Abstract

This is the first edition of a hitherto unpublished Greek literary papyrus, which is housed at the Austrian National Library and dates from the fifth or sixth century A.D. It preserves an unknown narrative prosaic text, which is either a low-quality copy of an unknown literary work or a clumsy autograph of a local author, full of misspellings. The main interest of the text lies in its puzzling content and vocabulary.
