χάρτης [page 685] paper, made from the pith of the papyrus-plant by a process described by Pliny N.H. xiii. 11 13 (cf. V. Gardthausen Griechische Palaeographie .2 (Leipzig, 1911), p. 45 ff., E. Maunde Thompson An Introduction to Greek and Latin Palaeography (Oxford, 1912), p. 21 ff., and the other literature cited in Selections , p. xxi. ff.). The word χάρτης occurs only once in the NT (2Jn. 12), but is naturally common in our sources, e.g. P Lille I. 3 .45 (after B.C. 241 0), where payment is made ὅπως [ἔ ]χωμεν χορηγεῖν εἴς τε τὴ [ν ] γραμματεί [αν ] καὶ χάρτας , P Cairo Zen III. 59317 .4 (B.C. 250) ἀνηλώσω δὲ εἰς ταῦτα χάρτας δ̄ , I shall require 4 papyrus rolls for these things ( sc. the keeping of certain accounts), P Oxy II. 390 (i/A.D.) payment of 1 drachma 3 obols χάρτου , P Tebt II. 347 .19 (ii/AD.) ἀποθήκη τιμὴν χαρτῶν (δραχμαὶ ) δ̄ : the editors compare ib. 542, where 9 dr. for τιμῆ (ς ) χάρτου are deducted from the receipts on account of a tax, ib. 420 .7 (iii/A.D.) ἠγόρασα β̄ χάρτας , I bought two sheets of papyrus, P Flor III. 367 .7 (iii/A.D.) πολλάκις μου . . . χάρτας ἐπιστολικο [ὺς ἀπο ]στείλαντος , ἵν᾽ εὐπορῇς (cf. Act. 11:29) τοῦ γρά [φειν ] μοι , P Oxy VI. 895 .12 (A.D. 305) τιμῆς χάρτου καὶ γράπ [τρων . . ., for the price of papyrus and writing-materials, and so .14 . For χάρτης ἱερατικός , sacred paper, cf. P Lond 46 .304 (iv/A.D.) (= I. p. 74). It may be of interest to add some related words χάρτη , as in BGU III. 822 verso (iii/A.D.) πέμψον μοι ἄγραφον χ̣άρτην , ἵνα εὕρο [με ]ν ἐπιστολ [ὴν ] γράψαι : χαρτίον , as in P Cairo Zen III. 59470 .7 (mid. iii/B.C.) περὶ δὲ τῶν χαρτίων ἔγραψα μέν σοι , P Gen I. 52 .3 χαρτίον (so read by Wilcken Archiv iii. p. 399) καθαρὸν μὴ εὑρὼν πρὸς τὴν ὥραν εἰς τοῦ [τ ]ον̣ ἔγραψα , not having found a clean sheet of paper, for the moment I have written on this : χαρτάριον , as in P Tebt II. 413 .5 (ii/iii A.D.) τὸ χαρτάριν ( l. χαρτάριον ) ἔλαβεν Σερηνίων ἐσνσύφραγισμένον , Serenion took the papyrus sealed : χαρτοπώλης , as read in P Tebt I. 112 .62 (B.C. 112) (as amended Berichtigungen , p. 425) : and ἐπιχάρτη , an extra sheet, as in P Oxy I. 34 verso 15 (A.D. 127). For the light thrown by contemporary papyrus documents on the outward form and method of the NT Epistles, reference may be permitted to the Excursus on St. Paul as a Letter-writer in Milligan Thess. p. 121 ff., and Here and There p. 27 ff.
