Egypt Exploration Society Oxyrhynchus Papyri: Pt. 71
This volume adds - to previously published early Christian texts - four new papyri of the "Gospel of John" and also includes fragments of a lost play by Sophocles ("Epigonoi"), two prose works on Hellenistic historians and Hellenistic kings, a rhetorical exercise on speeches in Thucydides, and a lost novel with an Ionian setting. A further group of papyri of Iliad and related Homeric texts, include a paraphrase of "Iliad I" (its texts transmitted verbatim by at least two other papyri), scholia minora to "Iliad I", and commentaries on "Odyssey III and XV" with scholarly credentials. Documentary texts include declarations of livestock, loans, leases, and other contracts. Finally it records publication of a group of drawings that appeared outside the series but assigns Oxyrhynchus publication numbers to them for the first time. Images of the drawings were prepared for and will be published in the volume "Oxyrhynchus A City and its Texts" (GRM 93) and "Egyptian Archaeology 22".

Egypt Exploration Society The Oxyrhynchus Papyri vol. LXXXV
This volume contains the first editions of 55 Greek literary and documentary papyri. The theological texts include fragments of Genesis and Luke, both assignable to the third century. Pride of place among the new literary texts is given to a retelling of Egyptian mythology, in which Isis writes to Arianis, appealing for his help in locating the body of Osiris. Two others are philosophical (Peripatetic and Stoic). Among the extant classical texts, large fragments of Plato’s Laches offer readings of particular interest. A paraphrase of Justinian’s Digest shows a professor explaining the relationship between written law and custom in a mixture of Greek and Graeco-Latin. The documents include a group of ten private letters and an elaborate first-person account of a failed attempt to buy camels for the state.
