Dear list-members,

My question relates particularly to "Fragments of the Book of Noah"
(chapters 6-11) or "The Book of Watchers" (Milik`s term) (chapters 1-36).
What is the age of the Greek Cairo papyrus 10759? (I do not at present have
access to M.Black, 1970, "Apocalypsis Henochi Graece" where a date may be
found). Are there other older Greek manuscripts? What are the conjectures
as to when this part of 1 Enoch was translated into Greek?

Regards
