Help Oxford University Transcribe Papyri from Oxyrhynchus - Greek not essential

Oxford University have requested help in transcribing around 200,000 papyri fragments from Oxyrhynchus in Egypt. Each fragment has been scanned and placed online and volunteers are requested to use the website to identify the letters in the fragment. Knowledge of Greek is not  essential as the site provides help in choosing the appropriate letter. Some are easier than others to do, as the quality of the writing varies considerably while some contain no discernable text at all.
