 CHRONOLOGICAL LIST OF DOCUMENTS DISCUSSED

In more than one case the dates assigned below can be only very approximate; for example, since the Akhmim papyrus is probably not earlier than 600, nor later than 900, the year half way between these years has been given. When printed sources gave no dates the leading living authorities were consulted for determining them. An attempt has been made to adjust to recent scholarship the dates in printed sources.
