also known as Mertens-Pack 02190.000; Hellenica Oxyrhynchia [Florentine papyrus]

TM Gallery info The Hellenica Oxyrhynchia [Florentine papyrus] (TM 59482) contains six 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). however, this version diverges from Xenophon's account in several ways. The authorship of the work is disputed, with Theopompus and Kratippos being the most likely candidates. The late 2nd to early 3rd century papyrus was excavated in 1934 by the Italian mission led by Breccia and is now in the Istituto Papyrologico G. Vitelli in Florence.
