Title Fragment of a comedy
Summary P.Oxy. X 1240 consists of four fragments written in a small informal upright script dating probably from the first half of the second century. Names of speakers have been inserted in the margin in a sloping cursive, apparently by a different hand; to which writer the occasional accents and marks of elision in the text are due is questionable. Frs. 1-3 contain beginnings of lines, and it is quite likely that 1 and 3 should be joined, in which case there would be a a loss of about nine lines between ll. 5 and 11, and Fr. 2 may partially fill this gap. The indentation of some lines, which indicates variety in metre, as well as the participation of the chorus in the dialogue, point clearly to a comedian of the older school.
