Abstract :
During one of their expeditions in the Fayoum at the turn of this century the Oxford scholars Grenfell, Hunt and Hogarth discovered a few hundred papyri — most of them in bad condition — at Ūmm el 'Atl, a small village in the northeast corner of the former Arsinoite nome. At first they thought little of their papyrological finds there, but in time the results proved to be very productive after all, both as to content and methodologically.
