Anonymous, Notes on competitions (1402)

This article offers a new interpretation of the papyrus P.Harris I 49, traditionally regarded as a simple list of Greek cities and festivals. Through a re-examination of the text and its archaeological context, it argues that the document is more plausibly understood as notes outlining an itinerary from Athens to Nemea associated with festival attendance. The study discusses the papyrus's transmission, palaeography, and historical implications, shedding new light on the practical recording of information concerning Greek religious competitions.
