A New Fragment of P. Fouad inv. 267A: The PSI inv. 2006

Abstract

International audienceThis paper presents a new fragment of the astronomical papyrus P. Fouad inv. 267A, published by Jean-Luc Fournet and Anne Tihon, Conformément aux observations d'Hipparque: le Papyrus Fouad inv. 267A. Annex by Raymond Mercier (Publications de l'Institut Orientaliste de Louvain 67, 2014). This fragment preserved in Florence, PSI inv. 2006, appears to be a small piece of P. Fouad, and the astronomical contents on the verso fit exactly with the data of P. Fouad 267A
