...sizes. Twelve of them were found at Oxyrhynchus, an Egyptian town, and the seven others came from various towns in the Fayum, a district west of the Nile valley. All of these fragments, with many more which have been found by the Egypt Exploration Fund, are described at some length in the publications of the Fund,--"The Oxyrhynchus Papyri," a work in two volumes by B.
