| P.Corn. Inv. MSS. A 101. X |
| 1 papyrus ; 5.6 x 8.4 cm |
| Broken off at the left, right and bottom sides and preserves the beginnings of two
columns. The papyrus is very dark and coarse. |
| col. i (col. 9) 8 lines;col ii (col. 10), 10 lines |
| Source of description: Verso |
| The text is written in black ink. The intercolumar area is 1.8 cm at its narrowest.
Letter-height averages between 2 and 3 mm. The hand is semi-uncial characteristic
of the middle to late second century. A few stops, but no accents or other diacritical
marks are in eveidence/ Lines 244 and 272 are on a level. Calculating, therefore,
on the basis of about 30 lines per column, we can determine that we are dealing with
the beginning of columns 9 and 10 of a roll and further that 16 columns will have
been needed to contain all of Book 7. |
