Abstract
On P.Lit.Goodspeed 2 have been copied, in the II-III century AD, poems identifiable as hymns to the gods of the Ptolemaic pantheon. The work examines the paleographic and orthographic peculiarities of this papyrus (double iota, doubling of consonants before a voiceless stop, doubling of sigma, voiceless stops reinforcing the correspondent aspirate stop), its possible Fundort (Hermupolis?); the performative context of the hymns. In the appendix, a repertoire of other anthologies of hymns on papyrus.
