The papyrus was bought together with several cursive documents from Eshmunen (Hermopolis), some of which are dated in the year 397 CE, and is not likely to be very far removed from them in date.<\/p>Like most of the papyri in the John Rylands Library, the precise provenance of this item is uncertain. The majority of the papyri catalogued in 1911 were acquired in Egypt, on the antiquities market and through excavation, by Arthur S. Hunt (1871-1934) and Bernard P. Grenfell (1869-1926). Grenfell and Hunt acquired the papyri in the late 1890s for James Ludovic Lindsay (b. 1847, d. 1913), 26th Earl of Crawford, and then after her purchase of Crawford\u2019s manuscript collection in 1901 for Enriqueta Augustina Rylands (1843-1908). Crawford had made some purchases of papyri on the antiquities market in Cairo in the 1890s, but these apparently included no literary papyri, so were probably not among those catalogued in 1911. As Hunt notes in the preface to the catalogue: \"Wherever the provenance seemed sufficiently assured this is specified; when no locality is named, it is to be inferred that satisfactory testimony was not forthcoming.\"." }, { "label": "Date of Acquisition", "value": "1908" } ], "@type": "sc:Manifest", "attribution": "Provided by The University of Manchester.
