History: After a donation by Friedrich Prym the collection was purchased by U. Wilcken through the Deutsches Papyruskartell in 1902-1914. The papyri were glazed by Hugo Ibscher in Berlin and only the first 127 were transferred to Würzburg until 1935. In March 1989 another group of 90 papyri was transferred from Berlin to Würzburg bearing inventory numbers 159-247. All existing editions were made before this date and all the 27 edited papyri are among the first 43 inventory numbers.
