Scientific paper

This paper presents an analysis of the planetary tables, written in Greek, contained in Papyrus P. Oxy. LXI 4160 and P. Berol. 16511 of the Berlin collection. It is shown that the data in the papyrus involve a member of the System A family of Babylonian models for Jupiter's longitudes that has been unknown hitherto, and that they further reveal a new and interesting method for calculating the corresponding dates.
