Thanks ever so much for your masterly
commentary on the mathematical papyrus.2 The
text is clearly very corrupt, but you clear up
nearly all the difficulties. Blass, though
without his books, has sported that our new
lyric piece3 is Pindar, from one of the extant
fragments which occurs in it. The are parts
of 2 odes, but much mutiliated. However it
will amuse the Germans.

Yours ever
B.P.G.

1. The last two lines of the address have been cancelled by another hand, the same hand who provided the forwarding address to Forcett Park.

2. Presumably P.Oxy. III 470.

3. P.Oxy. III 408.
