Papyrus Oxyrhynchus 212

Papyrus Oxyrhynchus 212 (P. Oxy. 212 or P. Oxy. II 212) consists of three fragments of a comedy of Aristophanes, written in Greek. It was discovered in Oxyrhynchus. The manuscript was written on papyrus in the form of a roll. It is dated to the first or second century. Currently it is housed in the British Library (Department of Manuscripts, 782) in London.^[1]

The document was written by an unknown copyist. The measurements of the fragment are 219 by 116 mm. The text is written in a large round upright uncial hand. There is a tendency to separate words.^[2]

The hands of two correctors may be distinguished.^[3]

It was discovered by Grenfell and Hunt in 1897 in Oxyrhynchus, together with a large number of documents dated in the reigns of Vespasian, Domitian, and Trajan. The text was published by Grenfell and Hunt in 1899.^[2]
