| 1 papyrus ; 11.6 x 2.5 cm |
| Brokenn off at the right, left and top sides. The papyrus is medium colored and rough.
There are two pieces joined together. |
| col. i (col. 12) 13 lines;col. ii (col. 13) 7 lines |
| Source of description: Recto |
| The text is written in black ink. The hand exhibits medium-sized, rounded uncials
which are to be dated to the late second or early third century. Since line 336 and
363 are on a level, we can determine that the roll held about 28 lines per column.
We are dealing therefore with the bottoms of columns 12 and 13 of a roll. The lower
margin varies from 2.8 cm to 2.5 cm because the writing slants, especially in the
second preserved column. The intercolumnar area is 3 cm at its narrowest. Letter-height
averages 3 mm. |
