"It's being called a second Renaissance," says Todd Hickey, a curator of papyri at the University of California, Berkeley, which has some 26,000 pieces of papyrus, many still unread. "It's revealing things that we didn't have a hope of reading in the past."

For projects to digitize the manuscripts of the St. Catherine's Monastery, see here and here. For the Center for the Study of New Testament Manuscripts, see here. For the Archimedes palimpsest see here, here, and here.
This is a very worthwhile endeavor.

According to an encyclopedia article on Neophron published in the 1970s (by Franz Stoessl), three fragments of Neophron's Medea were known. From their style they were assigned to the 4th century, and the author seemed to be trying to improve on Euripides' Medea on the basis of Aristotle's critique of Euripides in the Poetics.
