W i t h the present volume the work of editing the collections of papyri in the Princeton Library is completed. It was performed by the editors with the help of M r .

T h i s volume contains classical texts № 108-115, official documents 116-140, private documents № 141-170 and descriptions № 171-191.
№ 116, 117, 118, 119, 120, 139, 184 are petitions. Among them № 119 (early 4th cent.) is remarkable because of the demand of the plaintiff that an estate be surrendered as a reward for delations as its proprietor never paid taxes. T h e defendant denied that the law allowed any such reward and asked that the plaintiff be impeached for calumnia (cf. how-ever C. H . Roberts, J.E.A. X X I X , 8 0 f f . ) . T h e document contributes also to our knowledge of the survey and declaration of land.

JOURNAL OF PAPYROLOGY
( 4 t h cent.' A . D . ) is an appointment of a policeman; the appointment is f o r one month of the first half-year. № 123 and 129 refer to census, № 125, 127, 130, 132, 140, 173 to taxes. № 124, 128, 137, 182, 193 are official reports resp. official correspondences. № 126 ( 150 A . D . ) indicates a college of t w o at Arsinoe d r a w n f r o m citizens of high standing in the community. T h e specialized ίζιτασταϊ ι'ώών appear here for the first time.
Among the private documents № 142 (23 A . D . ) is a loan, № 144 (early 3rd cent. A . D . ) an antichretic loan on houses where the right of habitatio is granted in place of interest. T h e papyrus shows that the άντίχρησκ, at least that on ίνόικησ« is considered as a real right. T h a t is proved by the fact that the papyrus determinates the antichretic loan of this kind as то όφάλΐΐν ίφ' ΐνοικήσιι and that the άντίχρησις is subject to παμάθισις in the βιβλιοθήκη ί-γκτησίων to the effect that the debtor is not permitted to alienate his apartments until he pays back the loan (cf. Taubenschlag, Law 2 2 0 ) . № 141 ( 2 3 A . D . ) is a Greek, № 143 ( 3 r d cent. A .

No. 1223 (131 A . D . ) and 1224 ( 1 5 6 / 7 A . D . ) registers of Ιφηβοι in Alexandria, are important for our understanding of άγραφος and ίγγραφος γάμος. T h e former papyrus points out (1. 10) : φάμινοι iromvm iavroU ττρότιpov μ(ν άγράφως, νυνιι S( καθ' όμολογίαν, the latter (1. 9 ) φάμινοι σννί'ι [ rat t ] -avroU аурафшч. (cf.

T h e testator imposes on the heiress the obligation to maintain her mother for lifetime. N o . 1263 (second cent. A . D . ) , a fragmentary testament, was already published by F.

N o . 1228 ( 1 8 8 A . D . ) is a sale of a half of a slave. T h e buyer is the co-proprietor of the other half and acts through a representative. T h e papyrus points out that the representative paid the price with the money of his mandator who according to a principle recognized by the Greek law, acquired title (cf. Taubenschlag, Law, p. 2 4 5 ) . I t is noteworthy that the p a r t of a slave was encumbered by an υποθήκη which the seller paid off. I t may be also mentioned that the slave was brought up by an ίπιλινθίρα evidently at the expense of both the co-proprietors. In P S I . 1254 ( 2 3 7 A . D . ) , an application for άνάκρισιτ of a Macedonian slave, a copy of the contract concerning the sale of the slave is enclosed. In this contract we read that M a r c u s Aurelius Didymos (1. 17) ιπρίατο (the slave) παρά Φλαβίον ΤΙρίίσκον πίστα και βίβαιωσα Αιμιλίου Εύτυχοΰΐ. ( O n fidejussor in Roman sales cf.
