' This classification is based upon that instituted by Wilcken in Archiv fur Papyrusforschung, I. pp. 4-24, but is necessarily much less detailed, since many of the Cairo <strong>papyri</strong> have not been copied in extenso or are too fragmentary to admit of a precise determination of their contents. With regard to the chronological grouping of them, we have in preference to Wilcken's division of the periods into Ptolemaic, Roman IB.C.30-A. D.284), Byzantine (a. d. 284-642), and Arabic (later than a.d. 642), divided the periods into Ptolemaic, Roman (b. c. 30-a. d. 284), Early Byzantine (a. d. 284-400) and Late Byzantine (later than A. D. 400). Since fifth century <strong>papyri</strong> are very rare, and fourth century documents are both internally and externally much more closely connected with those of the third than with those of the sixth century, and since on the other hand <strong>papyri</strong> of the Arabic period can but rarely be distinguished from those of the sixth and early seventh centuries, a line of division at A. D. 400 seems more convenient and practical than one at A. D. 642. R and V following a number signify recto and verso. :
