H. DEMOTIC AND GREEK PAPYRI.
The following twenty papyri (Nos. XL VI-
LXVI), several of which are dated in the second
and first century b.c., were found together in
an earthen jar near Thebes. One of them is
written in Greek uncials and three others in
Demotic with Greek dockets : the remaining
sixteen are written in Demotic only. The
Demotic texts have not yet been examined, but
they will form the subject of another volume.
The Greek texts have been translated by
Mr. B. P. Grenfell, from which translations
the general character of the documents may
be gathered. They were no doubt preserved
as the title deeds of the property to which
they refer.
