In P.Oxy. LXXI 4811 (2nd century AD) we read of a young man and a young woman talking about declamation; the piece has been convincingly ascribed to some lost novel. It is the aim of this article to re-edit P.Oxy. 4811, to elucidate some of the technical details it contains about ancient declamation, and to reconstruct the fictional frame of this fragment and its probable relationship with another ‘romance papyrus’, PSI XI 1220.
