Q: "In any case, the main cost of a literary papyrus probably lay in the cost of paying a good scribe write the text, rather than in the cost of the material itself,"
C: I was surprised the cost of writing wasn't high due to the materials itself but rather because of the actually writing/text itself.
Q: How does the fact that only those who were able to afford scribes were the ones able to develop texts affect the texts we have left thousands of years later and thus out perception of the time? Also, were the scribes always exact in their writings or would they manipulate things here and there?
