My favourite scribal error in this ms. so far: ἐν τοῖς περὶ τῆς προνοίας rendered as ... περὶ πορνείας. From Providence to Prostitution. An unknown apocryphal book of the Bible?

Der Einbrecher war versunken in "Gli Dei alle sei. L'Iliade all'ora dell'aperitivo". Mit welchem Buch vor der Nase würde man euch beim Einbrechen ertappen?

ἀρχὴ μεγίστη τοῦ φρονεῖν τὰ γράμματα. Des Denkens größter Ursprung ist die Schrift. Prima Satz zur Einführung ins griechische Schreiben, beliebt bei Schulübungen, wie auch auf dieser Wachstafel (P.Berol.14000 G1): https://t.co/39bjPDb6vA
