My dear Smyly,
By all means use
the double dates in the Tebtunis
cartonnáge. Call them Tebt. unpublished.
I have written to Bernard² to ask
him to change the date to the of my
lectures to the week following
the Fellowship exam³, if possible. I
am in his hands. I should be
delighted to stay for 6 days at

Dublin if I could spare the time,
but doubt if I can remain more than 3.
The Hibeh vol. has to
be out by December and it will
be a horrid rush to get it
finished — especially as the
papyri are very hard to read and
for various reasons we have not
yet made much progress. Besides
3 Homers⁴ all differing largely
from the received text there is a long

piece of Aristotle's treatise on
Rhetoric⁵ addressed to Alexander,
which seems to have a good many
variants but requires a lot of
cleaning before it can be deciphered
There will be after all some
double dates in the documents,
which we have hardly tackled yet
The calendar⁶ fits together tolerably
well and outght to be interesting.
I am sorry the Tebtunis cartonnage
is turning out so badly. It is
curious what bad luck we have had

in that line.
I have been entering some of the corrections
in my copy of PP.I & II and note
the following misprints in Part III
p. 53 no xxv = m.II. xxxvii (c)
p. 52. no. xxiv. Isnt συγγραφή
in (c) l. 11 not 10?
In xiv.21. supply τῆς Ἡρακλείδου
μερίδος with Ἀλαβανθίδος.
