This volume contains the first editions of 55 Greek literary and
documentary papyri. The theological texts include fragments of
Genesis and Luke, both assignable to the third century. Pride of
place among the new literary texts is given to a retelling of
Egyptian mythology, in which Isis writes to Arianis, appealing for
his help in locating the body of Osiris. Two others are
philosophical (Peripatetic and Stoic). Among the extant classical
texts, large fragments of Plato's Laches offer readings of
particular interest. A paraphrase of Justinian's Digest shows a
professor explaining the relationship between written law and
custom in a mixture of Greek and Graeco-Latin. The documents
include a group of ten private letters and an elaborate
first-person account of a failed attempt to buy camels for the
state.
