His Bassarica is the earliest known poem on the conquest of India by the god Dionysus and was an important model of Nonnus' Dionysiaca. His Gigantias related the battle of the giants against the Olympian gods and legends surrounding it, with particular focus on the figure of Heracles. This is the most comprehensive edition to date of his poetry, expanding the number of fragments available and providing a more reliable text based on a fresh inspection of the papyri. The volume includes a substantial introduction contextualising the poetry, a facing English translation of the text, and a detailed linguistic and literary commentary. <www.cambridge.org/9781107178977>

It provides a critically compiled list of the papyrological attestations of each settlement and presents in summary form the information recoverable from the papyri about individual villages, such as their relative location, topographical features, religious institutions, and the officials, occupations and important landowners associated with them. This publication will be a useful resource to papyrologists studying and editing Oxyrhynchite documents as well as to scholars interested in the topography and rural society of Graeco-Roman Egypt.

The actuarius confirms the receipt of the recruit’s certificate of appointment to the unit (probatoria), which was issued by the dux Thebaidis, and accordingly undertakes to register him in the unit’s muster-roll (matrix). The only parallel to this type of document is P.Münch. I 2 (578). The papyrus also reveals the name of a new dux Thebaidis, Flavius Heracleius Dorotheus Hypsistius Andronicus Celer Zenodotus. He is identifiable with a wealthy honorary consul in the reign of Anastasius mentioned by John Lydus.

P.Oxy. 4942 col. ii.11 n. (p. 80): the reference to "recentiores" MSS of the scholia on Plato is misleading. The emendation of Σαδὺ ὕδωρ to Βαδὺ ὕδωρ is actually due to Hermann; see R. L. Fowler, Early Greek Mythography. Volume 2: Commentary (Oxford 2013) 280 n. 65. I was not able to consult at the time D.

pp. 181–3: on the date of CPR XXII 2 (643/4), see now the important discussion by F. Morelli, CPR XXX pp. 22ff. with n. 34, who suggests that the bishop Senuthes appearing there is different from my 'Senuthes II'. As a result, this text should probably be dismissed from my discussion of the chronology of the vicariate of Senuthes and Constantius on pp. 182–3. For recent support of my proposed chronology on the basis of other evidence, see P. Booth, 'Towards the Coptic Church: The Making of the Severan Episcopate', Millennium 14.1 (2017) 151–90, at 180–86.
