Dear William, I've asked the selling institution if they would consider a 10% discount if an institution bought the complete collection. They agreed that they would give such a discount. Kind regards, Don Dr Don Barker Dept. Ancient History Macquarie University Sydney 2109 AUSTRALIA +61 2 9850 9962
>>> William Johnson <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> 20/08/2008 3:25 am >>> Dear Dr Barker, Yes, we may well be interested if we could locate sufficient funds. Can you give more particulars about the collection? As you may know, Cincinnati is home to both Peter van Minnen and myself. We hosted the Papyrological Summer Institute here in the US a couple of years ago (for which we had to borrow specimens from UMich). Our sole interest, then, is in assembling a teaching collection, which was of course the intention behind the Oxyrhynchus distribution to US institutions. Very best, -w. William A.

The institution wishes at this stage to remain anonymous and is wanting another institution/s to purchase them rather than a private individual. If anyone is interested could you please contact me via my personal email. Thanks, Don Dr Don Barker Dept. Ancient History Macquarie University Sydney 2109 AUSTRALIA +61 2 9850 9962
