Su P.Lit.Goodspeed 2 sono stati copiati, nel II-III sec. d.C., poemi identificabili come inni a divinità del pantheon tolemaico. Si prendono qui in esame le peculiarità paleografiche ed ortografiche del papiro (doppio iota, raddoppiamento di consonanti prima di un’occlusiva sorda, raddoppiamento di sigma, occlusive sorde rinforzanti la corrispondente occlusiva aspirata); il suo possibile Fundort (Hermupolis?); il contesto performativo degli inni. In appendice, un repertorio di altre antologie di inni su papiro.

Abstract
On P.Lit.Goodspeed 2 have been copied, in the II-III century AD, poems identifiable as hymns to the gods of the Ptolemaic pantheon. The work examines the paleographic and orthographic peculiarities of this papyrus (double iota, doubling of consonants before a voiceless stop, doubling of sigma, voiceless stops reinforcing the correspondent aspirate stop), its possible Fundort (Hermupolis?); the performative context of the hymns. In the appendix, a repertoire of other anthologies of hymns on papyrus.I documenti in IRIS sono protetti da copyright e tutti i diritti sono riservati, salvo diversa indicazione.
