Excerpt from The Oxyrhynchus Papyri, Vol. 15 Owing to the large compass of the Byzantine documents intended for this volume, it was found advisable to reserve them for a separate Part (xvi), which will probably be issued in the course of 1922 the present instalment therefore, like Parts XI andi XIII, Consists of literary texts alone. The more extensive of these, including 1787 - 90, 1792, 1788, 1800, 1805 - 6, 1808, 1810, belong mainly to the second large literary find of 1905-6; others proceed from the work of different seasons, and a few, of which the most important are 1786 and 1793, were acquired by purchase on' the site of Oxyrhynchus by Professor Grenfell during his visit to Egypt in the winter of 1919 - 20.
