Metadata

Date: 1st - 2nd century AD: AD 1 - 199
cf. CdÉ 49 (1974), p. 311

Provenance: Soknopaiou Nesos (Dimeh) - Egypt (EgyptThe Egyptian nome ca. 3rd cent. BC - AegyptusThe Roman provincia ca. 2nd cent. AD) [found & written]

Language/script: Greek, drawing

Material: papyrus

Book form: roll

Content (beta!): school text, combination of mathematics (5 geometry problems) and literature (Homeric passages and 2 conversion problems)

Authors / works: Homerus, Ilias: 6.373-6.410This link will bring you to Perseus, where you can find an edition of this passage (although not of this text!). (direct attestation)

Culture & genre: literature, science — anthology?, poetry, epic, mathematics, geometry + philology, paraphrase (religion: classical)

Recto/Verso: Ro

Reuse type: complicated: palimpsest new, other text(s) on the same object: TM 90816

Reuse note: the original papyrus has been split in two single pieces - presumably for the latest reuse as school text (TM 60599). The cut runs straight through a Demotic column on the Vo. The present / visible Greek text on the Ro seems to be a palimpsest new, but nothing is visible of the palimpsest old. The original text on the Ro seems to be washed off later after the blank side of the Vo was reused by the Demotic text (TM 90816).

Note: school text; with drawings
