Abstract

This chapter offers a detailed discussion of the three scribes who copied the codex of Philo of Alexander at Oxyrhynchus, paying particular attention to non-textual features, such as sense-unit divisions, nomina sacra, page layout, and other sigla or marks. This investigation identifies common features and unique traits for the three scribes and argues that the scribes shared certain practices when making this codex.
