Papyrus Oxyrhynchus 7

It was discovered by Bernard Pyne Grenfell and Arthur Surridge Hunt in 1897, and published in 1898.

[3] It preserves part of a poem by the archaic Greek poet Sappho.

[a][3] When the papyrus was first published, Grenfell and Hunt wrote that "it is not very likely that we shall find another poem of Sappho".

In 1906, however, a major cache of literary fragments from the remains of two private libraries were discovered – the source of the majority of the Sappho fragments discovered at Oxyrhynchus.
