La Techne grammatike e la documentazione papiracea

This article deals with the problem of the use of papyrological data in order to establish the chronology of the Techne grammatike ascribed to Dionysius Thrax. A survey of recent finds (P.Bingen 8 = T.Mil.Vogl. inv. 8; P.Berol. inv. 10508-10512) and a reconsideration of some old material (P.Oslo II 13) lead to the conclusion that material present in the Techne is to be found in texts current at least from the 2^nd century AD onwards.
