News of the discovery of ‘Greek scriptures’ at an excavation in Smyrna made headlines today, though the report really says nothing at all:
Some scriptures written in Greek as well as some drawings pertaining to the Roman and Hellenistic times are expected to give clues about the daily life at the time.
That’s it. No context, no contents, nothing. Hopefully at some point in the future they will actually divulge what they found.

It’s probably a blunder with the Turkish translation (?). Peter Head at ETC thinks they may mean inscriptions, but we’ll have to wait and see more details.

Aren’t we still processing the huge mounds of papyri we have discovered anyway? Aren’t there boxes of pages and fragments from Oxyrhynchus yet untranslated?

Translating some of that would be a sweet gig
