And best of all is not to have been born, and not to behold the rays of the blazing sun (425–26).

@theo_nash Awesome. Looks like fun!

[Dr Theo Nash @theo_nash]

Turns out one does not need to make up elaborate stories about mummy masks to make new discoveries in papyrology: Iliad 23. 741-51 newly identified in the Michigan collection.

@theo_nash @MelissaKAFunke @thesaurosaur Any exciting news re: segmentation?

[C. M. Sampson @samosafuz]

@apistone This is amazing on so many fronts

[C. M. Sampson @samosafuz]

@apistone "Papyrus endures all kinds of impostures": 10/10, no notes

[C. M. Sampson @samosafuz]

@theo_nash Yup; all credit to Roberta for that revelation.

[C. M. Sampson @samosafuz]

It’s over! The last lecture of the tour was offered today to a joint audience from @uOttawa and @grs_carleton. Managed to catch up with old friends here in Ottawa and to meet some new ones, too. Home tomorrow, at last!

[C. M. Sampson @samosafuz]

I’m heading out of town today on a lecture tour of eastern Ontario and Quebec, sponsored by the @cac_scec. 5 days, 8 institutions, 1600+ km, discussing topics in (you guessed it!) papyrology.

[C. M. Sampson @samosafuz]

Today’s destination is Montreal, speaking to a joint audience of students and colleagues from @Concordia and @mcgillu. It was wet this morning in Montreal, and I wish I had better conditions for exploring.

[C. M. Sampson @samosafuz]

@sentantiq The Argonautica and the Aetia will protest what you’ve done with your remainder of 4, there.

[Stanford Press @stanfordpress]

Stolen Fragments is out now!

"Roberta Mazza's book is a revelation, and a romp: an entertaining and infuriating account of the illicit trade in papyri...Her diligence, bravery, and wit are all on full display." —@JoelBaden
