Abstract
The article offers the (re)edition of five tables of parts (1/12, 1/13, 1/14, 1/15, 1/16), contained in P.Oxy. XXXIII 2656, the famous codex of Menander’s Misoumenos (ed. pr.: Turner 1965) and only partially (table of 1/13) edited so far (cf. Turner 1965, 18–19). The palaeographical and content-related analysis of the tables, turn out to be fundamental for a better understanding of the codex’s chronology and context.
