been universally acknowledged. When, however, unfortunate cir-cumstances allied to a striving for absolute perfection appeared likely to postpone indefinitely the publication of the second part, he generously agreed to hand over his copies, and with equal magna-nimity Miss P r é a u x agreed to take over the task of publication. She has reexamined the originals (often in much less legible condi-tion than they were thirty years ago), constantly tested and revie-wed Τ ai t ' s results, and set them in the context of her own pro-found knowledge of Greco-Roman Egypt. In this bilingual publi-cation, in which Τ a i t ' s notes are in English and Miss P r é a u x ' s in French, the reader will judge for himself how well her scho-larship matches his, and how fortunate the Egypt Exploration So-ciety has been to secure her co-operation.
Professor J. B i n g e n and M. Martin W i t t e k have undertaken the long task of preparing the indices not only for this part but also Part I. They will form a separate publication which will not be long delayed. The publication, contains texts from the Roman and Byzantine periods: receipts, orders, accounts, lists, memo-randa, private letters, private documents and private contracts. Among them these texts will be remarkable for a jurist: No. 1978 (15—26 A.D.) a loan of wheat; No. 1974 (10 B.C.) probably a man-date; No. 1972 (17 ? B.C.) also a mandate of characteristic contents: Δος το ένέχυρον Πικώς μ,όριον; Nos. 1988—90 (I—II, II and III cent. A.D.) permissions from an ίστωνάρχης, like W.O. 1154-1156; O. Wilb. Brooklyn 75 (cf. С. P r é a u x , Les ostraca grecs de la collec-tion Charles Edwin Wilbour au Musée de Brooklyn 103 ff.).
