Hello,

I am teaching on partition theories in 2 Cor and Phil over the next little
while and have realized that in most of my own reading there is little
discussion of the actual process by which letters would be stripped of their
epistolary introductions and then attached to other letters. Of course, this
could be a deliberate procedure, but in that case I am unclear about the
motive for doing it. In particular, I am wondering whether any list members
know of evidence from the broader Greco-Roman world for this kind of
dislocation in the ordinary process of scribal transmission. What I am
thinking of is not simply places in other Greek writings which are thought to
be displaced, but e.g. references to such displacement or to scribal
practices
which would explain it.

Thanks,

Ian.
