Redigert av Francesca Maltomini, Peter John Parsons, Herwig Maehler, 2015.Del av serien Corpus Papyrorum Raineri.
(G 40611)
This papyrus (3rd century BC) contains c. 200 incipits (first lines) of Greek epigrams with a numeral at the end of each line that gives the number of lines of the complete epigram; most of them had 4 lines. Of these, only one has been ascribed to a known poet (Asklepiades), but it is by no means clear that all of them were his. Their publication, greatly aided by multispectral photography, is a very welcome addition to Hellenistic poetry.
