Annotations
From PSI online:
The papyrus comes from excavations conducted by E. Breccia at Behnesa (Kom Ali-el-Gammâm) in the spring of 1932. It was possibly part of the private library of the family of Sarapion, the so-called "Apollonian." We are dealing with four fragments belonging to two rolls by different hands. Within the text are sone additions and corrections by another hand.
The text was edited with a photograph, together with the fragments of PSI XI 1218, by G. Vitelli “Nuovi frammenti degli Αιτια di Callimaco,” in ASNP Ser. II, III, 1934, pp. 1-7.
