Author | Unknown |
Summary | A commentary on the Argonaut story or a treatise on literary criticism. Several episodes from that the story (none of which is found in Apollonius of Rhodes) are discussed, among them Heracles' rescue of Hesione (with a citation of Dionysius Scytobrachion, lines 5-8) and Aphrodite's intervention with Aietes (line 23? known from Naupactia). Although both Dionysius and Apollonius are mentioned by name, it seems unlikely that either is the main subject of the text. Lines 9-17 evidently contained an estimate of the arrangement (oikonomia) of a work (presumably on the Argonauts), but here too the prcise subject is unclear, and perhaps there is a comparison between two works. |

Inv. Id | P.Mich.inv. 1316 |
Support/Dimensions | 1 papyrus ; 12.7 x 24.8 cm |
Condition | The text is written on the verso of a roll (acroos the fibres) and is perhaps itself a palimpsest. Illegible traces of earlier writing survive to the right of ll. 30-34. It is badly smeared or faded in parts (and broken at line 19). |
Lines | 39 lines |
Recto/Verso | Source of description: Verso |
Hands | There are ample margins below and to the right: top margin 1.7 cm; bottom margin 7.6 cm; right margin 5.8 cm. The column may have formed the end of the work, but no title or other such mark is visible. Parsons suugests however that the traces of ink in the right margin may have contained the author's name, and the book number. The original width of the column cannot be preceisely estimated, but to judge from the contents, a substantial portion of the column is missing to the left; if the text was a hypomnema, the column could have been quite wide. The text is written in a small rounded informal hand, roughly bilinear (phi projects above and below, ypsilon and rho occasionally project below). There are occasionally ligatures. There are no lectional signs; iota adscript is written. Ther is no punctuation (a space in line 3 may indicate the beginning of a new sentence). A wedge-shaped line filler is used in lines 4 (?), 11 and 18. |
