Description

This papyrus contains portions of two columns of a text which mentions among other things a love affair, events connected with a spring, and devouring by beasts. The goddess Aphrodite is mentioned early in the fragment, and two names of mortal persons, Pamphilos and Eurydike, can be read with certainty. The greater part of what survives is apparently narrative in the third person, but instances of the first person and of direct adress occur.
