P.Laur. Iv 169: Fragmentary Constitution Of Constantine?, James G. Keenan

Classical Studies: Faculty Publications and Other Works

The editor in introducing the text points out the interest of its consular dating (A.D. 326) and the difficulty of making much out of the first two lines. It appears that the fragment's third and fourth lines are being construed as the dating clause from an otherwise ordinary Arsinoite document (intro. with nn, to lines 3 and 4); but there are some oddities that suggest that this is not so, and, further, that there is more to the fragment than first meets the eye.
