Description | P.Rain.UnterrichtKopt. 78 Fragment of a syllabary containing syllables beginning with ¥ (with all letters of the Coptic alphabet in coda), a short mention of the Trinity, and names of Biblical figures in Coptic (S). For unknown reasons, the editor attributes the dialect as F, but see the mention of the Trinity, which, even though partly restored, is Sahidic. The object might have been much larger originally as shown by faint traces of letters just above the upper edge and obvious signs of a break. |
