Some thoughts on the Eusyene fragment (P.Oxy. LXXXIII 5356)
Abstract
The new narrative fragment entitled Eusyene (P.Oxy. LXXXIII 5356) features a named heroine and contains indications of a novelistic plot, but it is too brief and broken to allow more than a faint glimpse into the work to which it belongs. The present paper proposes a number of textual improvements and contributes to the contextualisation of the Eusyene within the large body of Greek fictitious narrative literature by suggesting a parallel text that may hold clues to the broader plot of the new piece and provoke thought about its genre.
