Zeno was a native of the Greek town of Kaunos in Caria in southwestern Asia Minor.
[3] Drimylus and Dionysius, two Greek employees under Zeno, were reported to him for selling women as sex-slaves.
[4] During the winter of 1914–1915, Egyptian peasants were digging near the modern settlement of Kom el-Kharaba for sebakh (decayed mudbricks that were often plundered from ancient sites as they could be used as fertiliser).
[6][7][8] The Zenon Archive has since been divided among several museum collections and academic institutions around the world, and papyri are now held in the collections of the University of Michigan, Columbia University, the Società Italiana per la Ricerca dei Papiri Greci e Latini in Egitto, the British Museum in London and the Egyptian Museum in Cairo.
[9] A substantial part of the Zenon Papyri are now online and grammatically tagged at the Perseus Project hosted at Tufts University.
