N2 - The rent receipt, P.Cair.Masp. II 67135, was revised and re-edited by Gertrude Malz, Studi in onore diA. Calderini e R. Paribeni, II, pp. 351-52. The revision was based on parallel texts in P.Cair.Masp. III 67327 and PSI VIII 935 and facilitated by plate II at the back of P.Cair.Masp. II. Unfortunately, an important fragment of the papyrus as reproduced in the plate was positioned too high, see plate (a) below. It is of course possible visually to reposition the fragment when attempting to compare the text--as Malz did with good effect, and as I myself tried when proposing further revisions several years ago, BASP 20 (1983) 128 n. 6; but this is not an entirely satisfactory procedure. Recently, therefore, by way of experiment and by use of xeroxes, I excised the offending fragment (at the middle right of the papyrus) and repositioned it. I also moved the detached fragment at the lower right leftward, closer, so that it now virtually abuts the main fragment, see plate (b) below. Clearly, this procedure and its results can lay no claim to infallibility, only to improvement over the original, Nevertheless, it suggested an opportunity to republish the document one more time, not so much because significant new gains have been again achieved, but rather to combine the Malz and BASP revisions into a more readily usable format. Printed here first is a diplomatic transcript, then a restored transcript with commentary and translation.
