APF 55.1 (2009)

Daniela Colomo (Oxford)
Citation Information. Archiv für Papyrusforschung und verwandte Gebiete. Volume 55, Issue 1, Pages 1–20, ISSN (Online) 1867-1551, ISSN (Print) 0066-6459, DOI: 10.1515/APF.2009.1, /September/2009

Abstract
In this contribution a papyrus fragment of the Leipzig Papyrus- und Ostrakasammlung is published for the first time. It contains scholia to Callimachus' Iambus XII. The importance of this fragment lies in the new textual elements that contribute to the reconstruction of verses 2 and 3. The textual explanations offer some clues to the content of the lost section of Iambus XII.

A proposito di alcuni papiri berlinesi con Scholia Minora all'Iliade
Davide Muratore (Genova)
Citation Information. Archiv für Papyrusforschung und verwandte Gebiete. Volume 55, Issue 1, Pages 21–31, ISSN (Online) 1867-1551, ISSN (Print) 0066-6459, DOI: 10.1515/APF.2009.21, /September/2009

Abstract
Editions, studies, repertories and web sites dedicated to the Scholia Minora in Homerum testify to the growing interest in these exegetical texts preserved on papyrus. A reconsideration of already published papyri – such as P. Berol. inv. 5014, 11518 and 21306 which constitute the object of the present paper – can often be fruitful, when accompanied by a new inspection and a closer examination in the light of parallel texts.

Zum Prosatext des homerischen Fragments P.Heid. IV 289
Amphilochios Papathomas (Athen)
Citation Information. Archiv für Papyrusforschung und verwandte Gebiete. Volume 55, Issue 1, Pages 32–35, ISSN (Online) 1867-1551, ISSN (Print) 0066-6459, DOI: 10.1515/APF.2009.32, /September/2009

Abstract
The article offers a new interpretation of a prose fragment that is linked to the Homeric cycle and is preserved in the literary papyrus P.Heid. IV 289.1–6. So far the fragment has been correlated to the Cypria, yet the article shows such a correlation to be not without problems and suggests that the fragment should rather be examined together with a Homeric scholion by Porphyry. Since the papyrus is a century earlier than Porphyry, it should be inferred that either the papyrus preserves the source of Porphyry's scholion or that the two texts have the same older mythographical source in common.

Zur Anzahl der an den Lenäen von den Tragikern aufgeführten Dramen
Wolfgang Luppe (Halle/Saale)
Citation Information. Archiv für Papyrusforschung und verwandte Gebiete. Volume 55, Issue 1, Pages 36–39, ISSN (Online) 1867-1551, ISSN (Print) 0066-6459, DOI: 10.1515/APF.2009.36, /September/2009

Abstract
Following the communis opinio tragic poets presented at the Athenian Lenaia only two tragedies, but no satyric play. A revision of the main source IG II2 2319 makes it probable that they presented three tragedies and a satyr play too, just like at the Dionysia.

Neue Vorschläge zu einigen Demosthenes-Papyri
Jana Grusková (Bratislava/Wien)
Citation Information. Archiv für Papyrusforschung und verwandte Gebiete. Volume 55, Issue 1, Pages 40–53, ISSN (Online) 1867-1551, ISSN (Print) 0066-6459, DOI: 10.1515/APF.2009.40, /September/2009

Abstract
This paper presents new readings in several papyri of Demosthenes: P.Sorb. I 6, P.Oxy. LXII 4314+P.Oxy. LXX 4764, P.Oxy. LXII 4318, P.Oxy. LXII 4319, P.Oxy. LXII 4320, P.Oxy. XV 1810 and P.Oxy. LXII 4324. It is based on a critical re-examination of papyri and parchment fragments containing parts of the orations In Philippum I and In Philippum II of Demosthenes published up till 2002 and on a re-examination of the reliable Byzantine codices in the light of contemporary research.

Receipt for a Gratuity to a Cancellarius
Amin Benaissa (Oxford)
Citation Information. Archiv für Papyrusforschung und verwandte Gebiete. Volume 55, Issue 1, Pages 56–62, ISSN (Online) 1867-1551, ISSN (Print) 0066-6459, DOI: 10.1515/APF.2009.56, /September/2009

Abstract
Publication of a sixth-century papyrus from the Bodleian Library in which a cancellarius named Flavius Panodorus acknowledges the receipt of two solidi less six carats as a gratuity (сυνθεια) to his office. The papyrus belongs to the first lot of papyri acquired by the Bodleian Library from B. P. Grenfell in 1894; a list and concordance of the papyri constituting this lot is given in an appendix.

Vino alla calamintha in PUG I 7?
Giovanna Menci (Firenze)
Citation Information. Archiv für Papyrusforschung und verwandte Gebiete. Volume 55, Issue 1, Pages 63–67, ISSN (Online) 1867-1551, ISSN (Print) 0066-6459, DOI: 10.1515/APF.2009.63, /September/2009

Abstract
The sequence of letters καλαμαντιτηc in a short text written on a small sheet of papyrus, PUG I 7 (V/VIp), has created difficulties of interpretation. The solution of this puzzle could be that the letters should not be divided into words, but constitute a single word, incorrectly written, i.e. καλαμινθτηc, a term used by Dioscorides in De mat. med. (5.52) to mean a kind of medicinal wine, flavoured with Calamintha nepeta.

Theophoric Personal Names in Graeco-Roman Egypt. The Case of Sarapis
Willy Clarysse (Leuven)
Mario C. D. Paganini (Oxford)
Citation Information. Archiv für Papyrusforschung und verwandte Gebiete. Volume 55, Issue 1, Pages 68–89, ISSN (Online) 1867-1551, ISSN (Print) 0066-6459, DOI: 10.1515/APF.2009.68, /September/2009

Abstract
The present study, with its concentration on the diffusion of Sarapis names, is intended to demonstrate how onomastic data, collected in computerised databases, can be useful in different ways. It took a long time before parents were prepared to give children Sarapis names, and the majority (85%) were derivations (e.g. Sarapion, Sarapias) rather than full theophoric names (e.g Sarapadoros, Sarapammon), which occur only in Roman times. Some names like Sarapous and Sarapas are geographically limited, and a local martyr cult preseves the popularity of Sarapion and Sarapammon into the Christian period in Middle Egypt. The refinement of the statistical method may lead to wider and different questions.

Prosopographica II
Nikolaos Gonis (London)
Citation Information. Archiv für Papyrusforschung und verwandte Gebiete. Volume 55, Issue 1, Pages 90–95, ISSN (Online) 1867-1551, ISSN (Print) 0066-6459, DOI: 10.1515/APF.2009.90, /September/2009

Abstract
A sequel to a series of notes on high-ranking persons who flourished in Late Antique Egypt (the first instalment appeared in APF 51/1 (2005) 87–94). This series refers to the alleged Oxyrhynchite dossier of Fl. Flavianus; the identity of the person who gave his name to the ‘oikos of Theon’; a new attestation for Fl. Strategius II, masqueraded under a misreading; the problem of the Hermopolite comes or comites named Demetrios; and a ghost-dux.

Maria Chiara Scappaticcio (Napoli)

Abstract
Personal inspection of the extant fragments of the Latin-Greek Vergilian palimpsest (L 120 sup) allows new considerations concerning the text of the Aeneid and the way in which it was read and performed. The text here presented includes all the signs and accents that previous editors have ignored.

Abstract
The ‘Papyrus Portal’ is a project that aims to provide the user with an efficient and effective search of all digitized and electronically catalogued papyrus collections in Germany, and a unified presentation of the search results with the most important information on the particular papyrus. This includes links to the local home databases which have more details on each piece. The ‘Papyrus Portal’ unites the different information technologies of the original databases and presents the search results in a standard format. A conventiontional format for the recording of the metadata has been established.
