Summary
Part I continues publication of the New Testament papyri from Oxyrhynchus, with fragments from two codices of Corinthians. Part II offers otherwise unknown hexameter poetry, much of it on traditional mythological subjects; the most substantial fragment, 4850 , combines Homeric language and pathetic rhetoric in a way typical of Late Epic. Part III contains substantial fragments of two rhetoric handbooks. All but two of the thirty-five documentary texts in Part IV relate to giro transfers of private grain-stocks within and between state granaries. The papyri in Part V relate mostly to the fourth and fifth centuries and are chosen for their contribution to the chronology of consulates and post-consulates and include matters on civil and military bearing.
