He has had a number of refereed publications, including “Reconsidering the Dates of Three Christian Letters” in Archiv für Papyrusforschung und verwandte Gebiete (2008), “Petition to a Beneficiarius from Late Third Century A.D. Oxyrhynchus” in Zeitschrift für Papyrologie und Epigraphik (2008) and the forthcoming “A Note on the Meaning of the Term MONOKTISTHS” Zeitschrift für Papyrologie und Epigraphik."
