Brent Nongbri has another post on Scott Carroll and the manuscripts he uses in his presentations and lectures.  Carroll’s identifications are all over the place (one MS fragment is apparently from a patristic text or Aesop, and in the case of another text, either Romans or the gospel of John.  Carroll (whom I used to know slightly, as he lived in the area and taught as an adjunct in History for us here for one semester) is very cavalier in his discussions of these pieces.  He appears to me to be more an impresario than a scholar.
