Facial Scars in the Greek Papyri
The indication of the location of a scar or scars on various parts of a body was used for the identification of persons in a large number of Greek non-literary documents. Facial scars were mentioned most frequently, obviously because they were the most distinguishing feature of the parts of the body that were not usually covered, and one could observe and record them immediately. However, the exact shape and form of these scars was not described,…
“…In Sickness and in Health” Pollux of Naucratis and Papyri
This article is based on the study of two arguably different sources concerning the words which describe sickness and health: (1) the clusters of these words as they were compiled by Pollux of Naucratis at the end of the second century A.D., and (2) the various phrases or terms attested in the everyday language of the Greek papyri coming from Egypt, dated to the entire Greco-Roman period (III B.C.-VIII A.D.). The study of this converging, so to s…
Ostraca and Postcards. Secrets in Private Letters Written on Ostraca from Egypt
The inclusion of a secret sign as a clue which enables the recipient of a private letter to identify the sender was one of the ways of authentication. This is easily understandable when the sign is written on a folded and sealed papyrus.

In addition, the inclusion itself doe…

'Search for it and bring it to me in Alexandria'
Reading Aristophanes Amid the Sands of Egypt
Only eleven of the comedies written by the famous Athenian play writer Aristophanes have survived from antiquity. Nevertheless, papyrus fragments unearthed from the sand of Egypt provide us with a unique way to develop a new understanding of Aristophanes and his reception
Accounts Concerning Work of Weavers
Edition with commentary of the back side of P.Mich. inv. 124, an account of charges for weaving. The main interest of this account lies in the word ἀντυπ( ), which is interpreted as a variant of ἐντύπη, a drawing on a papyrus sheet in a scale 1:1, which works as a sample for the reproduction of decorative motifs (“Wirkkartons”). This document raises another question regarding the understanding of the noun ὕφαντρον, which might be explained as cha…
The expressions “to annoy” as used in Alexandria and “to sit on a donkey”
P. Osl. Inv. 1460 (= SB VI, 9121) preserves a private letter sent by Heraklous to Pompeius. The expression 'to annoy me' seems to be an indication of the Alexandrian origin of the letter. New readings clarify details of the story
