Abstract
Abstract Greek papyri dating between the 2nd and the 4th centuries AD bear testimony to treatises about hieroscopy, the study of animal entrails, especially the liver, for the purpose of divination. The present article is dedicated to the best preserved handbook on this divinatory technique, P.Ross. Georg. I 21, which provides detailed instructions on how to “read” the entrails. A new critical edition of the papyrus is presented with translation and commentary.
期刊介绍:
The Archiv für Papyrusforschung (APF) (Archive for Papyrus Research) – founded in 1901 by Ulrich Wilcken – is the oldest specialised papyrus studies journal in the world. Nowadays, the APF differs from other journals specializing in papyrus studies, on account of its papers (literary papyri, Christian texts, papers on documents, judicial articles, Coptic texts and documents, demotica, interpretations and resources).
