Papyri from Karanis: The Granary C123 is the twenty- first volume
of University of Michigan papyri and the fourth devoted to texts
from the University's excavations at Karanis. The volume offers a
contextualized edition of thirty-seven documents found in a single
structure, a large granary (C123) originally built in the first
century CE, in addition to an analysis of the archaeology and
history of the structure. The documents are presented with an
introduction, transcription of the original Greek or Latin,
translation, commentary, and images. A unique community prayer to
the emperor and gods (827) is the volume's most notable
contribution. The other papyri are a mix of private and public
documents (petitions, declarations, letters, lists, etc.) that date
from between the first century BCE and the fourth century CE. The
typological and chronological mix of texts shows that they do not
form an undisturbed archive but were rather a dump of wastepaper
and other household objects. Michigan's excavated papyri are here
presented for the first time on the basis of their archaeological
find spot rather than being organized according to content. The
volume's introduction provides a possible model for analyzing
legacy data from the Karanis excavations stored at the University
of Michigan. The book will be of interest to papyrologists, ancient
historians, and archaeologists of Greco- Roman Egypt.
