NOTE ON THE METHOD OF PUBLICATION AND

LIST OF ABBREVIATIONS USED
In the following pages literary texts (with the exception of No. v) are
printed just as they were written, except that words are separated from each
other.
Only those stops, breathings and other lection signs are inserted which
are found in the original.

The non-literary texts have been printed in ordinary type and in modern
form with accents, breathings and stops. Abbreviations and symbols in the
text are resolved, except in those cases in which a sum is written out both in
words and signs elsewhere symbols are relegated to the critical notes, as also
are lection signs, e.g. diaereses, except those over figures.
Owing to the
;

exigencies of the press, a sign which occurs more than once is as a rule only
printed on the first occasion on which it is used. Iota adscript is reproduced
wherever it was actually written
otherwise iota subscript is printed. Faults
;

of orthography are corrected in the critical notes wherever they seemed likely
to cause any difficulty.
Corrections, if written in a hand different from that of

the body of the papyrus, are printed in small type

To summarize the literature evoked by the publication of the 'Logia,'

and to answer the criticisms directed against the view which we suggested, is
far too large a task to be entered on here, though perhaps we may attempt
it on some future occasion.

literature, and a lucid exposition of the different explanations of the text and

Chronological Work.

Six columns from a chronological work giving a list of the chief events in
Greek, Roman, and Oriental history, dated by the Olympiads and archons at
Athens. The portion preserved concerns the years '^SS-'^^S ^-C. and the writer
notes events of importance, not only in politics, but in literature and in connexion
;

with the Olympic games.

The

containing this treatise has been cut down in order that the verso
be
used for some accounts. There is therefore a lacuna at the top
might
and bottom of each column, but not more than a few lines have been lost in
either case. The accounts on the verso are written in a not very late third century cursive hand, so that the writing on the recto, which is in good-sized
sloping uncials, can hardly be later than about 250 A. D. Judging by its general
resemblance to the handwriting of the Plato fragment facsimiled in Plate VI, we
should not put it earlier than 200,
The date of composition can be fixed with tolerable precision. Though the
dating is only by Olympiads and archons, and the consuls are not given, the
mention of events in Roman history, and particularly the reference to the Vestal
Virgins (III. '^'^-'^j), preclude an earlier date than B.C. 30; and considering
the date of the manuscript itself the terminus ad quern may be placed at the
end of the second century. To that century we should be inclined to assign

the composition in its present form, though if, as is highly probable, it is a compendium of a larger work, that work may well have been written in the century
preceding. The writing of chronologies and chronological compendia was much
in

vogue during these two

centuries, but the materials are too scanty to

attempt

to trace the authorship of our fragment.

As in the case of the recently-discovered piece of the Parian Chronicle,
which covers the period from '^'7,6 to 298 B.C., the information given by the

papyrus is rather meagre and frequently too indefinite to afford any new light.
Alexander's Asiatic campaigns, for instance, are dismissed in four lines, though the
writer is somewhat more detailed when he comes to events which interest him,
In its chronology of events relating to
as for instance the invasion of Egypt.
Greek history, the papyrus is generally in accord with the received chronology
until the period following the death of Alexander, when it embarks upon

to our hypothesis is the fact that the murder of Dion is always attributed to Callippus,
and Dionysius is not known to have been in any way concerned in it. But on the
other hand it is not recorded that Dionysius assassinated any one of eminence at this

of his responsibility for that event is not unnatural.

(cf. III. 1-7, the accession of Darius Codomannus in 338-7) differs somewhat widely
from the received chronology. The Ptolemaic Canon places Arses' accession between
Nov. 15, 338, and Nov. 15, 337, and Darius' accession between Nov. 15, 336, and
Nov. 15, 335.
This is confirmed both by Arrian ii. 142, who quotes the substance
of a letter from Darius to Alexander implying that the expedition of Philip in 336 was
to be directed against Arses, and, to some extent, by Diodorus, who stales (xvii. 5, 6)
that Arses was killed in the third year of his reign, and that Darius succeeded him
about the time at which Alexander succeeded Philip.' A few lines later, however

two years. With regard to the length of Arses' reign, the papyrus is consistent with
Diodorus and the Canon. But in the dates which it assigns to the accessions of Arses
and Darius there is a divergence from both these authorities of two, if not three, years.
A further discrepancy between Diodorus and the papyrus occurs in III. 3, where the
brothers of Arses are said to have been put to death along with him.

23. It is unfortunate that most of the notices of Roman history are either rather
vague or more or less mutilated. The war between the Romans and Samnites referred
to in the present passage must be the First Samnite War,which according to Livy (vii. 29-31)
began in 343 and ended in 341. The battle apparently referred to here was probably
that at Mount Gaurus or at Suessula, both of which Livy places in the first year of
the war.

With regard however to the intervals between the Latin revolt and the scandal concerning
the Vestals, and between that event and the Second Samnite War, the papyrus is in
agreement with Livy. It is in reference to the date assigned to the expedition of
Alexander the Molossian that there is the clearest divergence.

after

375-385,

there must have been another column on the recto before 429-441, and then
each column would not have contained more than eighteen lines on an average.

Assuming

that the margin at the bottom was about the

same

as the margin at

the top, this would give a page of about 14 x 22 cm., which is an unlikely size.
It is more probable that there was no column on the verso after 375-385.
This

would give a column of fifty-four lines, and a page nearly ^^ cm. high by
22 cm. broad, if a column is lost on the verso before 375-385, or by 11 cm.
broad if there was only one column on a page. The fragment cannot be part of
an opisthographic roll, since the writing on the verso precedes that on the 7-ecto.
The verso (as in the case of the Logia' fragment) is numbered at the top pt[.

consisted of 130 pages, and must have contained considerably more than this

With

regard to the occasion when a drachma was regarded as having six instead of seven obols,

the obols in copper, the two metals being kept distinct.
Besides Roman copper coins
Ptolemaic copper continued to be largely used especially in the first century (cf. xcix. 9),

According

to the nurse's assertion the infant

Pesouris, however, declined to believe this, and
claimed a child which Saraeus was nursing, and which she declared to be her

on the plea that it was really the foundling. The judgement given was
of the nature of a compromise. The claim of Pesouris to the living child
was rejected, while Saraeus was ordered to refund the money she had received
from him in her capacity as nurse. It appears from No. xxxviii that Pesouris, or,
as he is there called, Syrus, was much dissatisfied with this verdict.

The explanation of this curious
the unsettled character of the Empire. The war

between Constantine and Licinius took place in the first half of 323, and until
its conclusion there were two sets of consuls, Severus and Rufinus, the regular
consuls for the year, in the West, and Licinius Augustus VI and Licinius Caesar II
in the East, as was first shown by the Vienna papyrus mentioned above (Mommsen

Hermes

xxxii. p. 545)'

-^t

any

rate,

for greater accuracy, the scribe of our

papyrus dated the year not only by the existing consuls, but by the consuls-elect
(d7ro8etx^7](ro/xez;o6), whom he does not name, but indicates sufficiently by saying
that they would be,

when

elected, consuls for the third time,

who were

i.

e.

the Caesars

actually consuls for the third time in 324.

THE OXYRHYNCHUS PAPYRI

88

But why were the existing consuls ignored in Ix. 12, where the date is onlygiven by the consuls-elect ? The explanation probably is that that papyrus was
written on Aug. 17, just after the defeat of Licinius.
This is borne out by
a comparison of the Vienna papyrus, dated May 23, 323, where the consuls are
given as the two Licinii, and Pap. de Geneve I 10, written about August 8 (the
exact day is uncertain), which is dated by the regular consuls for 323 (Mommsen,
1.

c).

The

writer of Ix, being in doubt as to

who

the consuls

the year

for

really were, gives only the year of the consuls-elect.

The difficulty of this explanation is the necessity of supposing that the
scribe omitted the names of the consuls-elect, although he knew them, and,

secondly, that Crispus and Constantine were acknowledged so long beforehand

by Licinius as consuls-elect for 324. This might be avoided by taking the
&TTobeLxdr]ar6iJ.evoL viraToi. to be the two Licinii, and supposing that they had

themselves consuls-elect for 324 for the third time together. The
objections to this view are, first, the change of case from the genitive to the
declared

dative, secondly, the fact that to y

There are two churches (?), the north and the south, which give their names to
two streets. Mention is also made of the Theatre, the Capitolium, three sets of
baths, the Gymnasium, the Nilometer, the gates of Pesor and Pses, and the
north and south gates.
Streets are named in various ways; sometimes by an adjective, e.g.
sometimes from an individual, e. g. the
Shepherds' Street, Libyan Street
Street of Seuthes, the Street of Apollonius; but most frequently from some
prominent building or house which they contained or adjoined.

Paniscus, strategus of the Oxyrhynchite nome, to Asclepiades, basilicogrammateus

of the same nome, greeting.
At the last sale of taxes held by myself and you in the
presence of the customary officials, the farmers of the tax on sales and the farmer of
the tax payable to the record office not only refused to bid, on the plea that they had

incurred sufficient loss already, but seemed likely to abscond.

I
accordingly thought it
best to write to his excellency the praefect on the matter.
He replied requesting me
to examine the terms under which the taxes had previously been farmed, and as far as
possible to lighten the burden of the farmers, in order to prevent the disappearance of
those who were being pressed to bid.
I have therefore already sent you the copy of
his letter to inform you, and to acquaint you with the fact that in your absence, as
the taxes have been refused by the present farmers and no one else at all has come
forward to undertake the responsibility, though the taxes have been put up to auction
several times, I have taken declarations by the farmers of the tax upon sales and those
payable to the record office

lived on for eleven years, and since her death another five years elapsed without Theon
having dared to bring forward his claim. Moreover Eubulia in her lifetime sold to
Dionysius, the aforesaid brother of the elder Sarapion, property which had belonged
to Sarapion for the sum of six talents of silver with the further stipulation that Dionysius
should repay Sarapion's creditors the debts owed to them; and though Theon was

Clodius Culcianus, praefect of Egypt, from Aurelius Demetrius,

a fraud to my detriment.
prosecuted before your highness, he entreated to be allowed to settle his debts without
the trouble of an action.
Up to the present moment he is still putting off the payment,
taking a mean advantage of my forbearance, while I am in debt to the most sacred
treasury not only on account of the deficit in connexion with the duty which I have
performed as superintendent of the corn-supply, but also in connexion with both my
private estate and the municipal post which I undertook, and I have no other resources than
this money in question.
On all these counts therefore I beg and entreat you to instruct,
if
you will, the strategus or any other magistrate whom you may sanction, that Sotas shall
be compelled by seizure of the securities provided in his written bonds now at length
to make repayment, or that, if he is recalcitrant, he shall be summoned before your

ledge the receipt from you, through the bank of Heraclides and his partners at the Serapeum

near the city of Oxyrhynchus, of a hundred and sixty-eight drachmae of silver, being the
balance owing to me from you of the seven hundred drachmae of silver which I lent you
by the terms of a contract executed through the bank in the month of Athyr in the twentysecond year of the deified Hadrian which is the first year of our sovereign Antoninus
Caesar, the payment of the sum covering 50 months dating from the month Hadrianus of
that same year at the rate of 15 drachmae each month. The present payment follows upon
the instalment of the seven hundred drachmae, namely five hundred and thirty-two drachmae,
which I previously received from you as I acknowledged in the written receipt which I gave
you through the said bank in the month of Athyr of the past fourth year

A.D. 55.

Sale of half a house by Pnepheros, son of Papontos, to Tryphon, son

of Dionysius (cf. xxxviii, xxxix), in the second year of Nero, for 32 talents
of copper.
At the end is a docket showing that the tax on the sale had been

paid to the bank of Sarapion, and resembling the dockets of the royal bank
found on Ptolemaic contracts. The amount of the tax (to kyKVKXiov, cf. xcv

and xcvi) was

3 talents 1200 drachmae,

i.e.

a tenth of the price, the

same

proportion as that under the later Ptolemies, in addition to a further charge, the
nature of which is obscure.

Dionysia, daughter of Chaeremon, with her guardian who is her son Apion also
called Dionysius, son of Diogenes, both of Oxyrhynchus, has leased to Psenamounis, son
of Thonis and Seoeris, from Paberke in the eastern toparchy, a Persian of the Epigone, for
six years dating from the present sixth year of our sovereign Antoninus Caesar, 38 arourae
belonging to her and previously cultivated by Psenamounis under another lease, on these
conditions.
For the first five years fixed by the agreement the lessee may sow and gather
whatever crops he chooses with the exception of woad and coriander (?); in the last year he
shall sow and gather the same crops as those appointed for him in the last year of the
previous lease. The rent of the whole leasehold during the six years is fixed at 190 artabae
of wheat a year and a money-payment of 1 2 drachmae a year, which shall all be free of
'

land-tax being paid by the lessor, who shall also be the owner of the crops
is paid.
If in any of the years there should be a failure of water, an
allowance shall be made to the lessee.
He shall also, when the lease is guaranteed to him,
measure into the public granary from the amount fixed as the rent for the year the yearly
corn tax on the buildings, at his own expense, and he shall pay this deposit to the lessor
free of all adulteration every year at the time of the first measuring, an equivalent allowance

every

risk, the

until

the rent

being made to him. The remainder of the yearly rent together with the money-payment
he shall always pay to the lessor in the month of Payni at the granary of Paberke, new,

no barley in it, similar to that which is delivered at the

public granary, measured by the bronze-rimmed measure containing four choenices used for
payments to the lessor or her agents. Any arrears owed by the lessee shall be paid with
the addition of half their amount.
The lessor shall have the right of execution upon both
the person and all tlie property of the lessee, and the lessor shall not be permitted to let
clean, unadulterated, sifted wheat, with

the property to any one else or to cultivate it herself within the six years.
This lease
is valid.
The sixth year of the Emperor Caesar Titus Aelius Hadrianus Antoninus

Augustus Pius, Phaophi 5.

I, Psenamounis, son of Thonis, have taken the land on lease for the six years at a yearly
rental of 190 artabae of wheat and a money-payment of 12 drachmae, and I will make all
the payments aforesaid.

306.

Lease of nine arourae near the village of Sestoplelo in the middle toparchy
Antiochia to Aurelius Dioscorus for one year. The land was to be
Aurelia
by
Of
with
sown
flax, and the rent was i talent 3,500 drachmae for each aroura.
the total rent the lessor acknowledges the receipt of 4 talents, while the balance
was to be paid in the following Epeiph, after the harvest.

The papyrus is dated in two ways, first (1-2) by the consuls, the Augusti
Constantius and Maximianus (Galerius) for the sixth time, and secondly (21-23)
by the regnal year of the Augusti and Caesars. It is noteworthy that though
the papyrus was written on Oct. 3, 306, and Constantius, who had died in Gaul,
had been succeeded by his son Constantine on July 25, 306, Constantius is
spoken of as being in his fifteenth year, to which he of course never attained.
The explanation probably is that the scribe was still in ignorance of Constantius'
death cf. introd. to cxxxv, and G. P. I. Ixxviii dated in Phamenoth (Feb.-March)
;

of 306-7, in which the date is correctly given as the fifteenth year (of Galerius)
=:the third (of Severus and Maximinus) = the second (of Constantine).

Lease of an aroura of land near the village of Isionpanga by Aurelius

Themistocles, gymnasiarch and prytanis of Oxyrhynchus, to Aurelius Leonidas
and Aurelius Dioscorus, for one year. The land was to be sown with flax, and
the crop was to be divided equally between landlord and tenant.
The papyrus is dated Phaophi 16 (Oct. 13) in the consulship of Sabinus
and Rufinus (316), and incidentally mentions in 6 the current twelfth = ninth

THE SIXTH AND SEVENTH CENTURIES

203

'To Apion my kind lord, lover of Christ and the poor, all-esteemed and most
magnificent patrician and dux of the Thebaid, from Anoup, your miserable slave upon
your estate called Phakra. No injustice or wickedness has ever attached to the glorious
house of my kind lord, but it is ever full of mercy and overflowing to supply the needs of
others.
Therefore I, your miserable slave, desire by this petition for mercy to bring it to
your lordship's knowledge that I serve my kind lord as my fathers and forefathers did and
pay the taxes every year. But by the will of God in the past loth and i ith indiction years
my cattle died, and 1 borrowed a considerable sum amounting to 1 5 solidi in order to be
able to buy the same number of cattle again.
Yet when I approached my kind lord and
asked for pity in my straits, the servants of my lord refused to do my kind lord's bidding.
For unless your pity extends to me, my lord, I cannot stay on my holding and serve the
interests of the estate.
But I beseech and urge your lordship to command that mercy
should be shown me because of the disaster that has overtaken me.
For I have no other
refuge than in the Lord Christ and your eminence. And I will send up unceasing hymns to
the Lord Christ for the life of your lordship and that of your most magnificent son, my lord

Strategius.'
this pcrson is perhaps the Flavins Strategius addressed in Gizeh
10,031, under the titles dno vndrcov arpaTrjXdrrji evKKfiaraTos TrarpiKios npcoTevcov
Kara re Trjv 'HpaKXeovs Koi Kara ravTrjv rfju Xafinpau 'O^. noXiv.
The document, which is
dated in the year 535, is an acknowledgement of the receipt through a. fivXoKOTros of a basket
(KoXados) required for a mill {fxvXaiop) belonging to Strategius ; and it follows precisely the
formula used in the similar receipts addressed to Flavins Apion (8ia Mrjva olKeTov k.t.X.) of
which cxxxvii is an example. There is therefore reason to connect the Strategius of
No. 10,031 with the house of Flavins Apion, and the Strategius of the present text is the

23. 'STpaTrjylu:

Museum, No.

son of an Apion.
As the Flavins Apion papyri do not begin until about 15 years later
than No. 10,031, Strategius was probably his elder brother or even, possibly, his father.

The papyrus is dated Phamenoth 25 (March 21) in the fourth year of
the Emperor Tiberius Constantinus, 1 2th indiction. There is, as so often happens,
an inconsistency between the two halves of the date. Tiberius reckons the

beginning of his reign from the time when he was made Caesar by Justin
(cf. G. P. I. Ix. 2, note), and this event is placed by historians in Dec. 574, so
that his fourth year was Dec. 577-57^.
But since Justin did not die till October
the
fourth
sole
of
Tiberius'
578,
year
reign was of only two months' duration, and

March 578 Justin was still Emperor. Moreover the 12th indiction on the
ordinary reckoning was 578-9, and it could not have begun so early as Phamenoth

are dated in Phaophi (October) of the 8th year of Tiberius, ist indiction. This is
so far consistent that, reckoning from Dec. 574 as the beginning of Tiberius' reign.

the indiction and the year of the Emperor agree in making the date of these
papyri Oct. 582. But the accession of Maurice took place in August 582, so we

of the transaction, from Aurelius Pamouthius, lead-worker, son of George and Anniana,
coming from the city of Oxyrhynchus. I agree of my own free will and with the oath by
Heaven and the Emperor to be surety and pledge to your magnificence, through your
representatives, for Aurelius Abraham, son of Herminus and Herais, who comes from the
estate Great Tarouthinus belonging to your magnificence in the Oxyrhynchite nome, and is
I engage that he shall continually abide and stay on his holding
entered as your labourer.
along with his friends and wife and herds and all his possessions, and be responsible for all
and
that regards his person or the fortunes of him who has been entered as a cultivator
that he shall in no wise leave his holding or remove to another place, and if he is required
of me by your magnificence through your representatives at any date or for any reason
whatsoever, I will bring him forward and produce him in a public place without any
attempt at flight or excuse, in the keeping of your same honoured house just as he is now
;

when

If I do not do this I agree to forfeit for his non-appearance

I become his surety.
and my failure to produce him 8 gold solidi, actual payment of which is to be enforced.

question I have given by assent.

between Flavius Apion the younger and John, contractor of

belonging to Flavius Apion, by which John agreed to undertake
for a year the charge of Apion's stable in addition to the racecourse, and to
provide him with animals whenever they were required, in return for the payment
of one pound of gold (72 solid!).
Judging from the number of references in the papyri to the racecourse
at Oxyrhynchus, it was very popular at this period.
Cf. cxl, cxlv, cl, civ.
At the top of the document is part of a protocol in brown ink, similar
to those frequently met with in long Byzantine papyri.

24 of which were equivalent to 22^ solidi of pure gold in cxxvi, a proportion of 16 to 15.
Here since 45 solidi are paid to make up the deficiency in purity on 720 solidi, the
difference between the pure gold and the other is slightly less, the ratio being 17 to 16.
As this papyrus was written long after Justinian's reign, his attempt to abolish the
