“…Even in documents, which frequently carry a precise date (often down to a day) the ones that do not, are also assigned dates spanning whole centuries. 6 Apart from constituting standard practice, there are also valid theoretical concerns about assigning narrow ranges when dating on palaeographical grounds [7].…”

Dating papyri accurately is crucial not only to editing their texts but also for our understanding of palaeography and the history of writing, ancient scholarship, material culture, networks in antiquity, etc. Most ancient manuscripts offer little evidence regarding the time of their production, forcing papyrologists to date them on palaeographical grounds, a method often criticized for its subjectivity. In this work, with data obtained from the Collaborative Database of Dateable Greek Bookhands, Baylor University, an online collection of objectively dated Greek papyri, we created a dataset of literary papyri, which can be used for computational papyri dating. We provide an experimental benchmark on this dataset, by fine-tuning four convolutional neural networks (CNNs) pre-trained on generic images.

Dating papyri accurately is crucial not only to editing their texts, but also for our understanding of palaeography and the history of writing, ancient scholarship, material culture, networks in antiquity, etc. Most ancient manuscripts offer little evidence regarding the time of their production, forcing papyrologists to date them on palaeographical grounds, a method often criticized for its subjectivity. By experimenting with data obtained from the Collaborative Database of Dateable Greek Bookhands and the PapPal online collections of objectively dated Greek papyri, this study shows that deep learning dating models, pre-trained on generic images, can achieve accurate chronological estimates for a test subset (67.97% accuracy for bookhands and 55.25% for documents). To compare the estimates of these models with those of humans, experts were asked to complete a questionnaire with samples of literary and documentary hands that had to be sorted chronologically by century. The same samples were dated by the models in question. The results are presented and analysed.
