Produktbeschreibung
Excerpt from Revenue Laws of Ptolemy Philadelphus: Edited From a Greek Papyrus in the Bodleian Library, With a Translation, Commentary, and Appendices The Revenue Papyrus consists of two rolls, of which the first containing columns 1-72 was obtained by Prof. Flinders Petrie in the winter of 1893-4; the second, containing the other columns and originally perhaps wrapped round the first roll, if not actually forming a part of it, was obtained by myself in the winter of 1894-5. The first roll measures 44 feet long; the second, of which only fragments exist, must at one time have measured not less than 15 feet. The height of the papyrus cannot, owing to its fragmentary condition, be precisely determined, but was in the case of columns 59-72 about 9¿ inches, in that of the rest 3¿ inches more. The papyrus is thus by far the largest Greek papyrus known, and as it is in several places dated ´in the twenty-seventh year´ of Philadelphus, or 259/8 B. C., it is also nearly the oldest. Both the external and the internal evidence point to its provenance having been the Fayoum, a remarkable fact, since the countless Greek papyri which have been found in that province have, with the exception of the Gurob papyri and a few others, all belonged to a much later date.
