With the Commentaria et Lexica Graeca in Papyris reperta, a unique papyrological collection is being published. The otherwise scattered publications of pieces of ancient Greek commentary written on papyrus - i.e. the hypomnemata and notes on Greek authors, glossaries and lexica - are brought together in alphabetical order in this lexicon. In addition to the fragments the lexicon provides the user with details of their place and date of origin, current location and of all publications about them to date (see sample page overleaf). These are followed by commentaries taking into account all available material, written in the language of the respective commentator. This work has been compiled by more than 40 scholars from different European and non-European countries. One or two instalments of 250 to 300 pages each are to be published every two years. The entire work, which will amount to some 15 instalments, is divided into four main parts: I: Commentaria et lexica in auctores; Pars II: Commentaria in adespota; Pars III: Lexica; Pars IV: Concordantiae et Indices. Papyri not published yet are reproduced in the appendix. Not only papyrologists will find an immeasurable fund of source material here; the CLGP will be an essential source of information for every larger classical studies library because of the Greek authors it covers, from Aeschylus to Thucydides. To Fasc. 5.1 Euripides:Kathleen McNamee is the author of the entries "Euripides 1-17" and the "Scheda b", Elena Esposito is the author of the "Scheda a".

This volume of Papyri contains a selection of 25 pieces which were excavated in the village of Karanis in the north-eastern Fayum (Egypt) by American archaeologists between 1924 and 1926. Many of the texts published here come from the archive of a well known figure in the village life of Karanis in the 2nd century AD: Socrates, son of Sarapion, was a tax collector here for many years, serving the Roman Empire collecting taxes due in money and in kind. Besides his successful economic activities - Socrates certainly belonged to the upper stratum of society in Karanis - the tax collector was a lover of Greek literature; for sure, he did not venture into high philosophy and the like, but he read Homer, comedies, and tried to be up to date about mythology in plays. Half of the new texts published here are literary, mostly from Socrates' library; other texts were found in the immediate neighbourhood of where Socrates lived, such as a surgical treatise about remedies of shoulder dislocations, which perhaps belonged to a doctor. The other half of the papyrus texts in this volume are documents that can shed new light on the activities of the tax collector, or of other inhabitants of Karanis. Altogether they give us a vivid picture of village life in Graeco/Roman Egypt in the 2nd century AD.
