Papyrus Oxyrhynchus 466
Papyrus Oxyrhynchus III 466 is a fragmentary 2nd century Greek papyrus manuscript containing instructions for wrestling, including the description of various grips and holds, constituting the earliest historical European martial arts manual. The papyrus was given to Columbia University by the Egypt Exploration Society in 1907.
The text is in three columns with 13, 15 and 10 lines, respectively.
Each instruction is followed by plexon "tangle", translated by Miller as "mix it up!". Poliakoff translates "you fight it out".
