Where
additions or corrections are distinguished by t3'pes differing from that of the main text, those by the same hand as the body of the text are in small thin type, those by a different hand in thick type. Iota rise to
any

Schone, i. 168-70) in years 1-4 of her reign she was associated with Ptolemy XIV, and in years 5-8 with Ptolemy XV, these corresponding to his years 1-4, while during the 8th-i5th years she reigned alone, and her i6th-2 2nd years That Porphyry was wrong in corresponded to years 1-7 (of Antony?; cf 1453. 22, n.). assigning a double reckoning by regnal years to the period of association with Ptolemy had already been inferred from the existence of a coin dated (eVovj) q KKfOTrdrpas finaikiaar^s

by regnal years during the period of his association with Cleopatra, but indicates that the death of the king was not known at Oxyrhynchus on July 26, b. c. 44. Concerning the precise date and circumstances of that event there has hitherto been no clear evidence. Josephus {Aiit. Jiid. xv. 4. i) states that Ptolemy XV was poisoned at the age of 15 by Cleopatra, and Porphyry /. c. attributes his death rm^ KXeoTrarpa? aixinaii in his 4th and her 8th year, i. e. b. c. 45-44. Mahafify (^Empire of the Ptol. 463) and Bouche-Leclercq {Hisi. des Lagides, ii. 227) suppose that he perished at Rome in the confusion attending the assassination of Caesar on March 15, 44, especially as Cicero {Ad All. xiv. 8) on April 15 refers to the flight of Cleopatra, and on May 11 {Ad All. xiv. 20) mentions the queen and her son Caesar, but says nothing in either place about her brother. Dio, who mentions the presence of Ptolemy XV with Cleopatra at Rome (xliii. 27), seems to imply (xlviii. 24 Tovi d8eX(})ovs avTi]s dno tov fV 'E^ecrw 'Aprifjua-iov unofrirdaas dntKrave) that hc was put tO death with Arsinoe by Antony, i.e. in b. c. 41; but according to Appian, Bc/l. civ. v. 9, the Ptolemy who was put to death with Arsinoe claimed to be Ptolemy XIV, having escaped That Ptolemy XV returned to Egypt with Cleopatra was supfrom drowning in the Nile. posed by Stahr {Cleopolra 56), but without any evidence, as is remarked by Bouch^-Leclercq, I.e. Since Cleopatra left Rome not more than two or three weeks after March 15, 44, she presumably reached Egypt some weeks before July 26, and if Ptolemy XV died at Rome before his sister's departure, the news would on the whole be expected to have reached
Oxyrhynchus by the date of 1629, although in the Roman period instances occur of papyri dated by an emperor who had been dead for as many as five months cf. Hohmann, Chronol. d. Papyrusurk. 50 sqq. are therefore disposed to date the death of Ptolemy later than March 44, and to place it in Egypt rather than Rome, though allowance has to be made for the circumstance that the figure (27) of the month in 1. 3 is a later insertion, ;

Lease of Land at an increased Rent. l8xi8-8cm.

Of this novel application from a certain Heron for a lease of land, at a higher rent than that previously offered by himself and others, the upper portion is lost besides the beginnings of lines, and it does not appear to whom the document was addressed. The mention of various bids {alpiadis 1. 8, tenour of most of the application, which resembles a petition :

suggest that the land in question belonged to the government but the contrary view that it belonged to a private individual is strongly indicated, first by the concluding words ^7 l-nihoxi] Kvpia, which occur in private contracts (e. g. 1631. 33), ;

followed by e-mbedioKa, jiecondly by the apparent reference in I. ] to Claudia Isidora as the existing owner of the land (1. 2, n.). Probably therefore the application was made to her representative, who may have been an kiriTpo-nos If 11. 2-4 are restored on the {c{. 1. 3, n.) or oLKovoiJLos (cf. P. Ryl. 171. 1).

Heron had sub-leased Claudia
right lines,
From
Isidora's land situated in the (Small)
4 onwards the narrative becomes clear. Heron had begun the sowing for the current year when two individuals whom he was employing in connexion with the agriculture offered to pay 200 drachmae a year more as rent. Heron made no objection to surrendering his lease to them, provided that he recovered the expenses which he had already incurred. To assert his claim he brought an action before thestrategus, and after a KoyodetJia (1. 12, n.) was awarded 3 talents 400 drachmae. This sum, however, his opponents failed to pay, and in order to bring matters to a head Heron by the present application offered 1,552 drachmae a year more than they, making the whole rent i talent 3,000 (?) drachmae. This bid was accepted by the representative of the land-owner, the intermediate lessees being apparently ignored, just as they seem to be in the negotiations between v-ofjita-OMTai of ovcnuKT] yi] and government officials in B. G. U. Oasis from two of her lessees.

As Rostowzew, who
has discussed the Berlin papyrus in GescJi. d. sqq., remarks, the management of Claudia Isidora's estates, which probably constituted a large private oi/m'a like that of M. Antonius Pallas in P. Brit. Mus. 1233, ^"d perhaps that of Claudia Athenais in P. Strassb. 78, 1047 (131).

The provision of a surety (11. 18-19) i^ ^" unusual feature in a lease of private land in the Roman period, but is known from P. land. 30 to have existed in connexion with the leasing of yi] hrjixoa-ia.

18. d[y]J)yt/xoi the connexion between the occurrence of this clause and Persians of the epigone (1. i) is once more illustrated (cf. 1471. int.) ; but 1639 is noteworthy for not being a a-vyxuyprja-is, like the other contracts in which the clause occurs. :

This conclusion of a contract
(x(ip6ypa(f)ov) for a loan of wheat is chiefly on of a new measure called Trpos kKaron-Tas account of the mention interesting beKa and apparently identical with the ijArpov T^rpa^oiviKov (11. 4-5, n.). Other
Oxyrhynchus loans of corn in the Roman period are 988 recto (334) and 1040 (225) and like them and 1711 (a late third-century loan of money), &c., 1640 was written in duplicate in parallel columns. We omit Col. i, of which only ;
the ends of lines are preserved.
