Abstract :
This article consists of three sections. The first contains three new and one partly unpublished Iliad fragments. The second notes some new readings or features of Iliad papyri from the University of Michigan collection and an Odyssey papyrus from the Cornell collection that were recovered after restorations for the APIS project. The third section consists of republications of texts edited in N.E. Priest's dissertation (Iliad papyri from the Cornell collection and Odyssey papyri from Michigan) as well as new readings or details different from those given in her editio princeps. This section contains only summaries of Priest's discussion of the individual papyri. For details readers should consult her ed.pr. The article concludes with two Appendices: App. I contains the full text of a previously described papyrus (Iliad) and App. II is a concordance of all the published Homeric papyri from Michigan and Cornell. The Afterthought discusses some basic statistics on the use of accentuation, breathings, and punctuation in Homeric papyri, which derive from the Michigan and central APIS database. Images of all papyri are available on the APIS website.
