This website gives you untranslated chunks of ancient Greek papyri texts from Oxyrhynchus Egypt to transcribe. There are a series of characters for you to match up with what you see on the fragments. It’s kind of a fun puzzle, and it helps speed along the transcription of these documents so that they can be deciphered.
Some of them are much harder to read than others, so click next a few times until you find a sheet where you can actually make out the letters. Nerdy fun!
*Not the exciting part of his job.
Yes please!
I’m so doing this.
