MINNEN, PETER VAN, The Greek and Latin Literary Texts from Hermopolis , Greek, Roman and Byzantine Studies, 34:2 (1993:Summer) p.151 The Greek and Latin Literary Texts from Hermopolis Peter van At innen and Klaas A. Warp H ERWIG MAEHLER'S INTRODUCTION to P. Turner 9, a fourth-century book catalogue from Hermopolis, contends that the literary culture in Roman Her­ mopolis was no less vigorous than in contemporary Oxy­ rhynchus, another major nome capital in Middle Egypt. 1 In the present article we try to provide an exhaustive list of Greek literary papyri found at Hermopolis to make a more rigorous comparison between the two towns possible. Our conclusion is that Maehler's contention can be neither supported nor rejected. The main reason is that the evidence from Oxy­ rhynchus differs from that from Hermopolis not only quan­ titatively, but also qualitatively. Let us explain this point first. During the excavations of the Egypt Exploration Fund at Oxy­ rhynchus B. P. Grenfell and A. S. Hunt recovered the more than a thousand literary papyri that have been published so far in P.Oxy. Still more await publication. After the British abandoned the site, the Societa Italiana per la Ricerca dei Papiri Greci e Latini in Egitto moved in and recovered the several hundred more literary papyri that have been published so far in PSI. Thanks to these two serial publications, it is relatively easy to get an overview of the literary texts from Oxyrhynchus and to make comparisons with the documentary texts from the same site. Literary texts make up about a third of all papyri from Oxyrhynchus published so far. The ongoing publication of documentary texts may change the ratio eventually to, say, one sixth. That would still be an impressive figure. The material 1 "Nun ist die Fiille literarischer Papyrusfunde aus Oxyrhynchos ein beson­ derer GIiickszufalJ, der Ieicht den Eindruck entstehen lassen kann, ais ware diese Stadt in der Kaiserzeit ganz ungewohnlich literaturbeflissen und mit weitaus reichhaltigeren Bibliotheken als vergleichbare Stadte gesegnet ge­ wesen, aus denen uns nicht so viele bedeutende Funde erhalten sind." Because more than one successful excavation took place at Oxrhynchus, it is hard to believe in mere chance. 151 MINNEN, PETER VAN, The Greek and Latin Literary Texts from Hermopolis , Greek, Roman and Byzantine Studies, 34:2 (1993:Summer) p.151 152 GREEK AND LA TIN TEXTS FROM HERMOPOLIS from Oxyrhynchus has been subjected to intense scholarly research, first in a series of articles by E. G. Turner2 and most recently in a monograph by J. Kruger.3 The latter also helpfully includes the dispersed publications of literary texts from Oxyrhynchus. The situation for Hermopolis is entirely different. There the most successful excavations were conducted by O. Ruben­ sohn, who apparently did not think much of the "koptischer Dreck" he found. 4 Although many of the literary papyri found during these excavations were published in the serial publica­ tion BKT, the editors sometimes limited themselves to the in­ dication "aus Ausgrabungen," which made it difficult for us to include these texts in our survey.5 The rest is chaos: the publica­ tions of literary papyri from Hermopolis are dispersed over scores of articles and studies, which had to be assembled first. This we have done as best we could with a view to comparing our timid results with those of Turner and Kruger. We have considered expanding our research to include the literary papyri from other such sites as Antinoopolis, Arsinoe, and Heracleopolis, but the numbers for these cities fall far short of those for Hermopolis, let alone Oxyrhynchus. They would not be statistically significant. An important implication for comparing Oxyrhynchus and Hermopolis can be drawn from what we have said so far. Although the provenance of the majority of the literary texts from Oxyrhynchus is established with a high degree of proba­ bility, this is less likely to be true of most literary papyri from Hermopolis. We are therefore comparing a substantial body of material from Oxyrhynchus with only a selection of material from Hermopolis. Where the statistical basis for comparison is already rather thin, one cannot really afford to lose a single text. 2 E. G.

Studien zur Topographie und Literaturrezeption (Frankfurt a.M. 1990: hereafter 'Kruger') 144-266. 4 On these excavations see the introduction to B G U XII xiv-xix. 5 Thanks to the courtesy of Dr G. Poethke, curator of the Berlin papyrus collection, we were able to include seven papyri in our list (nos. 11-12, 50, 69, 82, 120, 155) of which the provenance was not previously established. MINNEN, PETER VAN, The Greek and Latin Literary Texts from Hermopolis , Greek, Roman and Byzantine Studies, 34:2 (1993:Summer) p.151 PETER VAN MINNEN AND KLAAS A. WORP 153 Moreover, the selection of the material from Hermopolis was not made at random. More recent editors of literary texts tend to be meticulous about their provenance. Earlier editors were more concerned to publish texts with the greatest historical and literary interest. Many of these 'best texts' from Hermopolis now have no provenance, whereas those from Oxyrhynchus do, thanks mainly to Grenfell and Hunt and the Italians. The chaos is aggravated by the dispersal of many literary papyri among scores of different collections all over the world. Apart from Berlin, where the bulk of the Hermopolite material is located, collections in Cairo, Chicago, Florence, Geneva, Giessen, Greifswald, London, Manchester, Milan, Munich, New York, Oxford, Vienna, Wiirzburg, and elsewhere also hold one or more of the pieces listed below. In some cases the entries in our list are the result of a successful join of fragments found in different collections. With so few published photographs to help the scholar, such joins, against all odds as it were, are in themselves remarkable enough. It should be possible to pursue this further in a more rigorous fashion. It also seems within the reach of scholars with access to the rich material in Berlin to detect the same scribes at work in different texts, along the lines of Turner's studies on the Oxyrhynchite scribes. The discrepancy between our database of literary texts from Oxyrhynchus and that from Hermopolis is even more telling when we consider the quantity of the texts involved. Kriiger counts 1,435 classical texts from Oxyrhynchus (1,612 if strictly Christian literature is included).6 We have assembled 167 classical texts from Hermopolis (217 if Christian material is added). For classical texts the ratio between Oxyrhynchus and Hermopolis is thus almost 9: 1. We arrive at a slightly different ratio, 7.5:1, if we include Christian literature. This is partly due to another important difference between the database for Oxyrhynchus and that for Hermopolis: literary papyri from Hermopolis tend to be from a later period, when strictly Christian texts are more common. We shall have occasion to demonstrate this point in what follows. Here it suffices to warn the reader against drawing the wrong conclusion from the number of Christian texts involved. In Hermopolis the Christian texts make up almost 25% of all literary texts as against only slightly more than 10% in Oxyrhynchus. But this does not 6 Kruger 150 with table 3, 149 with n.16. MINNEN, PETER VAN, The Greek and Latin Literary Texts from Hermopolis , Greek, Roman and Byzantine Studies, 34:2 (1993:Summer) p.151 154 GREEK AND LATIN TEXTS FROM HERMOPOLIS mean that the literary culture of Hermopolis was more thoroughly Christianized than at Oxyrhynchus. In fact, for what they are worth, the statistics suggest the opposite, as we shall see.7 A comparison between the number of literary texts from Hermopolis and the number of documentary texts found there is much more difficult than for Oxyrhynchus, where, as we have already indicated, a third of all papyri so far published are literary. It is estimated that a Hermopolite provenance can be demonstrated for over 3,000 texts. Not all of these were necessarily found in Hermopolis itself. In fact, only a minority of the texts are strictly comparable to those from Oxy­ rhynchus, where the majority of texts have been brought to light by controlled excavations. Most texts with a Hermopolite provenance were found haphazardly by villagers and looters and were acquired by the major European papyus collections through antiquities dealers, who are as a rule very reluctant to give exact information about the provenance of their merchan­ dise. On internal grounds, about 1,500-2,000 texts can be directly related to Hermopolis. If we take the higher figure of 3,000 to include texts relating to the Hermopolite nome-this seems reasonable enough in view of the fact that for some of the literary texts a provenance in the Hermopolite nome other than Hermopolis itself has been claimed-literary texts make up only about 5.5% of all published papyri from both the nome and the city. Literary texts from Hermopolis are currently under-represented in the published texts with known provenance, as we have seen above in our discussion of the Berlin papyri; but even with increased publication and establishment of provenance, it is difficult to see how this low percentage of literary texts could ever equal the high Oxy­ rhynchite percentage-currently a third of all published papyri from Oxyrhynchus are literary-especially since the publica­ tion of documentary texts from Hermopolis seems to go on unabatedly. 7 See 182f infra.

WORP 155 I The lists we provide in this article should be helpful in assessing the extent of Greek culture in general in the Nile valley during the period of Greek and Roman rule. They do not exhaust the subject, however: for Hermopolis we would also have to include the papyrological and epigraphical evidence for Greek athletics,8 the Greek art works among the archaeological objects found mainly during the later German excavations conducted by G. Roeder, and the metrical inscriptions from the necropolis at Tuna cl-Gebel. 9 Even within the limitation of literary papyri, we would also have to include an assessment of the popularity of certain authors and genres, not merely demonstrating their numerical superiority over other authors and genres,10 but also suggesting why they are so popular. Scholars of Greek literature at the end of the twentieth century are moving away from the exclusive study of canonical authors to an interest in well-known and generally later works as well. Greek literary papyri present just the kind of broad spectrum of literary texts of all sorts that seems to fit such current approaches to literature in general, such as Feminism and the New Historicism. Against the backdrop of the documentary papyri from towns such as Oxyrhynchus and Hermopolis it should be possible to formu­ late some ideas about who read what and how. We strongly feel our own limitations in this field, and we do not know whether the evidence will ever allow a truly historical study of this type, which would trace developments over time as well. To do that we would have to split the evidence up into several periods. In that case, it cannot be meaningful to limit ourselves to Her­ mopolis with only 167 texts. Literary texts that are demonstra- 8 See most recently M.

To the book catalogue mentioned in the opening of our paper-the only one to come from Hermopolis and included in our list as no. 143-one could add many morelJ from various periods to help establish what kinds of literature were available in Greco-Roman Egypt at any given time. Like letters about books 14 they often mention texts not currently found among literary papyri from Egypt. II The following list of Greek and Latin literary texts from Her­ mopolis needs some explanation as to what it does and does not include. In general we have followed the categories established by R. A. Pack in his catalogue of literary texts from Egypt, as well as the order he established for these categories.1s Like him we include texts written on papyrus as well as other material of daily use dating from the early Ptolemaic period until the time when the use of Greek ceases in Egypt. This procedure also implies that we only include texts in Greek and Latin and ex­ clude Demotic and Coptic texts. The latter are quite well repre­ sented in Hermopolis, and even the former are not wholly absent. 16 But the Coptic literature from Hermopolis is strictly 11 See briefly W. Clarysse, "Literary Papyri in Documentary 'Archives'," in E. Van 't Dack et al., edd., Egypt and the Hellenistic World (Leuven 1983) 43-61; R. S.

H An example from Hermopolis (S B XII 11084) mentions an otherwise unknown commentary on Demosthenes and Menander's Art of Rhetoric. 15 R. A. PACK, The Greek and Latin Literary Texts from Greco-Roman Egypt2 (Ann Arbor 1965: hereafter 'Pack'). A new edition is being prepared at Liege. 16 Cf the legal manual found in Tuna el-Gebel and dating from the Ptole­ maic period: G. Mattha and G. R. Hughes, The Demotic Legal Code from Hermopolis West (Cairo 1975). MINNEN, PETER VAN, The Greek and Latin Literary Texts from Hermopolis , Greek, Roman and Byzantine Studies, 34:2 (1993:Summer) p.151 PETER VAN MINNEN AND KLAAS A. WORP 157 Christian, and it seems justiflable to exclude it here. 17 (We have therefore decided to exclude all Greek literary texts that are strictly Christian from our list as well, although we give some indications about them at the very end of our paper.) With some hesitation, we have included one magical text on a lead tablet (no. 134) because it contains two sections of verse. This seems to accord with Pack's policy of including the hymns found in the magical handbooks. We have seriously considered including other magical texts as well, in view of the new approaches to, and the broader definition of, literature indicated above. Including them, however, would have made a com­ parison of our list with that of Kruger for Oxyrhynchus more difficult. (A new edition of Pack should, in our opinion, consider including at least the magical handbooks and the 'recipes'.) Within the limits defined by Pack we have included in our list all the texts that come or probably come from Hermopolis, as well as those texts for which a (likely) provenance in the Hermopolite nome rather than Hermopolis itself is indicated in the literature. See especially our nos. 2, 42, 73, 77, 147 (all from Tuna el-Gebel to the west of Hermopolis); 14-16, 24 (from Meir, a village in the southern part of the nome); 48, 72, 105 (from Ma'abdeh, a village in the extreme south of the nome); 86, 135 (from Deirut, a village to the south of Hermopolis); and 108 (bought in Mellawi, the nineteenth-century capital of Minya province, where ancient Hermopolis was located). Some extremely important texts are credited with such a provenance: Aristotle's Constitution of the Athenians and the victory odes and dithyrambs of Bacchylides both come from Meir. It is not impossible that the famous pharaonic rock tombs at Meir might yield papyri from the Greco-Roman period, but the uncertain­ ty surrounding the acquisiton of these papyri-E. A. W. Budge claimed credit for acquiring them for the British Museum­ inspires us with little confidence. The Constitution of the Athe­ nians is written on the back of the accounts of an estate manager from Hermopolis, where the text was no doubt copied. 1s The two texts from Deirut are said to have come from the same 17 J. VAN HAELST, Catalogue des papyrus litteraires juifs et chretiens (Paris 1976: hereafter 'Van Haelst'), does not include Coptic texts unless they happen to be bilingual. 18 See M. Manfredi, "L' Athenaion politeia di Aristotele e i papiri," in Pro­ ceedings (supra n.8) I 447-60. MINNEN, PETER VAN, The Greek and Latin Literary Texts from Hermopolis , Greek, Roman and Byzantine Studies, 34:2 (1993:Summer) p.151 158 GREEK AND LATIN TEXTS FROM HERMOPOLIS tomb. The texts from Ma'abdeh were reportedly recovered from the same «crocodile pit." 19 Mellawi is an unlikely place to yield papyri, and the above mentioned text was merely ac­ quired there. It may have come from Hermopolis, but we can­ not exclude another provenance. The texts from Tuna el-Gebel, on the other hand, come from controlled excavations. Since the excavations took place in the necropolis rather than in the ancient village of Thynis, we may safely attribute the papyri found there also to Hermopolis. The necropolis at Tuna cl­ Gebel served the nome capital, which was located in the middle of the alluvial plain and did not have a necropolis nearby. The majority of the dead buried at Tuna el-Gebel came from Hermopolis, as did the papyri buried with them. Ninety-five papyri in our list appear in Pack; the provenance of some of these has only recently been established, sometimes on the basis of joins with other texts of known provenance. In addition, since the appearance of Pack, seventy-two new literary papyri from Hermopolis have been published, an in­ crease of more than 75% in twenty-five years. In the near future we can expect a further increase, mainly from the unpublished holdings in Berlin. It is comforting to know that the statistical observations we make today, however shaky they may be, can be subjected to revision later on in light of more and better evidence. In the process of compiling our list we have corrected Pack wherever necessary. Thus, e.g., Pack 1748 (our no. 116) was thought to come from Apollinopolis Heptakomias; but because it is part of the archive of the well-known strategus Apol­ lonius-whose hometown was Hermopolis, where the archive was acquired and presumably found 2°-we have included the text in our list. We have not added any supplementary bibli­ ography to Pack where this seemed unnecessary. The proper place for that is the forthcoming revision of Pack. References to the new texts that have appeared after the second edition of Pack are restricted to a minimum, for which we ask the reader's indulgence. Fuller information will undoubtedly be available whenever the revision of Pack eventually appears. Readers of our statistical observations following the list should keep in mind that some texts are written on the back of other 19 See A. Wouters, The Grammatical Papyri from Graeco-Roman Egypt (Brussels 1979) 61 for some doubt. 20 See briefly the introduction to P. Giss.

WaRP 159 texts, such as nos. 23 and 146, 25 and 46, and 115 and 123, or simply on the same side with other texts, such as nos. 15, 16 and 24, and 48 and 105, or in the same codex such as nos. 117 and 126. We have numbered all these texts separately as if they were individual texts and also counted them separately in making our statistical observations. Some texts are written on the back of documentary texts such as nos. 2, 7, 14-16, 43, 124,21 133, 144, 148-51, and 155.
