1 2 x 1 46 cm. Fourth century. Plate I(Fo ls. 1—2 , recto).

THE fo l lowing small b ut valuable fragment of the Apology of A ristides in theOriginal Greek is contained on the uppe r part o f a leaf from a papyrus book,adjo ined by a narrow strip from the o the1 leaf o f the Sheet . How the sheet wasfo lded , i. 8. what was the re lat ive orde 1 o f the two leaves, and what was the

po sition p f the shee t in the quire canno t b e determ ined S ince,however, the

strip from the second leaf is inscribed with b ut a single wo rd , these questions areof s light impo rtance . The handwrit ing is a handsome we ll- fo rmed uncial

, which

t hough somewhat smalle r and mo re compact has a decided general resemblance

to that of 847,'

and 33.“

The Apology 1S a recent add ition to ea1 ly Christian l iterature. The first“

steptowards its recovery was made in 1 878 with the publ icat ion o f an A rmeniantranslation o f the first few chap ters from two MSS . in the Laz arist monastery atVenice . This was fo llowed e leven years late r. by Dr. Rende l Harris’s find

at S inai o f a cOmplete version in Syriac ; and sho rtly afterwards Dr. .A rmi tage

Rob inson, who had seen Dr. Harris’s wo rk in p roof, recogniz ed that the Apologywas actually already ex tant in Greek, hav ing been embedded in the early

med iaeval romance, the H is tory of Bar laam and 7osap/zat . The outcome of

these fo rtunate d iscoveries was the jo int ed ition by the two scho lar'

s of the

Apology of Ar is t ides in Texts and S tudies , I . i. containing t he syriac

text with an Engl ish translation, Latin and Engl ish versions of the A rmenian

fragment , and the Greek tex t from Earld om and yosaplzat .

The question then p resented itse lf, how far the Greek o f Earld om and

3’osaplmt could b e regarded as rep resent ing the ips i ss ima verba o f Aristides.

That certain modifications had been introducedby the autho r of the romance was

ev ident, e.g. a passage near the end inwhich the Christians we re defended fromcertain charges made against them by early enem ies was naturally d iscarded as

out o f date . But there remained considerable d ivergences which could no t

b e easi ly accounted fo r. The Syriac has a number o f rep etitions and details

no t found in the Greek , the difference in to tal length app rox imating to the ratio

of 3 t o 2. Was this the result of expansion o r comp ression ? Had the Syriac

translato r amp l ified the o riginal o r the redacto r o f the Greek cut it down ? The

latter exp lanat ion, as Dr. A rm itage Robinson observed in d iscussing this

p roblem (op . ci t. pp . 71 seemed a pr ior i the mo re p robable , b ut careful

consideration o f the opening passage in which the testimony of the A rmenian

fragment was also available showed that the faults were by no means all on one

side. While in the Greek there could here b e traced one serious mod ification witha Consequent d isp lacement , one considerable abbrev iation, and an added phrasein a Christo logical passage , the Syriac was found to b e often lo o se and inaccurate

,

dropp ing some p hrases and inserting o thers, sometimes with a .distort ing effect.Dr. Robinson

’s general conclusion was that the Greek wi ll , as a rule, give us the

actual wo rds of A ristides , ex cep t in t he very few p laces in which mod ificat ion

was obv ious ly needed. Whe re the Syriac p resents us with matte r wh ich has nocounterpart whatever in the Greek,we shal l hesitate t o p ronounce that the Greekis defective , unless we are able t o suggest a good reason

fo r the om ission, o r

to authenticate the Syriac from some ex ternal source .

Harnack agreed that the

Greek was the truer witness, b ut p roposed to account fo r the variations of theSyriac and A rmenian by postulating as the basis o f these

a later Greek

Ub erarb ei tung’

, which they in turn had still further transfo rmed (Gese/z. deralte/zr is tlzklzen L i ft . i. 1 . 97)— a needlessly Comp licated hypo thesis. Again,R. Raabe , in his commentary in Tex te zmd Untersue/zungen, ix . 1 , has no highop inion of the accuracy o f the Syriac translato r. On the o the r hand

, Dr. Rende l

Harris in a recent essay seeks t o Show that Ce lsus,in rep lying to A ristides, used

a text of the Apology which was 1n . C lose agreement with the Syriac (Bullet irzof Ike yalmRylands L i brary, vi , pp . 1 63

With the we lcome d iscovery o f what is undoubtedly a fragment o f the

o riginal tex t, the p roblem now reaches a new phase. The re lation of the Greek '

of the ffagment (P) to that o f Earldom and , yosapkat (BJ)'

and to the‘

Sy‘

riacversion is discussed in detail in the notes be low on 11. 8 sqq. and 26 sqq. In

general it may b e said that P, as m ight b e ex pected, holds an intermed iate

po sition. Though op en to criticism especial ly fo r its verbo sity, to which muchof its comparative length is due , the Syriac has at any rate some Of the

advantage s c laimed for it by Dr. Rende l Harris,in p laces rep roducing the .

o riginal mo re faithful ly than .BJ and retaining wo rds and phrases which theGreek redacto r discarded . The latter Often p reserves the language of A ristideswith much fide lity

,b ut he t reats the o riginal with some freedom,

making such

sho rt cuts and readjustments as seemed suitable for his purpo se, and not con

fining him se lf to‘necessary modifications ’

. On the who le then the p resent

d iscove ry ap pears t o p lace the Syriac ve rsion, if no t in the flattering p o sition

suggested by Dr. Harris , yet in a mo re favourable l ight than that accorded to i t

by Dr. A rm itage Robinson and by Raabe (op. ci t . , pp . 37 If the p rudent

critic must stil l ‘hesi tate t o p ronounce that the Greek is defective’

,he should

ex ercise a co rresp onding caution in condemning matter pecu l iar to the Syriac.With P as guide , the task o f sifting the wheat from the chaff may now b e

undertaken with a better Chance o f success .

The Syriac is : And again those who have thought concerning the blasts of winds thatit is God

,these also have erred : and this is evident to us, that these winds are subject

to another,since sometimes their blast is increased and sometimes it is diminished and

ceases,according to the commandment o f him who subjects them . Since for the sake o f

man theywere created byGod, in order that theym ight fulfil the needs o f trees and fruitsand seeds

,and that theymight transport ships upon the sea ; those ships wh ich bring

to men the ir necessary things from a p lace where theyare found to a p lace where they are

no t found and furnish the different parts o f the world. Since then this wind is sometimesincreased and sometimes diminished, there is one p lace in which it does good and ano therwhere it does harm, according to the nod of him who rules it ; and even men are able bymeans of well- known instruments to catch and coerce it that it mayfulfil for them the

necessities which they demand of it ; and over itself it has no power at all ; wherefore it isnot po ssible that winds should b e called gods, b ut a work ofGod.

In ll. 8- 1 2 the agreement with the extant Greek 15 clo se, the only discrepancies be ing9(60)v GZVGL for 6 11111 1. 96 11 11, qbav6pa for ¢av6p6v, and the additi on Of after e o rw. In the

Syriac the simp le directness of the original is obscured byunnecessary verbiage‘con

cerning the blast of winds, that it these also and this is evident that,

thesewinds On the other hand f to us which the extantGreek has dropped after evident

,

is correctly retained and the fo llowing clause S ince sometimes the ir blast is - inereased and

sometimes i t is diminished and ceases ’

apart from the redundancy Of‘their blast ’

and ‘and

ceases ’

, co rresponds faithfully to the o riginal, whereas the extant Greek parts company,

omitting the dependent clause and passing on to the next sentence . At this po int, however, the Syriac too becomes faulty. After ‘

and ceases ’ it proceeds‘according to the

commandment Of him who subjects them ’

(cf. Kar’

e’

m rayr‘

w 96 017 in the extant Greek) ;whereas the o riginal has an inferential sentence, apparently

‘therefore it is under some com

The Syriac is : SO too those have erred who have thought concerning the sun that hei s God. For 10 ! we see him

,that by the necessity of another he is moved and turned and

runs his course ; and he proceeds from degree to degree, r ising and setting every day,in order that he maywarm the Shoots o f p lants and shrubs and maybring forth in the air

which is mingled with him everyherb which is on the earth. And in calculation the sun

has a part with the rest o f the stars in his course, and although he is one in his nature he ismixed with many parts, according to the advantage of the needs of men : and that notaccording to his own will, but according to the wi ll ofHim that ruleth him. Wherefore itis no t possible that the sun should b e God b ut a work of God.

1786 . CHRISTIAN HYMN WITH MUSICAL NOTATION .

29-6 x 5 cm. Late third century. Plate 1.

This interesting fragment o f what is by far the mo st ancient p iece o f Church

music ex tant,and may b e p laced among the earliest written re lics of Christ ianity ,

is contained on the ve rso o f a strip from an account o f co rn,mentioning several

Oxyrhynchi te v illages and dat ing apparently from the first half o f the third

century, though later than the Const itut io Antoniniana, since some o f the pe rsons

named are Aureli i . The tex t on the verso i s writ ten in long l ines paral le l wi th

the fibres in a clear up right hand which app rox imates to the l iterary typ e b utinc ludes some cursive fo rms, e . g. the 6 o f [7r]ar epa. in l. 4. Above each l ine o f

tex t the co rresponding vo cal no tes have been added in a mo re cursive le tte ring,whethe r by the same hand o r ano ther is no t easy t o determ ine . The character

of bo th scrip ts appears t o po int t o a date in the lat ter part o f the third century

rather than the earlydecades o f the fourth. This hymn was acco rd ingly written

befo re e ither P. Amb . 2 o r Ber ] . K lassz'

kertexte VI. vi . 8, which are bo th assigned

Page 41: The Oxyrhynchus Papyri - Forgotten Books

to the fourth century. Unfo rtunate ly only its.

conc lusion is p reserved , and that

very imp erfect ly, four lines out of the five be ing d isfigured by large initial

lacunae . Neverthe less the general purp o rt o f what remains is fairly clear.Creation at large i s called upo n t o jo in in a cho rus o f p raise t o Father, Son, and

Ho ly Sp iri t, and the concluding passage is the usual ascrip tion of power and

glo ry t o the‘only giver o f all go o d gifts

. The o riginal ex tent o f the hymn

canno t b e gauged from the recto , fo r tho ugh the strip evidently came from the

latter part of the co lumn o f accounts, the breadth of this is unknown , and a secondco lumn, o r more , may o f course have fo llowed.

The early date ind icated by the character o f the handwriting is reflect ed inthe metre , which is pure ly quantitative and uninfiuenced by accent . Owing to

the mu t i lation o f the fragment the me trical scheme canno t b e clo se ly fo l lowed ,b ut the rhythm was

,

apparent ly anapaestic and may b e analysed as a series o f

d imeters, e ither acatalectic, catalectic , o r brachycatalectic. A sho rt syl lable isal lowed to rep lace a long at the end of a colon, and the first syl lab le o f 61117511 is

lengt hened metr i gr atz’

a . I t is not iceable that the metre of both P . Amb . 2 and

Ber ] . K lass . VI. vi . 8 is analogous , and the anapaesticmeasure thu s seems t o have

been a favourite one wi th early Christian hymno logists in Egyp t. Perhaps, asin the Berlin hymn, pairs o f cola fo rmed a system .

The musical no tat ion is general ly sim ilar to that found in the rather earl ier

papyrus pub l ished by S chubart in S z'

tz aagsoer .p reuss . Akaa’

A . Thierfelder.

1 The no tes which can b e recogniz ed with ce rtainty are e ight,R 11> 0 o f 1 C6 . These all o ccur in the Diatonic Hypo lydian key o f Alyp ius ,

t o which Re inach assigns also the Paean of the Berl in papyrus ; that, however, is

mo re p robably t o b e regarded as in the Iast ian key. A s fo r the mode , there can

b e l itt le doubt that it is the Hypophrygian or Iast ian, as in the Ep itaph o f S e iki los

and theHymn to Nemes is ofMesomedes ; cf. Gevaert,La me’lope

'

e ant ique, pp . 48 sqq.

With regard t o the character o f the syllables and the co rresp ond ing no tes,

Re inach has obse rved that in the Berl in Paean a barytone syl lab le is a lways sungon a lower no te than the succeed ing accented final syl lable , and that a circumflex ed

syl lable has two no tes at leas t. Ne ither of these obse rvat ions ho l ds in the caseof 178 6 , and the fo rmer indeed can hard ly b e maintained o f the Paean e ither.On the o ther hand , two no tes are assigned to a short syl lable in one instance at

least (1.In add ition to the no tes five signs are used , all of which are found a lso in

the Berlin papyrus. (I) A ho riz ontal stroke is p laced above no tes attached t o1 Paean and Teemessa (Le ipz ig), revi ewed wi th severi ty bySchroder, B er ] . FI1 17. Woe/1. x] . 351 .

Kp07os (a little below the 11 of 70111 in l . 3) is ignored in the transcription, Since it is moreto the right of the note 5 than usual and would also interrupt the sequence. The note15 above 0 of 81 1111111 6 19 is very uncertain. 81111611 6 16 is used of heavenlybodies (e . g.

extraneous to the mode. A do t mayb e lost above the mark of length and others above(110 11 and the 1 over the second syllable o f the surface is a good deal rubbedhereabouts.With regard to the text o f l. 5, the scantyvestiges we ll suit 1101161, but is highly

doubtful, though some such word is demanded by the sense. In the preceding lacuna the

musical notes indicate a lo ss of seven syllables, ofwhich the last three were an anapaest. One

more syllable at least, however, seems necessary for the metre, and it is perhaps just possiblethat a note is missing between 0 and 0 , where there is a rather broad Space and the surfaceis not well preserved.

The autho rship of the fo l lowing fragments, be ing (with P . S . L 1 23) the sixthd istinct papyrus o f Sappho so far obtained from Oxyrhynchus, is establ ished byone certain“

and two o ther p robable co incidences with line s p rev i ously ex tant ;some iso lated wo rds attributed byGrammarians to Sappho also o ccur. To whicho f the available books among the nine o f her lyrics t hey be longed is uncertain,

b ut they may b e assigned with some p robab i lity to the fourth . The metre isapparently the same throughout , a two - l ine strophe ,

consisting o f a repetition o f

the verse H — u o m —o u —m u o — w - L’, which Hephaest ion 64 describes as

an Ioni c a maio re tetrame ter acatalectic,add ing that it was cal led AZoAucdv

from its frequent use by Sappho . from whom he cit es Frs . 76—7 as examp les .

strophes o f three l ines , i t seems that the only bo ok t o which the two - l ine strophesof 1787, which are entire ly analogous to tho se of Books ii and iii, can b e logically

referred is Book iv . Pe rhap s this further resembled the two p receding books inthe homogene ity o f its contents ; that suppo sition is no t ex c luded by the fact

that Hephaest ion do es no t refer t o Bo ok iv in connex ion with two - l ine strophes,and on the o ther hand acco rds bo th with his statement about the Aeo l ic tetrameter that Sappho aim ; expfio am and with the no t inconsiderable remainso f the p resent papyrus. But it is of course quite po ssible that poems in similarmetres (cf. e . g. Sapph . 60, 62) were a lso included.

L ike mo st o f the papyri from this find, 1787 has suffered severe ly, havingbeen to rn into qu ite smal l p ieces , which have no t fitted togethe r ve ry we l l. The

difficulty o f the task o f reconstruction, in which Mr. Lobe l has rendered valuableassistance , is much increased by the fact that the remains o f this ro l l were found

together with a quant ity o f o the r lyric fragments in an ident ical hand . There isa number o f smalle r p ieces which canno t b e assigned to one MS . or the o therwith any app roach to security, and in these circumstances it seemed adv isable t o

p rint here only such fragments as we rei

shown by d ialect o r some o the r special

indication to be long t o the Sappho . A rev ised tex t of P. Hal le 2, the source o f

wh ich now becomes ev ident, is included fo r the sake o f convenient reference .

That fragment°

was no doubt abst racted and so ld by a d ishonest wo rkman ;

sc rip t , me tre, and date o f acquisition all po int t o t h is conc lusion.

The hand is a rap idly fo rmed unci al o f medium siz e and with a decided

s lope ; that of 1788 is in many respects very sim i lar. S top s i n the high

po sition o ccur, and accents , breathings, andmarks of e l ision, quantity,and d iaere sis

have been free ly added, as usual in papyri o f lyric poets. A cute accents aresomet imes so ho riz ontal as t o b e bare ly d istinguishable from marks o f length .

Two rarer symbo ls are a mark S im ilar in fo rm and po sit ion t o a comma, to d iv idewo rds (Fr. 8. and the conv erse o f th is, a curved ligature be low the l ine, wh ich

connects the parts o f a compound wo rd in Fr. 9. 4 . Paragraphi are emp loyed tomark o f? strop hic co up le ts (cf. 1 233 . I. ii) and a co ronis t o indicate the conclusion

o f a p oem . The few interlineations o ccurring seem all t o p ro ceed from the

o riginal scribe , who may also b e credited with at any rate many o f the

d iacritical signs.Remains o f e ight p oems at least can b e d istingu ished, and the number

rep resented is no doubt considerably larger than this. I t is no ticeable that three

out o f the four poems o f wh ich the initial letter has su rvived begin with E,b ut

the fact that in Fr . 3. i i E i s succeeded by 0, while no t definite ly ex c lud ing

an alphabet ical arrangement , is certainly no t in favour o f it. Of the indiv idual

p ieces there is no t much to he said,since the ir severe mutilation, ex cep t in one

or two cases, p revents the line o f thought from be ing fo l lowed with p recision, and

resto rat ion canno t b e attemp ted with any real chance o f success. Fr. I gives the

ends o f l ines o fap oem o f some length in which Sappho dwe l ls on the advance

o f age and the inev itable app roach o f death , passing on t o a dec larat ion, in two

verses cited by A thenaeus, that t o b e desirable life must,

for her have the aecom

paniment s of de l icacy (afipo o-

zivn), sp lendour (78 Aa11 77p6v), and beauty (78 KaAo'

v).

The second co lumn o f Fr. 3 included two comp le te p oems, of s ix and five

coup lets respect ive ly, in the fo rmer o f which several persons , p erhap s the p oe t’

s

companions,were addressed , the o ther be ing an invocation, tantaliz ingly mutilated,to sleep . In Fr. 4 Sappho herse lf i s addressed by name

a dactyl of about 6 letters, should b e filled is no t obvious. If 70870 76 6130511, this wasperhaps preceded byan adverb qualifying (1111 1711 1, e.g. zgoxa, 8151161 11 , 371, or a predicate

of 70870, as 086 76 . The papyrus may of course have agreed with Athen. in the Spelling(1151 771113 , but 1021 7111 1 is written in Fr. 44. 4.

That the small fragment containing the begi nni ngs of 11. 25-

23. For the interpretation of this line much depends on the identityof the letter printedas 1; before 8p . The first stroke of the 77has the form of a narrow oval, and it is thereforequestionable whether 191. should b e read instead of 17. But the oval is considerablynarrower,and the cross- stroke longer, than in a normal 8, and 61 is, moreover, intractable metrically.

Perhaps then the scribe began to write e and converted this,

to If 72 is right, p r;

an initial letter, for though the scribe has , as usual, a tendency to edge towards the left as

he proceeds Wi th the co lumn, the movement is e lsewhere only gradual ; moreover, the

autho r addresses Po lycrates , t o whom he ascribes imperishable fame . This canhard ly b e o ther than the wel l - known tyrant o f Samo s , who became a patron o f

1 Anacreon is ex cludedat once by the d ialect , which however is ent ire ly suitable to Ibycus . A further

argument in favour o f the identification is p rov ided by the metre , in which

among some less exp ected features the dactylic sequences frequent in the ex tant

at the chief figures and several incidents o f the sto ry. The style is simp le

and flowing, and there are rep eated Homeric rem iniscences in the phraseo logy.

Whi le the general effect is p leasing enough , what remains of th is poem can

hard ly b e said t o justify the somewhat arrogant c laim o f the closing passage , in

which the autho r imp lies that his poet ic fame wi l l rival t hat of his patron in

Metrically the p iece is of much interest. Though , as in 1 36 1 , the co pyist

to the poem on the Lo ck o f Berenice which was translated by Catul lus. That

attribution,howeve r, is by no means certain ; i t was rejected by Valckenaer,

who first drew attention t o the fragment , on the ground that the vers ion'

of

Catullus shows no co rrespond ing phrase. S chneider evaded the objection by

the argument that c’

by Catul lus to mil d i(l. 83 ; cf. 11 . on i i i. 2 , where the passage is quo ted).

Unfo rtunate ly Col. i i i is badly mutilated , and what remains o f the contex t o fl. 2 is indecisive ; i t is , however, no teworthy that the p reced ing verse ends with

These two co lumns o f a philo sophica l wo rk be longed t o the same find as

1 364 , the fragments o f the sophist Antip hon Hep i m ues li“ , b ut owing t o obvious

d ifferences bo th in handwriting and in the length and wid th o f their co lumns , thetwo papyri were no t suppo sed t o b e connected. Further investigation,

however,

now suggests that they rep resent the same au tho r, i f not actual ly re lated themse lves. The sub ject o f th is new p iece i s the e thics o f legal ev idence , the justiceof which is controverte d in oppo sitio n to the current v iew. If justice consists inno t wronging o thers when no t wronged onese lf, .

then, it is contended , to giveadverse ev idence , even when the ev i dence is true

,is e ssential ly unjust . A person

so conv icted is injured,and his resentment may resu lt in further injury t o the

giver o f the ev idence . Lega l p ro ce dure in general , which“benefits one man at

the exp ense o f ano ther , is v itiated by sim ilar injustice . This sophistical argument

is qu ite in the manner o f 1 364,where Antiphon,

starting from ano ther definitiono f justice as the observance of law, maintains that th is is a matte r o f exp ed iencyand that, so long as the breach is unobserv ed, the law may b e broken with

advantage ; cf. Part XI, pp . 92 sqq. In style also the p resent tex t reca l ls 1 364 ;see 0p . ei . ,z p . 95, where the l iterary estimate o f Antip hon found in Hermogenes ,De i

rather favoured b y the autho r o f 1797, is found a lso in 1 3 6 4 . 272 . No instance

o ccurs of £151; o r the sp e l l ing 77 , used in 1364 , app ears once in l . 44 . The

ascrip tion t o Antiphon thus seem s suffi cient ly likely on internal evidence,and

some ex ternal marks o f re lationship be tween the two papyri , in addition t o the

fact that they were found in c lose p rox im ity, are also fo rthcom ing. Though thehands are no t identica l they are o f the same typ e and are certainly very clo se in

b ut the he ight o f the papyrus is app rox imate ly identical B reath ings , accents ,and marks o f quantity, which are rare in p rose tex ts, have been o ccasional ly

the punctuat ion by means o f high o r med ial do ts (in 1 3 64 one instance o ccurred

These fragments from a histo rical wo rk deal ing with A lexander the Great

are written in a medium - si z ed info rma l hand, p robab ly o f the m id d le o r latter

part Of the second century ; on the verso is 1 802,an a lphabe tical lex icon o f rare

p ro ceeded , so giv ing the co lumns a slant to the right . Paragraph i are sparinglyused , b ut there are no sto ps , o r o the r signs ex cep t the diaeresis. Two smal l

co rrections o ccur (Frs . 1 0 and one c learly, and p robably bo th , by a second

hand . A stichometrical figure xii , i. e . in the margin o f Frs. 56 . ii,is due t o

the o rigina l scribe . Unfo rtunate ly the he ight o f the co lumn is unknown,b ut in

consideration o f the siz e o f the handwriting i t is no t at all l ike ly t o have

co lumn d id no t ex tend beyond that l im i t, Frs . 5—6 .

{Hwas p receded by at least

46 co lumns which would o ccupy some 1 3 feet. S ince the fragment concernedapparently re lates t o the p eriod o f the batt le o f the Granicus, it is ev ident thatthe sca le Of the wo rk was very considerab le .

The tex t on the verso p ro ceeds in the Oppo site d irection to that on the recto ,

all been p laced in a group befo re the latte r. Presumab ly the lex icon, wh ich wasof no small compass, was no t comp leted. O f this group only two o r three p iecesare sufficiently we l l p reserved to affo rd a clear clue t o the ir sub ject. Fr. 1

apparently describes the circumstances o f the death o f Philip , Of which an account

is given d iffering somewhat from what is found in o ther sources cf. the

commentary . In Fr . 2 some hexameter lines are quo ted evident ly in connex ionwith the destruction of Thebes

,which was ‘ left without a habitation amongmen

1798. NEW CLASSICAL FRAGMEN TS 1 23

The main fragment is No . 44 ,in which are p reserved the upp er p arts of five

successive co lumns , the fifth,however

,rep resented by the beginn ings o f the

l ines only ; on the ve rso o f th is fragment are two co lumns of the lex icon ,

containing wo rds beginning wi th M Co l. i repeats the wel l - known

sto ry of the physician Phi lip who, afte r hav ing undertaken t o p rescribe fo r

A lexander when suffe ring from feve r at Tarsus in the summer Of B . C . 333, was

accused'

by Parmenion in a le tte r to the king o f be ing in the pay/Of Darius .

Co ls. i i—iv are conce rned w i th the batt le o f Issus,which took p lace in the autumn

o f the same year. A large lacuna intervenes be tween this and Fr. 45, which

mentions A lexander’s passage o f the Euphrates p reparato ry t o the batt le o f

last three o f which twe lve chap ters were given by Di odo rus an al lowance o f as

many co lumns in the p apyrus wou l d ce rtainly no t b e d isp rop o rt ionately large .

The remaining fragments are insignificant .To the ident i ty o f the writer a clue remains to b e found . S ince th ese

fragments , so far as the i r contents are recogniz able , are all directly concernedwith A lexander, i t is a natural assump tion that they come from one o f the many

chronic les, histo rical o r romantic , devo ted t o the career of that striking personalityrather than from a histo ry o f wider s cop e . The main Greek autho rities fo r

A lexander are Of course Di odo rus , A rrian, and P lutarch , and on the batt le o f

Issus, with which the p rincipal fragment o f the papyrus is mo stly concerned , we

have also the statements Of Calli sthenes wh ich are criticiz ed by Po lybius x i i .

17sqq. b ut with none o f these are any marks o f affi nity discoverab le . On the

o the r hand , there are two c lear co incidences with the Roman Quintus Curtius

Rufus, an obscure p ersonali ty who se monograp h on A lexander is commonlyattributed t o the first century A . D. The papyrus agrees p recise ly with Curtius

against A rriamand Plutarch as t o the term s o f the bribe sai d t o have been o ffered

to the p hysician Philip by Darius , and, what is mo re interesting, reaffirms mo re

circum stant ial ly the statement that A lex ander on the eve o f the batt le of Issus

was overcome by an at tack o f ne rve s (see nn. on Fr. 44. i . 8— 1 0,i i. 6 sqq .

b ut no t e lsewhere reco rded , may also b e glanced at by Curtius ; cf. 11 . ad 100.

These co incidences imp ly e ithe r that our autho r was known to Curtius o r

that they had a common source ; the supp o sition that the papyrus drew on

Cu rt ius is t o o imp robable t o need consideration. Curt ius’

Curtius p rincipal ly depended , acco rd ing t o the current v iew, was Clitarchus, b ut

since the same autho rity was c lo se ly fo l lowed by Diodo rus , with whom no

connex ion is traceab le in 1798 , this clearly canno t b e the connecting link between

1798 and Curtius. I t is,however, recogniz ed that Curtius emp loyed o the r

been suggested by Kaerst (Gert /z . a’es Helleni smus , i , p . in agreement w ith

infantry, 1 30 ; cavalry, 1 50. Compared wi th these estimates, our autho r largely reduces

the Persian and increases the Macedonian loss,and he also stands alone , i f the restoration

1799. ORATORICAL FRAGMENT.

X 9 cm . Second century.

This fragment, containing remains o f two co lumns of an unident ified speech ,is written in a smal l slop ing hand which is on the bo rder line between literary

and cursive, some of the fo rms, e . g. the ligature of 6 1, be ing o f a tho rough ly cursivecharacter ; the MS . may fall with in the second. century. 11 at the end o f a l ineis once written as a stroke above the p reced ing vowe l. No stop s o r other signso ccur.

Of the first co lumn only a few letters from the ends of the lines remain, b ut

the second includes a continuous passage o f 25’ nearly comp lete l ines in which

apparently the po licy o f Demo sthenes is vind icated . The declaration that

d isaster would have been avo ided by a tho rough acceptance of that po l icy po ints

to a period subsequent to the battle o f Chae ronea, b ut the o ccasion of the speech

is not made clear. There seems to b e a defect in the text in 11. 20—1 , besides

e lsewhe re the comp iler contents himself with the vague‘some say

’o r the like.

A muti lated passage referring to S imonides’ reputed innovat ion in the alphabetapparently has the negative merit o f d iffering from the statement in Suidas(cf. A . Kircho ff

,Geselz. eles Gr i eelz . Alp/1060 .9

, p . Of the death ofAesop , whowas a favourite subject fo r biography (fragments o f three L ives of Aesop havealready been found in papyri, of the 4th—

7th centuries cf. Collart,Re11. dePI010] .

x li i i , pp . 38 there is a circumstantial account, inc lud ing some new b ut . no t

very valuable de tails. The L ives o f Thucydides and of Hyperidesare too fragmentary to b e info rmative ; o fDemo sthenes little that is fresh could b e ex pected, and

the only nove lty is a b lunder, on a par with the statement that Aesch ines was the

e ldest o f his father’s sons, which Aesch ines himse lf refutes. An anecdo te,found

also in Plutarch , about the genero sity o f Demosthenes t o his defeated rival is

given with greater e labo rat ion in the account of the latter. One would gladlyhave had mo re o f the section concerning Thrasybulus, which included some

details no t o the rwise known, altho ugh erro rs l ike tho se just no ticed do no t give

a goo d imp ress ion o f the accuracy o f the writer, - regarding who se identity we

are entire ly in the dark.

of which stil l adheres to the shee t, showing the kno t , is partial ly coated with thesame co lour. The sty le o f the rathe r heavy slop ing uncials po ints to a date inthe six th century perhap s rathe r than the fifth ; the ink is of the brown shadecharacte ristic o f the Byz ant ine perio d . A s usual , the wo rds o f the glo ssary, which

all begin With are made t o p ro trude s l ightly into the margin and the

conc lusion o f the notes is marked by paragraphi , accompanied here and the re by

stop s in the high o r med ial po sition. Quo tations are sometimes ind icated by theangular signs commonly emp loyed for that purp o se, b ut they are often

omitted.

Marks of e l ision are used,and there is one instance o f a rough breathing (1.

all the se add it ions are due t o the o riginal s cribe , who was app arently a person of

small inte l ligence , though he need no t of course b e the o riginato r o f all the

slip s that o ccur.

1 803 is o f a less interesting characte r than 1 801—2 and the purpo se suggestedis rather scho lastic than scientific citations, however, are commendably frequent

and from these the papyrus large ly de rives its value . They are taken e ithe r

from p ro se (Demo sthenes, Thucydides, Xenophon) o r Comedy,both Old and

New, and add it ions are thus made to the extant fragments of Eupo lis v o ofiu

1 805. SOPHOCL‘

ES, T

Fr. 1 5 1 0 x 9-6 cm. Late second century.

These scattered fragments from a ro ll of the Trachim'

ae are in a med ium

siz ed hand of the common slop ing type, of“

which it is a fair specimen, ,

though

less regular than e. g. 1 800; Some annotations in cursive p o int t o a date in the

latter part of the second centuryrather than the beginning of the t hird. S topsin all t hree p o sitions o ccur, and accents , breathings, and marks o f el ision and

quantity have been introduced no t infrequent ly, some at any rate o f these beingno doubt subsequent additions , due p robably t o the co rrecto r who se hand is tob e d istinguished here and there.

TéXtually'

these fragments are , in the main, conservative . A few new

read ings occur, inc lud ing one o r two which are definite improvements, e . g.

l . 1 1 36, where a generally accep ted co rrection is confirmed. Fo r one of the

unknown variants the autho rity o f, p robably , A ristophanes of Byz antium is

cited . On the o ther hand,the papyrus apparently agrees with the MSS .

,

in

a passage requiring alte ration on metrical grounds, and occasional ly ofi’

ers

evidence which is inferio r t o the irs. In supp lementing lacunae , Jebb’s tex t has

been fo llowed, of course with no imp lication that the papyrus necessarily agreedwith it.

Po ssibly further additions may eventually b e made to the remains o f

this MS.,the scrip t o f which is with difficu ltydi stinguished from that o fnumerous

other fragments which accompanied them.

regard the first two wo rds of this note as a lemma from the Platonic text ; cf. in

marg. 6. The curved symbo l is rather like that in marg. 4, b ut some part may b e lost ina ho le in the papyrus, and at any rate the head differs in having a downward bend. Withregard to the usual tachygraphic equivalent o f ou is an upward curve , but this sometimesdegenerates into a

_ s_ traight stroke , as e . g. inWessely, op . ci t. Plate III.1 2—1 3. (713) K{ 71101011711 1) qp 6p(a t) Z cp, ax(07\ov6109 (713) In this note the

it goes, is in fair p reservation, b ut rather mo re than half the l ines are m issing at

This practical ly comp lete leaf from a papyrus codex is inscribed in a slop inguncial hand, sim ilar in characte r to that of P . Rylands 58(Plate though rathermo re careful and regu lar, and is no

do ub t s of about the same period . The ink,

at the bo ttom o f the verso part ially obl iterated , is o f the charact eristic reddish

brown shade . S t ep s in the m iddle po sition only are used . Whe ther a second

hand can b e d istinguished is doubtfu l . The few alterations and insert ions whicho ccur are sim i lar in style o f writing and co lour o f ink to the body o f the tex t , andmust at any rate b e p ractical ly contempo rary.

The pages are numbered 1 7 and 1 8 resp ective ly, the numbe rs being p lacedas in a modern book in the t op ou tside co rners. In the co rner opposite to that

containing the figure 1 8 is a 8, which seems to b e a stichometrical figure markingthe 400th l ine . With about 25 l ines t o the page , i f the o uter page at the

beginning o f the bo ok was left blank (cf. e . g. P. Rylands the first l ine o f the

1 8th page would b e app rox imate ly I. 400. Surv ivals o f the app licat ion o f

stichomet ry t o the speeches o f Iso crates are t o b e fo und in the Co dex Urb inas

(P) , b ut the unit there is rather larger than that indicated by 1 812 . As Drerup

observes in his edition, p . lxxx i i, t he hundreds o f F co rrespond t o about 93 lines

o f the Teub ner tex t, b ut page 1 8 in the papyrus is p receded by only 3 1 6 such

the o ther hand, the length of the st ichometrica l l ine on the system o f F is

calculated by Drerup at 37 lett ers, wh ich is p recise ly the length o f l ine in 1 812.

The inconsistency is due t o his estimating the Teub ner l ine at 40 le tters , whereas

in the d 9 Anp évwov, at any rate, that number is usually ex ceeded.

The fact that the Anp o'

The hand o f this fragment from a ve llum bo ok is a fine specimen o f Latin

uncial writing, the letters , which are o f med ium siz e, be ing executed with much

p recision, and distinguished by bo th breadth and de l icacy. If it be longs to the

six th century rather than the fifth , it is t o b e p laced no t later than the first third

o f the century, no t only on the ev idence o f the hand b ut also because of the

unlike lihood that after its sup ersession by Justinian'

s Codex o f 529, the Codex

of Theodosius would remain in demand . The fragment is thus app rox imatelya contempo rary o f Paris. 9643 (R), on which

Though p rimari ly valuable as a re lic o f fire o riginal edition, the papyrus

makes some contributions also to the tex t o f the ex tant Co dex . While agree ingwith the MSS . in the om ission o f S ep t imio in l . 20 , it inserts the name S ext(io)in l . 49(with Cod.

inscrip tions of the constitutions l ittle re l iance can b e p laced Upon the evidence o f

the MSS . on such matters ; the tendency to abbreviate was no t to b e resisted,

and Kruger’s rule (cf. ed. mai . pp . xv, x x i i i sqq .) o f supp lying a ful l inscription

from any avai lable so urce i s justified . Thus he had already ado p ted S ext io in

i . 1 8. 2 , and at any rate Iulio can now b e added in 1 8. 1 consistencywou ld

suggest the accep tance also of gu ingueprov ineiarum in i . 1 1 . 3. There is further

some usefu l evidence on ind ividual po ints o f detail. L ines 1 6— 17 show thatCod. i. 1 1 . 9, the inscrip tion o f which was m issing, is t o b e attributed t o

Anastasius , and 11. 31—2 confirm the attribution o f i . 1 4. 1 0 t o Leo and

Anthem ius the name o f the addressee is in bo th cases lo st. After 1. 4 1 there is

no thing co rrespond ing to the suppo sed Greek constitution t o which a p lace

is assigned by Krii ger at i . 1 6. 2,and the ex istence of that constitution, though

no t d isp roved, becomes mo re questionab le .

Palaeographically the fragment is of impo rtance , s ince there are few

examp les o f early Latin uncials that can b e so p recise ly dated with equal security.I t is h igh ly imp robable that the firs t edit ion o f the Co dex wou ld continue t o b e

exp ress p ro hibition in the constitutionDe emendat ione eodieis 5exp r ima ] us t iniani

p laced with smal l risk o f erro r in the s ix years fo llowing Ap ril 529. The letters,written in brown ink, are of medium siz e and we l l fo rmed , b ut the pen was

rather coarse and the papyrus no t of t he best quality, so that, especial ly on the

verso , the effect is no t e legant . In rounded le tters the separate strokes are no t

a lways clo se ly jo ined . As in 1 81 3 , abbreviations are commonly fo l lowed by

a med ial do t o ften accompanied , in the case of aa, cc, pp, &c.,by a hori z ontal

stroke over the letters ; b ut the scribe is inconsistent, om itting sometimes thedo t and sometimes the stroke he writes bo th impp ‘ and imp ~p b ut the latter is

probably due to inadvertence. bo - bus in l. 1 8. When rubrics o r inscrip tionsex tend t o a second l ine o r mo re , these are considerably indented . Rubrics aremarked off by ho riz ontal dashes above and below them and the letter 13! is p laced

both in front and at the end of each,as in the Verona fragments, who se p ractice

is fo llowed by Kruger in his large ed ition. The p refixed Ijl is accompanied bythe number o f the rubric, in Greek figures ; constitutions, with one ex cep tion

uncial letters. Apparent remains o f pagination are v isible in the t op right- hand

4 1 . Below this constitution Kruger marks the p lace of a lost second one, fo llowingindications in MSS . o f P. Pithon. If it had any existence, that constituti onwas presumablyissued by Justinian between the dates of the first and second codices.

42—3. Cod. Iust. here has De veter i zur e enucleando cl auctor i tate i ur i s p rudentzunz guz

in digestis re/eruntur , with two constitutions o f A. D. 530 and 533. In Cod. Theod. i. 4 the

rubric is De respons i s prudentum,under which there are three constitutions, the first two of

which are of Constantine,one p lacing a b an upon/ the commentaries (notas) o f Ulpian

and Paulus on Papinianus, the other upho lding the authority o f Paulus,whi le the third

corre sponds to 11. 44—5 here . It is po ssible that respons is , no t auctor i tate

,stood in the

lacuna of l . 42 , b ut in any case the rubric is no t the same as in Cod. Theod. and is muchshorter than that o f Cod. Iust., occupying in fact an intermediate position. That the first twoconstitutions o f Cod. Theod. i . 4 are dropped i s an anticipation o f Cod. Iust. i. 1 7. 1 6 ea

b e restored with great probability. 3 o f that constitution relates to former codices and toveteres iur i s interp retatores, b ut it i s unlikely that that section, still less the entire constitution,stood in thi s position, where some other rescript to Menas, superseded subsequently, likeCod.
