New Fragments of the Ptolemaic Amnesty Decree of Oct. 9th 186 BCE

In this paper we present three fragments, at least one of which belongs to the copy of the amnesty decree of 186 BCE known as P.Koln 7.313. P.Monts.Roca inv. 908 fits the left hand side of col. 1 of the decree. For the other two fragments (P.Palau Rib. inv. 172 c-d) we tentatively suggest that they belong to the same document, mainly for paleographical reasons and because they belong to a collection where other fragments of the same document are found. Although this paper does not provide many new insights into the text of the decree, it confirms that the sources for the Cologne, Roca Puig. and Palau Ribes collections of papyri were the same.
