Author Description

Excerpt from Catalogue Général Des Antiquités Égyptiennes Du Musée Du Caire: Nos 10001-10869; Greek Papyri In the following catalogue the remark 'fibres vertical' means that the writing is on the recto of the papyrus, but at right angles to the fibres. Where no such remark is made, the writing is, as usually happens, along the fibres. Except where the contrary is stated, the writing is on the recto. The measurements throughout refer to metres. The numbers of the papyri in the catalogue are uniformly printed in heavy type. In the case of Greek words square brackets indicate a lacuna, round brackets the expansion of an abbreviation, and letters with dots under them are to be considered uncertain.
