Papyrus Oxyrhynchus 413
Papyrus Oxyrhynchus 413 (P. Oxy. III 413 or P. Oxy. 413) is stage notes of an adaptation of Euripides' Iphigeneia in Tauris (Iφιγένεια ἡ ἐν Ταύροις). The setting is shifted from Greece to India. The anonymous adaptation is known as the Charition mime after the main character.[1] It is of interest for some dialogue in an Indian language. The verso of the papyrus features an unrelated incomplete mime, the Moicheutria, involving a noblewoman plotting with her two slaves to poison an old man (possibly her husband).
The manuscript is held by the Bodleian Library as Ms. Gr. Class. b 4 (P). The manuscript is dated to the second century, possibly the Antonine period.
