Exler’s dissertation analyzes fixed expressed used in Ancient Greek letter writing. It provides a survey of the usage of formulas for openings and closing the ancient papyri letters, as well as other conventional and fixed expressions from the Ptolemaic and Roman periods, from the third century B.C. up to the third century A.D. Exler provides valuable insight into the fixed expressions used by letter writers like Paul in the New Testament.
