My dear Smyly,
I went to the Bodleian
with Mahaffy today . Here are the
results
(1) II. XV¹ (2) 13 πλινθολκιαν is right
'' XXVI (3) 8 I should read θρu[ο̣υ̣ ει̣ς̣[²
(4)³ 5 θρυ[ω]ν is certainly
right ; τιμην less so, there is scarcely
room properly; but τιμην can be
had if you want it.
(5)⁴ 6 τιμην καλαμ[.....
(6)⁵ 5 τιμην καλα[μο]υ.

xxix⁶ a 18 it is ρκϛ = ϲν, the
ϲ is clear.
xxix d 9⁷ either κδ or κε can be read
I slightly prefer ε.
Similarly (b)⁸ 8 it is impossible to
say whether it is α or λ
I xv 20⁹ ουσαν wont do. It
could be read as ουθπω, the
interesting letter is as you say
more like a θ than any thingn else
Possibly he began to write ουθεν
and altered it to ουπω. ρε is
the end of the line.
Oxyrhynchus is never called any thing

but ἡ Ὀζυρύγχων πόλις till
the 2nd cent when ἡ Ὀζυρυγχιτῶν
πόλις came in.
I know nothing of ανουχι.
I leave on Saturday & shall
hope to see your book on my
return in March. Our book
appeared yesterday . There are
some remarks on Revillout apropos¹⁰
of marriage, which may amuse
you.¹¹
I have had a very pleasant visit
from J.P.M. We hope to come to come
to Dublin next summer, if we

ever have any time. This
winter we are excavating again
in the Fayum¹² & shall have another
shy at those d-d mummy
cases.
