 29 sqq.) may be doubted. It is difficult to imagine the circumstances under which such violent accusations would actually be made,

(cf Bauer, Arc/iiv,

and unfortunately the identity of Maximus

is far from clear. The only second century praefect known to have borne that name is Vibius Maximus (a.d. 103-7), but the papyrus probably belongs to the age of Hadrian or the Antonines.

The orator's client was a woman Hermione, against whom various charges of attempted poisoning, and fraud in connexion with a supposed mortgage, had been brought by a man whose name does not appear here, but was Sarapion, if, as is almost certain, 486 is concerned with the same dispute. An epistrategus is mentioned in the first column, and it is probable that the proceedings took place about A.D. 130 before Claudius Ouintianus at the trial mentioned in 486. 8 and 36, from which passages we learn that the epistrategus referred the case to the praefect. The handwriting of the papyrus is very like that of the Petition of Dionysia (237), written in the reign of Commodus, and this copy of the speech may have been made some years after it was delivered.

These four talents seem to have been the sum which, according to the accuser, Dionysia had borrowed from Hermione and advanced to him upon the security of the vineyard, and the 150 jars of wine were according to him interest upon the money borrowed by Dionysia. To this the orator replies that the 1 50 jars were paid by Dionysia to Hermione as interest upon a talent and a half given her by Hermione.

THE OXYRHYNCHUS PAPYRI


To
Hadrion and

Zoi'lus, keepers of the archives, from Dionysous freedwoman of Dionysia daughter of Dionysius also called Chresimus son of Dionysius, of Oxyrhynchus, with her guardian Eudaemon son of Menoetes, of the same city. In accordance with the orders concerning the selection of boys 13 years of age when their parents on both sides are inhabitants of the metropolis rated at 12 drachmae, I declare that my son Ptollis son of Phaon son of Ptollis registered in the quarter of the Square of Thoeris (interlinear note "the Kmelemus (?) quarter, as he says") has reached the age of 13 years in the past i6th year of Hadrianus Caesar the lord, and that his father Phaon son of Ptollis son of Phaon, his mother being Athena, was an inhabitant of the metropolis rated at 12 drachmae as shown by a uniform poll-tax list of the 13th year of Hadrianus Caesar the lord at the said quarter, and is now dead, and that the father of my aforesaid patroness Dionysia (interlinear note " he does not agree "), Dionysius also called Chresimus son

of Dionysius, of the same city, was similarly rated at 12 drachmae by the selection of the ^th year of the deified Trajan in the Lycians' Camp quarter, and died at an advanced age and I swear by the Emperor Caesar Trajanus Hadrianus Augustus that the foregoing statement is correct. The 17th 3'ear of the Emperor Caesar Trajanus Hadrianus Augustus, Tubi 13. I, Dionysous, freedwoman of Dionysia daughter of Dion3'sius also called Chresimus, have presented the declaration and sworn the oath. I, Eudaemon son of Menoetes, have been appointed her guardian and wrote for her as she was illiterate.'
;

10-2. It is noticeable that the further qualification specified in the parallel passage of 258, e(7r)7-a(?) [cJtt; fVi is here Omitted. But not improbably the interlinear notes on 11. 15 and 28 have some reference to such a restriction. 15. The adscript added below this line by a different hand is a note by an oflScial remarking some inconsistency between this statement of the in which Ptollis lived and his own assertions. The question had an important bearing on the consideration of the claims for exemption, for it appears from 258. 9 that a certain permanence of residence was required; cf. the previous note. A similar interlinear insertion occurs in 1. 28 in connexion with the evidence on the mother's side. 22. the meaning of this is obscure. So far as the present passage goes might here have its ordinary sense of ' corresponding,' the meaning being that the poll-tax list of the year referred to corresponded with the statement in the text that the father of Ptollis was a But this interpretation is not satisfactory in another case of the use of the phrase in B.

Pausiris son of Petsiris,

earliest mention of Avidius Heliodorus as praefect has hitherto been in 139 (cf. de Ricci, Froc. Soc. Bill. Arch, x.xiv. p. 64), and the previous year cf. P. Oxy. II. pp. 17.3-4)1 has generally been assigned to Valerius Eudaemon (40. i who was praefect about the end of Hadrian's reign or early in that of Antoninus. 484 now shows that Avidius Heliodorus was already praefect on Jan. 28, 138, and it is no longer possible to suppose that the date in 237. viii. 7 (Jtov^ , i. e. Feb. 14, 138) refers, as we suggested, to the proclamation of Eudaemon. This being t Beov so, it becomes practically certain that the date in 237. viii. 1 8 does, as is indicated by the arrangement in the papyrus, refer to the proclamation This conclusion produces of Eudaemon, who was therefore praefect on July 18, a.d. 142. a conflict between 237. viii. 18 and B. G. U. 113. 9, where if the editor's reading is correct Avidius Heliodorus is still praefect in the 6th year Pachon 21 (May 16, a.d. 143). be substituted But the reading of the crucial figure in B. G. U. 113. 9 is doubtful, and if for 5 the whole difficulty is removed and Valerius Eudaemon takes his place between Avidius Heliodorus (a.d. 138-141) and Valerius Proculus (a.d. 145-7), being no doubt

This petition to the epistrategus, enclosing a petition to the praefect with Dionysia and Sarapion is concerned with the same subject as 472. had had a dispute concerning the ownership of some land which Dionysia claimed to have bought from Sarapion's father, while Sarapion asserted that she held it only on mortgage, combining his claim with a charge of poisoning against The matter came before the epistrategus Claudius Dionysia's mother, Hermione.

Quintianus,

proceed to Alexandria.

Dionysia

in vain,

Sarapion

some time

she petitioned the praefect Flavius

this the praefect

Accordingly Dionysia wrote to him re-stating her case, and enclosing her previous petition and the answer to it and reiterated her request for leave to return to Oxyrhynchus and for the case to be decided there. On the verso in a small cursive hand is the rough draft of another petition of Dionysia on the same subject, but too much obliterated for continuous

Julius Varianus, epistrategus of the Heptanomis and Arsinoite noma, from Dionysia daughter of Chaeremon, her mother being Hermione daughter of Chaeremon, A dispute arose between me inhabitants of the metropolis of the Oxyrhynchite nome. and one Sarapion son of Mnesitheus, who with regard to a vineyard and some corn-land which I bought from his father as long ago as the nth year of Hadrianus Caesar the lord, having paid to his father himself and to a creditor of his the price agreed upon and having received the regular official contract of the sale, declared that I held this land on mortgage. Claudius Quintianus who was then epistrategus heard the case and referred it to his

Thereupon I attended at the praefect's court, and when my highness the praefect. opponent paid no attention and failed to appear I presented his highness the praefect with a petition, of which I have appended a copy, narrating in full the state of the affair and he sent me on to you, my lord, to have the case tried. Since my opponent even now is absent and the time for sowing is imminent and the repair of what has been swept away by the river requires my presence, I beg you, if it please you, to permit me to sail
back and have the case decided by you on the spot, that I may obtain redress. Farewell. The copy of the petition which I presented to his highness the praefect is as follows To his highness the praefect Titus Flavius Titianus from Dionysia daughter of A certain Chaeremon, her mother being Hermione, inhabitants of Oxyrhynchus. Sarapion son of Mnesitheus, of the said city, charged my mother Hermione before Claudius Quintianus, late epistrategus of the Heptanomis, with poisoning, and at the same time invented a claim with regard to certain property of which he said he was defrauded, but which I, Dionysia, bought in accordance with official contracts, having paid the price of it to his father when he was alive and to creditors of his said father who held the land in question on mortgage and he asserted that it had been registered in security. The epistrategus referred the whole case to your beneficence, and it happened that my mother died before the trial, while I thereupon in consequence of the letter of the epistrategus ordering me and Sarapion to sail down to Alexandria presented myself here, Since therefore news but Sarapion has paid no attention to the instruction to sail down. has reached me while staying here that all my property has been lost through the excessive rise of the most sacred Nile, both buildings, lands, and dykes, I entreat you, my lord praefect, in the continued absence of my opponent, to permit me to sail back in order that I may obtain justice (there) and that I may not in addition to the loss of my property Farewell.

The scribe of the local komogrammateus, the official specially concerned with the land-survey, had entered her purchase in the survey-lists at more than an aroura in excess of the correct amount, and the petitioner appealed to the epistrategus to set matters right. On the verso in a diiTerent hand is a message, probably written in the office of the epistrategus and apparently directed to a local official of the Antaeopolite nome, which calls attention to the petitioner's claim.

In 1. 12 the termination of suggests a place-name. yiji in Ost. I. p. 646 Wilcken adopts the explanation of 'public land' 13. proposed by Viereck (Hermes, xxx. p. 119) that it means land belonging to the commune (' Gemeindeland) as opposed to 'domain land'; but in Archiv, I. p. 157 he speaks of P. Brit. Mus. 335, which is an application for a sub-lease of yrj, as if that papyrus referred to yrj were the same as Domanialland,' i. e. as if There is, we think, no doubt that the first theory is incorrect. The use of in papyri in connexion with Xoyor, and where it corresponds in the first case to Or in the other two to (cf. Osi. I. p. 645) and renders such a contrast between and as is required by Viereck's theory very improbable. When we hear of land belonging to a Gemeinde,' as e. g. in P. Gen. 16, C. P. R. 39 and but land These instances or 41, it is never called all belong to the third or fourth century, and it is not at all likely that there were enough Gemeinden ' previously to account for the frequent mention of before the reign of Septimius Severus.

And the lessee acknowledges that he owes to the landlords arrears upon the said land for the past year 3 artabae of wheat, which he will pay as a deposit in the present year together
with the deposit of the rent, guaranteed completely against all risks. If in the succeeding years any of the land becomes unirrigated, an allowance shall be made to the lessee, the landlords being responsible for the annual taxes upon the land and retaining the ownership of the produce until they have recovered their yearly dues

acknowledgement from Diogenes to Serenus of the receipt of 705 drachmae 3 obols 3 chalci. This sum had been paid by Diogenes to the State in A.D. 181 as the price (including extra payments) of some confiscated houseproperty, which had been sold to him by the strategus at an auction. Two years later however a much higher bid for the property, amounting to three times that of Diogenes, was made by Serenus, to whom it was assigned by the dioecetes, the arrangement of the strategus being thus overridden. In the present document Diogenes acknowledges that he has been repaid by Serenus the sum which he had expended on the purchase. The papyrus throws some interesting light upon the methods of the government in dealing with confiscated property, and incidentally provides important information with regard to the banks at this period cf. notes on II. 7 and 37.

though Diogenes bought the property in Hadrianus (Choiak) of the 1 6. year, he seems not to have paid the purchase price until towards the middle of 23rd year.

' Apion to his son Apion and his dearest Horion, many greetings. Before all else pray for your health and for that of your children and wives. All that I wrote in the other letter, in order that I may not repeat it, consider that I wrote also to Horion. I have sent you by Eutyches of Ision Tryphonis 3 orders for payment, two for the cultivators of Maximus, the third for Diogenes son of Issue them at once before Phaophi that they may not be later than the due time. Others were sent to Panechotes the lawyer; get these from him and pay him 64 drachmae. Sell the grass-seed and ask whether he wants the man from Tampitei. Let my revenues which are paid through the cultivators either be placed on deposit at the store-house or be kept in safety in the possession of the cultivators, in order that if the gods will, we may, if they are neglected, have no complications with our adversary, or the cultivators must bear the risk. Do not lease the house of ... to any one except to a woman who intends to live in it, for it is (wrong) to expose such a house to youths, that we may not be caused vexation and annoyance. Tell Zoilus the cultivator from Sento that in accordance with the agreements he must look after the money. Tell the twins also to be careful about the small change, and likewise tell ApoUonius and Dionysius if you can send to Paberke in the eastern toparchy to Pausiris the donkey-driver, that, as they arranged, they are to pay me the jars of wine and must keep their pledge. Get from Harthonis the priest the 20 artabae of wheat, and from Zoilus the cultivator from Sento the 5 artabae of wheat which he borrowed from me. Look out at the office of the strategus a letter of the dioecetes written in the month of Thoth about the substitution of other names for mine in drawing lots for the post of collector. Tell Serenus at the camel-shed that he is to take care of the money. Tell Hermias, scribe of the collectors of money-taxes at Ision Panga, that he is to issue an order for the wheat which he owes me or for the amount which he approves. Let Heraclides
