school text (?), mythology

Contents:

ll. 1-4: list of Epigoni, similar to ps.-Apollod., Bibl. 3.7.2, and to Hyginus, Fab. 71;
ll. 4-12: list of female figures introduced by their common denomination, i.e. Moirai, Horai, Charites, Nymphs, Sirens, Gorgones, Titanides, Eumenides, Harpies and Hesperides; similar lists, though not as comprehensive, occur in Hesiod, ps.-Apollod., and Hyginus;
ll. 13-28: series of two-worded sentences of the "Seven Wise Man", similar to other collections preserved in inscriptions, papyri, ostraca and medieval manuscripts (cf. list of these in Huys).The whole papyrus, with its combination of mythical lists and moralistic sentences, offers a striking correspondence with Hyginus, Fab. 221.

Hand:

medium to fair-sized, informal, mixed round, upright, markedly bilinear, but somewhat irregular and wobbly, written with a thick pen, heavily decorated with serifs and roundels; the letters are well separated, slowly written and irregular in shape, which may point to a school context as suggested by Huys and VRS.
