University of Chicago Press, 1902. — 88 p.
The papyri that follow were transcribed during a visit to the Gizeh—now the
Cairo—Museum made in the last months of 1899. For permission to work upon
them I am indebted to the authorities of the museum, M. Maspero and Brugsch Bey.
Of the Greek papyri at Gizeh many had already been published, chiefly by Messrs.
Grenfell and Hunt, by whom the admirable Inventory of Greek Papyri in the Cairo
Museum has been prepared. My work on the papyri has been greatly lightened and
furthered by the use of this Inventory, particularly in dating the pieces, in which
I have uniformly followed it. My especial thanks are due its authors for jiermission
to use it in manuscript in advance of its publication, as well as for help on many
difficulties in these papyri.
