Papyrus 40 ‘della Raccolta Milanese’
With considerable topicality A. Vogliano published in 1940 a scrap of papyrus describing an engagement between Romans and Ethiopians. Since his book is difficult to procure I reproduce his text and restorations:—Vogliano jumps to the conclusion that π is a fragment of a literary work (to be fathered on to the historian Nicolaus of Damascus), from which it follows that it deals with the Ethiopian expedition under Augustus. He paraphrases its sense thus: ‘The Ethiopians are in line. The Romans advance, the infantry under command of a certain Rufus, cavalry under a certain Trogus. Other persons must have been named first.’
