25 
Pap. CXXIV. 
\Ve have the last part of a magic roll folded up in ever 
decreasing folds towards the end. If we judge the breadth of 
the columns from the last one existing, there may have been 
lost about 20—25 letters of the first column now remaining.

This papyrus, edited by Kenyon in the Catalogue p. 123 sqq. 
and known as “The old Maid of-Apollonius of Tyana”, is written 
in rather a coarse hand. It presents several lacunas and obscure 
parts, where I do not always agree with the editor. 
V. 4 TpioSoo for TpLoBov. V. 5 I read and supply in this 
way: 7:[p]6c T[(p ajoj (xpiGTzpo) ttoSI. ''kzyz [tov a6(yov)'] Aøyoc'
