Eirene. Studia Graeca et Latina 52 (2016)

Bulletin of the American Society of Papyrologists , 2018

This is the fourth installment of an ongoing edition of papyri from various collections including Florence, Prague, and Vienna. The earlier installments appeared in Eirene 34 (1998), 40 (2004), and 46 (2010), and the current installment shares Eirene 52 (2016) with "Varia Classica" (pp. 291-547), a miscellany of articles on classical subjects including two that may be of interest to readers of this journal, one on three fragmenta dubia of Pindar (P.Harr. 1.8 and PSI 2.145-146) by A. Tibiletti ("Nugae Pindaricae," pp. 295-316) and another on Herodas 2 by N. Piacenza ("Callimaco, Apollonio ed il tentato furto di Mirtale: un processo per plagio nel Mimiambo 2 di Eronda," pp. 323-339; in short, the brothel-keeper Battaros = Callimachus, who accuses Thales = Apollonius of Rhodes of the theft of Myrtale = Callimachus' poetry). In what follows I will concentrate on the papyrological text editions that precede the "Varia Classica." The two editors have secured the collaboration of 30 other scholars, including students from Budapest. There are 50 numbered items in all, but 9 is actually two texts (9A and 9B) and the last three are not text editions but articles, one by F. Nicolardi ("Les témoignages papyrologiques du rhéteur Aelius Théon," pp. 248-256) concerned with the papyrological testimonia for the rhetor Aelius Theon (a fourth/fifth-century fragment of the Progymnasmata, MP 3 1498.1, and a contemporary letter written by an Aelius Theon, P.Oxy. 59.3992), another by R. Mascellari ("Note di lettura a papiri documentari," pp. 264-270) consisting of a series of notes on documentary papyri (P.Col. 7.173, where ἐκ δίκης [ in line 14 becomes ἐκδικῆσ[αι, P.Oslo 2.42, P.Prag. 3.209, P.Tebt. 2.327, and instances of ἄγνοια), and the last by K.A. Worp ("Localisation d'un camp de l'armée romaine à Psinabla," pp. 271-276) proposing to identify Psinabla, a Roman army camp in Notitia Dignitatum Or. 31.54, with a squarish (modern) settlement located between Tahta (Toëto) and Girgeh (Pakerke) with which Psinabla is associated in P.Panop.Beatty 1 and 2.169.
