Of late years (since 1877) immense numbers of Demotic,
Greek and Latin papyri have been discovered in the ruins of
Crocodilopolis (Arsinoe), and are now slowly finding their way
to the great Museums of Europe ; especially those of London,
Vienna, Paris, and Berlin. They are mostly business or legal
documents, contracts, leases, marriage settlements, accounts,
informations laid before magistrates, &c. There are also some
private letters like fig. 11. They are found in all states, some
of them neatly folded up and others in fragments. For a full
description of the site, see Schweinfurth and Wilcken in the
Zeitschrift fitr Erdkunde {Berlin), 1887, pp. 54-88; for a de-
scription of the papyri discovered, Maunde Thompson,
Palceograpliy, pp. 107-113.
