Provenance and date are from the HGV data on papyri.info, encoded in EpiDoc XML.
- The Provenance is the Nome when available, or a more precise place name depending on the precision of the HGV metadata.
Technical note: the Nome is usually encoded with a <provenance> element. However, not all papyri have this precise encoding. When there is no <provenance> element, the Nome may also be extracted from <origPlace>, if it is present in parenthesis. If the Nome cannot be safely deduced, then the content of <origPlace> is used.
- The Date can be filtered by selecting a range of centuries, within the corpus bounds (Ptolemaic and Roman period). The search is loose, meaning that the date range of a document must overlap with the selected range. Papyri that have an incomplete range, i.e. only one terminus post or ante quem, are given a range of 50 years before/after their terminus.
When there are multiple datations for one papyrus, we consider only the first one. For a precise datation, please check HGV.
