The Oxyrhynchus Papyri, Part 55

After Cυνδίκωι to the syndic, replacing Cυνεσίωι to Synesius, the traces on the same level can now be seen to suit Ὀξ[υρυγχίτου of the Oxyrhynchite. A point of ink low down on the right especially suits xi. Nothing more is needed, but there are still traces in line 12 to be explained. They are badly damaged feet of letters only, but they still look most like οξ[, although Dr Coles pointed out to me that if Ὀξυρυγχίτου had been written again in full, we would expect to see further traces of at least the rho. He suggests that the abbreviated form οξ[' may have been written because this would have fallen opposite the proper address on the other side of the flat spill into which the letter was folded and might have helped to identify it more easily at some stage of its journey.

To sum up: read 1-2 as:

Flavius Philagrius to the syndic
of the Oxyrhynchite, greetings,
and 11-12 as: To the syndic of the Oxyrhynchite
..[,
with the note: ‘in 12 οξ[ = Oxyrhynchite may have been written (R. A. Coles)’. (J. R. Rea.)

3144 1-2 n. The note is mistaken because PSI IX 1038 = P. Sakaon 6 of 28 July is five days later than 3144 and still makes use of the name of Maximinus Daia.

(I think τῶι δημ(οσίων) χρη(μάτων) τρ(απεζίτη) is consistent with the very faded remains: χρ[ and τρ[ seem fairly recognizable, τῶι δημυ(? ) acceptable in the context. J. R. Rea).
