Papyrus Oxyrhynchus 220

II 220) is a treatise on prosody, written by an unknown author in Greek.

The verso side consists of Homeric scholia to the Iliad (Papyrus Oxyrhynchus 221).

The text on the recto side is written in a round well formed upright uncial hand.

Hence, dear friend, it will employ not only the regular ten syllables, but also a larger number.

[2] Grenfell and Hunt note that the Nicarchean metre is not known from any source other than this papyrus.
