@mptheophilos We're obviously partial to material from the Fayum, but there is such an incredible abundance of untapped material from the Greek east to be studied

[Michael P. Theophilos @mptheophilos]

P.Tebt 2.278 is an early first century CE pair of acrostics, col. i, of trades; col ii. an emotive story about a lost garment. On the latter cf. Matt. 5:40

Happy faces (behind the masks) of students from #UCBerkeley MELC Department, looking at some of the CTP's highlights for their Hieratic class, with the one and only Prof @Ritaluc. Thanks for visiting @bancroftlibrary!

“I do not cease writing to you (…) and having you in my heart.”
So writes Aurelius Polion, a soldier away from home serving in Pannonia, to his brother, sister and mother. He is worried about their health, and is longing for their letters (P.Tebt. 583, 2nd/3rd c.).

Spooky scene in a police report from the 2nd c. BC (P.Tebt. III 730):
“When patrolling the fields near the village, I found an effusion of blood (but no body).”
Apparently, a man called Theodotos had set out in that direction and disappeared …
