Excerpt from The Tebtunis Papyri, Vol. 2 OF the large collection of papyri found by us in the winter of 1899 - 1900 at fimm el Baragat (the ancient Tebtunis), when we were excavating for the University of California with funds generously pro vided by Mrs. Phoebe A. Hearst, that portion which was obtained from the mummies of crocodiles dating from the second and first cen turies was published by us in collaboration with Prof. J. G. Smyly in 1902. The cartonnage from the Ptolemaic necropolis has now been nearly all unrolled and in part deciphered, chiefly by Prof. Smyly, who is again collaborating with us in Part III. The present volume deals with the papyri found in the houses of the town during the first month of the excavations: with the exception of a few Ptolemaic documents these texts belong to the first three centuries of the Christian era. The unrolling of them was performed during the course of the excavations and in the summer of 1900, while we were occupied with other work, these papyri were studied by Dr. E. J. Goodspeed, who deciphered part of those here edited and is associated with us in their publication to him we also owe the bulk of the indices. The decipherment of the rest of the texts was done by ourselves in 1904, and the volume was put into type in the winter of 1904 - 5; but we were unable to resume work upon it until the summer of 1906, when we largely extended and altered the commentary, and added the appendices.
