Egyptian Papyrus.- Oxyrhynchus (modern El-Bahnesa).- Letter of Commendation to Hermione, in Greek, manuscript on papyrus, single papyrus sheet, 176 x 92mm., with remains of a single column of 26 lines in literary script, loss of first few lines at top but three other margins visible, addressed horizontally on verso in larger script to Hermione, holes with loss of letters and three small pieces of tape, else generally good condition, mounted in glass and housed within modern cloth drop-back box with mounted label to upper cover, Egypt, [third century AD]. *** Oxyrhynchus (modern El-Bahnesa) was the capital of the 19th Nome and the third-largest city of Hellenistic Upper Egypt. This letter deferentially commends a person (presumably its bearer), into the care of a certain Hermione, evidently an influential inhabitant of the city. Excavated by Grenfell and Hunt, the letter was published by them in 'Oxyrhynchus Papyri XIV' (1920, p.184), as 'P.Oxy.XIV 1767' and recently republished online at Duke Databank of Documentary Papyri.Provenance: from the library of Ampleforth Abbey. Presented in the 1920s by the Egyptian Exploration Society, it was then sold as lot 12 in the sale, Western Manuscripts and Miniatures at Sotheby's, 7th December 2010.
