Abstract
While holdings of unpublished literary papyri of any extent are by now depleted in most major collections, there remains much work to be done on the textual criticism of published papyri; and even tiny, seemingly negligible scraps can prove to be of a value disproportionate to their size when it is possible to associate them on palaeographical grounds with known texts. In this short paper, I aim to illustrate some of the ways forward. My focus is on dactylic poetry, both elegiacs and hexameters. I begin with familiar fragments and close with fresh identifications, including new text by Theocritus and Callimachus.
