The codex contains mathematical problems, metrological tables, and model contracts. Given the nature of the contents, the format, and quality of the Greek, the editors conclude that the codex most likely belonged to a student in a school devoted to training business agents and similar professionals. The editors present here the first full scholarly edition of the text, with complete discussions of the provenance, codicology, and philology of the surviving manuscript. They also provide extensive notes and illustrations for the mathematical problems and model contracts, as well as historical commentary on what this text reveals about late antique numeracy, literacy, education, and vocational training in what we would now see as business, law, and administration"-- $c Provided by publisher. 650 0 $a Manuscripts, Greek (Papyri) 650 0 $a Paleography, Greek. 650 0 $a Mathematics $v Early works to 1800. 650 7 $a Manuscripts, Greek (Papyri) $2 fast $0 (OCoLC)fst01008356 650 7 $a Mathematics. $2 fast $0 (OCoLC)fst01012163 650 7 $a Paleography, Greek. $2 fast $0 (OCoLC)fst01051456 651 7 $a Aegyptus (Roman imperial province) $2 pleiades $0 https://pleiades.stoa.org/places/766 655 7 $a Early works. $2 fast $0 (OCoLC)fst01411636 700 1 $a Bagnall, Roger S., $e editor. 700 1 $a Jones, Alexander, $d 1960- $e editor. 700 1 $a Dieleman, Jacco, $e contributor. 700 1 $a Hermans, Erik, $d 1985- $e contributor. 700 1 $a Ossendrijver, Mathieu, $e contributor. 700 1 $a Ben-Dov, Jonathan, $e contributor. 700 1 $a Kosova, Katja, $e editor. 700 1 $a Misiewicz, ZoeÂ, $d 1985- $e editor. 700 1 $a Dombrowski, Justin, $d 1979- $e contributor. 740 0 $a P.
