Document Details : Title: A Hexameter Fragment in the Beinecke Library Author(s): DE KREIJ, Mark Journal: Bulletin of the American Society of Papyrologists Volume: 52 Date: 2015 Pages: 7-14 DOI: 10.2143/BASP.52.0.3203257 Abstract : A 3rd- or 4th-century papyrus fragment in the Yale Papyrus Collection, containing parts of seven hexameters written in a careful, if unadorned hand. The composition of unknown authorship and date mentions a song or singer, and possibly a mother lamenting her son, but its contents remain open to multiple interpretations. The frag- ment may have been part of a longer narrative or of a short epicedium for a child, perhaps like P.Heid. 1.188. |
