Polycrates’ guests: extraneous text and ancient conservation on P.Oxy. 1790

Abstract:
The article examines the conservation work which P.Oxy. XV 1790 underwent in antiquity. The combination of multispectral images (MSI) and careful inspection of the original in situ allows a more precise understanding of the work carried out by the conservator and of the materials he used. It is established that the extraneous text made visible by the MSI is written on the verso of the strips of papyrus that were used by the conservator. The article includes a partial transcription of the text together with an attempt at interpretation.
