Torn remains, abraded in places, of two consecutive columns of a commentary on Iliad V written in black ink on the recto of a light brown papyrus sheet which is broken off on all four sides; evidently, the papyrus sheet once formed part of a book roll. 1 Fr. 1 is a composite of four smaller pieces (a-d) which are more or less secure-ly placed in relation to the Homeric text. Although fr. 2 (e) cannot be joined cleanly to the main text, it appears to have broken away from the upper left--hand part of col. i. Column width variably c. 13-14.5 cm; height of column unknown but at least 22 cm, occupied by at least 54 lines. Intercolumnium c. 1-2 cm. 2 Bottom--margin at least 2.5 cm high. A first sheet--join is at 1.6 cm from the left edge, a second at 3.8 cm from the right edge of the papyrus. Four damaged lines on the verso.
Recapturing a Homeric Legacy: Images and Insights from the Venetus A Manuscript of the Iliad
Opera della raffinata editoria constantinopolitana nell'epoca della rinascenza macedone, il co dice marciano Gr. Z. 454 (=822) presenta in un unico manoscritto di grandi dimensioni (mm 390 x 290) il testo dell'Iliade e gli scolii che erano stati elaborati lungo il tempo, a partire dall'Alessandria tolemaica e dai commentatori e filologi tardo antichi. Di tali commenti il ma noscritto, denominato Venetus A, risulta in buona parte testimone unico. La datazione al me dio decimo secolo, o poco oltre, è stata proposta in particolare sulla base dell'analisi paleogra fica della scrittura, una minuscola strettamente omogenea a quella dell'Aristotele Parigino Gr. 1741. Congruenti i capilettera decorati che danno inizio a ciascuno dei libri.

Among the sixteen Ptolemaic texts (33–44) from the collection of the Greek papyri of the Department of Classics at Stanford are petitions, official correspondence, letters, a declaration of surety with royal oath – one the earliest dated texts in the collection (227 BC) ¬– and an account. Most notable is the discovery of the upper part of P. Köln VI 261, a petition to the oikonomos Apollonios (33 + 18) about oil-contraband and prisoners of war. Another petition is addressed to the oikonomos Poseidonios (Prosopographia Ptolemaica I/VIII 1079) about the wool tax (34), while text (35), a draft written with an Egyptian rush, reports an effraction at night with arson. The official correspondence deals with tax-farming and oil-bearing products. (http://ancientworldonline.blogspot.com/2015/10/newly-open-access-journal-journal-of.html)
The question of Book Ten of the Iliad is well known and has been extensively studied. So let me therefore make it very clear from the start that I have absolutely no intention here of reviewing and reexamining all the studies, arguments and analyses dealing with the presence of the Doloneia in the construction of the Iliad as it has come down to us, the structural difficulties and problems of consistency it raises from a unitary point of view, the question of whether it belonged to the " original " plan of the poem, or of the time at which it may have been included and thus its character as an interpolation 1. So basically, my theme does not belong to the context of modern studies in Homeristics dedicated to the origin and formation of the poem Iliad as we know it. Here I will deal specifically with reconstructing what we know on the observations by the ancient scholars concerning Iliad Book Ten, trying to highlight the relevance and implications of this discussion for ancient criticism and the history of philology. Our starting point is the celebrated scholium contained in manuscript T (Townleianus) at the beginning of Book Ten, which I cite from the Erbse edition.
