London Hellenica Oxyrhynchia

The London Hellenica Oxyrhynchia (TM 59482 ) contains twenty-one columns of the so-called Hellenica Oxyrhynchia, a historiographical text probably dealing with the period of 411 to 394 BC, like Xenophon's Hellenica (hence its name). The authorship of the work is disputed, with Theopompus and Cratippus being the most likely candidates, but in several ways diverges from Xenophon's account. The 2nd to 3rd century papyrus was excavated in 1906 by the British excavations in Oxyrhynchus, and is now in the British Library.
