This paper comprises an edition of a short papyrus fragment in the Biblioteca Medicea Laurenziana (Florence), containing literary texts on both faces. The text on the front contains references to a certain Demostratos, very probably the 5th century BC Athenian demagogue who promoted intervention in Sicily, and to a certain Antimachos, who may be the Athenian politician of that name for whom we have epigraphic testimony: we may therefore hypothesize that this text comes either from a lost historiographical work or from an erudite commentary on the work of a historian. The text on the back, written by another hand, is even more fragmentary, but, due to the mention of a certain Hellanikos, it was probably a work of erudition, maybe related to early Athenian history, as the traces of other words seem to suggest.

This article discusses the history of P. Berol. inv. 6848, known for the Demotic temple inventory published as P. Zauzich 12, and provides the first edition of the Greek account on the back, which belongs to the archive of the Soknopaiou Nesos priest Pakysis (TM Arch 165). An appendix lays out the story of its reappearance in the early 1990s as part of a group of thirteen Berlin papyri in private hands and the negotiations and maneuvers that eventually led to the acquisition of this group by the National Museum in Warsaw in 1998.
