PREFACE

Texts from the papyrus collection of Washington University have already appeared in Veme B. Schuman, Washington University Papyri 1: Non­Literary Texts (American Studies in Papyrology 17), Chico (Califomia) 1980. This new volume is intended as a continuation, and the texts appearing in it have been numbered accordingly, subsequent to Schuman's. We divided our texts at an early stage, and while we have consulted each other extensively since then, we retain chief responsibility each for the pieces we began with: Maresch for 69-72, 77, 78, 80, 83, 86, 88, 90-94, 101, 102, 104, 107, and 108; Packman for 62-68, 73-76, 79, 81, 82, 84, 85, 87, 89, 95-100, 103, 105, and 106.

The editors of P.Wash.Univ. II were brought together by Reinhold Merkelbach, to whom they are grateful for his continuing support and advice. Our thanks are due to the Deutsche Forschungsgemeinschaft, whose suppon enabled Maresch to visit St. Louis in 1988, and the American Council of Leamed Societies, whose fellowship brought Packman to Cologne in 1989-90. An ACLS grant in 1966 made possible the photographs on which has depended most of the work done on the collection since: Some of them appear in the plates of this volume.

We are gratefu1 to the Washington University Department of Classics, and especially to their chairman, Kevin Herbert, for permission to publish these pieces and for their encouragement and assistance. Jeffrey Rusten was very helpful to us in St. Louis, as were also the Special Collections division of Olin Library at Washington University, and especially their director, Holly Hall.

Merketbach read and commented on our whole manuscript. Dieter Hage­dom read and offered corrections and suggestions on the documentary texts, as did Michael Gronewald on literary pieces, and Robert W. Daniel and Maria Totti on magical texts. Daniel read and discussed our whole manuscript in fmal draft. Hagedom studied photographs of documents in P.Wash.Univ. I and contributed to our Iist of additions and corrections.

In addition to those named above, we are grateful for assistance at many points from many persons, among them Willy Clarysse, Susan G. Cole,

vi

Wemer Eck, Rudolf Kassel, Heinz-Josef Thissen, Helmut van Thiel, and Wolfram Weiser.

Both editors are grateful to the Duke University Department of Classics for the hospitality they enjoyed on separate occasions, and especially to

William H. Willis, John F. Oates, and Louise P. Smith.
