This paper deserves attention because of his new
interpreta-tion of BGU I, 140. The author remarks that in lines 19 — 20 the
terms φίλανθρωπότερον έρμηνεύων are a litteraly version of the terms
humanius (benignius) interpretari and confirms perfectly the
hu-manioT interpretatio of Marcus Aurelius in the text of Marcellus
(С 28,4, 3pr. and 50, 17,192,1).
A d o l f B e r g e r , Miscellanea papyrologica (Bull, dell' 1st. di
dir. rom. vol. X I V — X V N. S. = LV — LVI della collezione
„ P o s t - b e l l u m " , Milano 1951, p. 98 — 123).
The Miscellanea are a reprint of his former articles I P. Mich.
Inv. 4703 and dotis dictio in Roman Law (from The Journal of
Juri-stic Papyrology vol. I 1945 p. 13—40); II Άναλαμβάνεσθαι in the
Epistula Hadriani BGU I 140 (ibid. p. 40); III The Emperor
Justi-nians Ban upon commentaries to the Digest (from the Bulletin of the
Polish Institute of Arts and Sciences in America III New York,
1945 pp. 656 — 696).
J . F. G i l l i a m , Notes on PSI 1307 and 1308 (I cent. A. D.)
(Classical Philology vol. X L V I I №. 1 1952 p. 92).
PSI 1307 concerns assignments and activities of legionary
sol-diers and M i s s N o r s a quite rightly cites P. Gen. lat. I. The
Dura acta diurna ( G i l l i a m , Yale Classical Studies XI 1950 p.
209 — 52 cf. also P. Mich. 455) may also be compared. G i l l i a m
gives some interesting new readings. From this II 17 is most
inte-resting: excubuerunt ad aquilam et signa. The men in this entry
stood guard at the shrine, housing the legion's eagle and standards.
Its appearance here is evidence that it was a regular part of the
military religion in all periods of the Empire. PSI 1308 dates in the
middle of the second century A. D. and may be a list of sailors.
J . F. G i l l i a m , Michigan Papyri vol. VII (Reprint from
American Journal of Philology vol. X L V I I №. 1 p. 432 — 433).
In his review G i l l i a m p. 433 remarks that no other
cer-tificate of assumption of the toga pura than that in Mich. №. 493
is known. The fact however, that young Romans would then be
at the age when other youth in Egypt subject to the epicrisis
were being enrolled, suggests that their registration and the
cer-tificate were required when they came of age.
