A FRAGMENT OF SAPIENTIA SALOMONIS FROM OXYRHYNCHUS *) BY I. A. SPARKS Claremont, Calif., U.S.A. The harvest of papyrus and parchment from Oxyrhynchus has yielded numerous biblical and theological texts, but this is the first of Sapientia Salomoni.r (P. Oxy. Inv. [8] 1B. 199/K(3)). Now measuring 8.7 X 8.6 cm., the fragment preserves the bottom outside corner of a leaf from a vellum codex, and contains portions of 4, 17-19 and 4, 19-5, 1. Judging from the extent of text missing between recto and verso, the original page contained seventeen lines, with a single column of text approximating 9.0 X 7.0 cm.1).
