Document Details : Title: The Authorship of P.Cair.Zen. 3.59308 Author(s): EVANS, Trevor Journal: Bulletin of the American Society of Papyrologists Volume: 49 Date: 2012 Pages: 251-257 DOI: 10.2143/BASP.49.0.3206616 Abstract : The authorship of the Zenon Archive text P.Cair.Zen. 3.59308 has been a puzzle for scholars ever since its discovery almost a century ago. The papyrus is almost certainly a draft of a letter. It most likely originated from the eponymous Zenon himself, but the greeting formula has a confusing cast, at first sight apparently lacking the name of the author and presenting Zenon as a recipient. A supralinear addition to the same effect further complicates interpretation. This paper aims to resolve the problem through a reassessment of textual and contextual factors. |
