Abstract
In the editio princeps some readings must be corrected and some supplements are not acceptable. The sections always begin with μετ' λλα τη. The correct name of the Ionians is ωνε. The namse of both Ion's and Hesiod's father probably stood in the text. The author proposes some new supplements.

Il Papiro di Artemidoro: per un'interpretazione della sequenza testuale

Abstract
The new sequence proposed for the sections of the Artemidorus papyrus (b-c-a-d) allows for a reassessment of the text and of the nature of the artifact. Columns I–III are best understood as an inner passage from book 2 of Artemidorus' Geographoumena; columns IV-V-I-II-III seem to comprise a continuous text whose parts are connected by thematic threads. Perhaps the papyrus was first conceived as a preparatory work for an edition of book 2 of Artemidorus' Geographoumena.

Abstract
Among the many reasons why the Artemidorus Papyrus cannot be a modern forgery, one of the most powerful is the problem of acquiring the right material. A forger would have to have found a blank papyrus roll of finest quality, about 300 × 32,5 cm, produced at the beginning of the first century AD, and he would have to have known the date of its production to be able to choose a handwriting matching the paleography of the time. There is no material which meets these requirements, not even the famous blanks of papyrus excavated in the late mounds of Antinoupolis with which «sacks might have been filled».
Keywords: P.Artemid., authenticity, blank papyrus, forgery

Abstract
In P.Cair. Zenon I 59003, which records the sale of a slave, the social status of the vendor and witnesses is described by their relation to Toubias, whose family administered the Transjordanian region from Persian times. Toubias is often thought to have been a commander in the Ptolemaic cavalry, but a new analysis of the papyrus shows that in fact he was a so-called eponymous officer, which was not a military rank. However, he had a very high status in the hierarchy of the Ptolemaic empire.

Abstract
Publication of six documentary papyrus fragments of the fifth century AD from the Beinecke Library, Yale University. Four of them contain consular dates and include two contracts of uncertain content, a contract involving an agens in rebus who was landowner in Oxyrhynchus, and a bilingual report of proceedings. Another papyrus is an acknowledgment of debt for 80 jars by a group of potters to a notable figure. The last document is an account featuring a number of ‘Copticised’ names.

A Note on Some Price Indications from Roman Egypt Featuring Peculiar Amounts of Drachmas
Robert P. Salomons (Nijmegen) Klaas A. Worp (Leiden)
Citation Information. Archiv für Papyrusforschung und verwandte Gebiete. Volume 56, Issue 2, Pages 286–289, ISSN (Online) 1867-1551, ISSN (Print) 0066-6459, DOI: 10.1515/APF.2010.286,
Abstract
In Roman Egypt, prices of real estate and animals tend to have been settled in multiples of four drachmas so that payment could be in tetradrachma-coins. If such prices were not divisible by four, the readings of numerals or the conversion from bronze to silver drachmas would turn out to be wrong in many cases. Only a small number of amounts not divisible by four turn out to be inescapably correct.
Keywords: Roman Egypt, commodity prices, tetradrachmas
Zwei Schultexte der Bodleian Library in Oxford: Das Gebet eines frommen Sünders, ein Psalmenvers und Fragen zur Reihenfolge des koptischen Alphabets

Abstract
Two new editions of school texts provide a further glimpse into teaching and learning in late antiquity. A prayer and a psalm verse are used as spelling and calligraphic excercises respectively. The manner in which the alphabet is practised reveals a particular order of the additonal Egyptian characters that define the Coptic alphabet.

Eine frühe arabische Quittung aus Oberägypten

Citation Information. Archiv für Papyrusforschung und verwandte Gebiete. Volume 56, Issue 2, Pages 294–314, ISSN (Online) 1867-1551, ISSN (Print) 0066-6459, DOI: 10.1515/APF.2010.294,
Abstract
Apart from military personnel, the presence of Arabs in post-conquest Upper Egypt is poorly documented both in the literary sources and the papyri. The present first edition of an Arabic document from the town of Djême may be evidence of very early contacts between conquerors and indigenous population on a civilian level even in such a remote provincial place. In the text, a Copt receives a receipt for the purchase of real estate from a recently deceased Arab woman.
