Description	MPER N.S. IV 51+52; KV62; KV63; KV71 Fragments from a papyrus codex containing texts of Origenes: Homiliae in Genesim (?) and Hortatoria in Pioniam. The first text appears to be a commentary on Genesis 3:11-15, possibly by Origenes. The text consists of 10 fragments (stored in Vienna as G29829 + G 29883). Of these, fragments 2 and 7 are from the same double folio, and preserve the page numbers 70 and 85. Three fragments remain without a placement. The recto of fragment 6 contains text from a stoic source. The commentary makes use of citations from Hebr. 4:15 and 12:2, Philippians 2.7 and John 14:30. The second text (G 29832) consists of 2 fragments from the last quire of the same codex as text 1. The largest fragment measures 18 x 15 cm, and preserves 26 lines of text. Fragment 2 is part of the last double folio of the codex, and preserves parts of the commentary on Genesis. It measures 10 x 7.5 cm and holds 10 lines of text on the recto (across the fibres). There are 6 lines of text on the verso (along the fibres) written in a partly effaced, cursive script from the 5/6 c. The text contains staurograms. This second text preserves the end of a parenetic homily or possibly an epistle. The text features an address to women, and could thusly be the Hortatoria in Pioniam by Origenes, which is the only of hiw works with an explicit adress to women. The text contains citations to Psalm 45:3, Wisdom of Solomon 3:6, Luke 17:6, Romans 16:20 and 1Corinthians 2:2.
