Descriptions of Documents
1
Documentary papyri are divided into four broad types, and several subtypes. In some cases the subtypes may be further divided into variations for a more fine-grained distinction. Each type, subtype and variation will be described here in detail. However, as this work is still in progress, only a selection of descriptions is currently available.

The description is usually divided into three sections: the structure of the text content, the format of the papyrus, and the layout of the text on the page.
How To Read
3
To reference papyri, we use the Trismegistos identifiers (TM numbers) [Depauw and Gheldof 2014], which link either:
- to a page in the grammateus website;
- to the corresponding papyri.info page.

Work in progress: please ignore the inconsistencies! We are
working to unify all the descriptions documents.
