It is not possible to determine with any degree of certainty when Grenfell and Hunt acquired these papyri, except that the sheets from the Oxford University Gazette in which they had been placed after being relaxed were dated from May 1907 to October 1908. It is possible they were acquired at the same time as the 36 Theophanes papyri in the main sequence at the John Rylands Library (acquired for Lord Crawford and Enriqueta Rylands in the late 1890s or early 1900s) and became separated from them soon after.<\/p>" } ], "@type": "sc:Manifest", "attribution": "Provided by The University of Manchester.
