The Oxyrhynchus Papyri, Part 15

NOTE ON THE METHOD OF PUBLICATION AND LIST OF ABBREVIATIONS

THE general method followed in this volume is the same as in preceding Parts. 1787-90 and 1792-4 are printed in dual form, a literal transcript being accompanied by a reconstruction in modern style. In the remaining texts the originals are reproduced except for separation of words, capital initials in proper names, some expansions of abbreviations, and supplements of lacunae gaps/missing portions. Additions or corrections by the hand of the body of the text are in small thin type, those by a different hand in thick type. Square brackets [ ] indicate a lacuna, round brackets ( ) the resolution of a symbol or abbreviation, angular brackets < > a departure from the text of the original, braces { } a superfluous letter or letters, double square brackets [[ ]] a deletion in the original. Dots within brackets represent the approximate number of letters lost or deleted; dots outside brackets indicate mutilated or otherwise illegible letters. Letters with dots underneath them are to be regarded as doubtful. Heavy Arabic numerals refer to the texts of the Oxyrhynchus Papyri in this volume and Parts I-XIV; ordinary numerals to lines, small Roman numerals to columns. The terms recto front side and verso back side when used of vellum fragments refer to the upper and under sides of the leaf, where these are determinable.
