Papyrus Oxyrhynchus 224

Papyrus Oxyrhynchus 224 (P. Oxy. 224 or P. Oxy. II 224) is a fragment of the Phoenissae (lines 1017-1043, 1064-1071), a tragedy of Euripides, written in Greek. It was discovered in Oxyrhynchus. The manuscript was written on papyrus in the form of a roll. It is dated to the third century. Currently it is housed in the British Library (Department of Manuscripts, 783) in London.[1]

Description

The document was written by an unknown copyist. The measurements of the fragment are 235 by 215 mm. The text is written in a large, heavy, formal uncial hand. The handwriting is similar to the biblical great uncials. There are stops and a few accents.[2]

It was discovered by Grenfell and Hunt in 1897 in Oxyrhynchus. The text was published by Grenfell and Hunt in 1899.[2]

gollark: Not necessarily. If we assume that there are some amount people of devoting some fixed amount of time hours a day to reading news, and right now it's 90% real/10% fake, and writing 5x more content would push it to 80%/20%, that would be bad.
gollark: Which won't necessarily go faster just because you can write a few times more.
gollark: People actually spreading your content, quite possibly?
gollark: I don't disagree. However, you can already *do that* and I don't think the main limitation to fake news is just how fast/cheaply you can generate text.
gollark: Unicorns are a strong enough claim to prompt further checking. Language models passed the point where the output would seem plausible to a human who wasn't concentrating ages ago.
