The latest volume of papyri from Oxyrhynchus includes new texts of
Greek drama (a tragic rhesis probably by Euripides, plot-summaries
of two tragedies which may have some connection with the lost
Hippolytos Kalyptomenos, an addition to Act II of Menander's
Epitrepontes, a rhetorical exercise Enkomion of the Horse, a
treatise on star-signs in Greek poets, etc.) and versions of known
literary texts (all the remaining EES papyri with extracts of
Hesiod's Theogony, Works and Days and Shield, whose interest lies
in their omission or inclusion of verses suspected by ancient
scholars and modern editors; also included are a fragment with
Homeric Hymns and the first known papyrus of Batrachomyomachia).
The third section of the volume contains three writing exercises
and three pieces of erotic magic; and the fourth section
documentary texts mainly of the fifth century AD chosen for their
chronological and prosopographical interest, many providing the
earliest or latest known dates for the use in Egypt of certain
consulates for dating purposes. These texts illustrate the
continuing flow of essential business: loans, supplies of wine,
leases of land and houses and rooms, maintenance of irrigation
machines and the transport of grain.
