Description | T.Mil.Vogl. inv. 5: inscribed wooden fragment Unedited inscribed wooden object, completely preserved with Psalm 12.3-5, probably used in an educational context: the words are separated by an oblique line and syllables are marked off (see Gallazzi in Bucking 1997: 136 and n. 19). The quality of the wood, the craftsmanship displayed by the visible side of the piece (which, differently from the other side, is polished), as well as the groove (perpendicular on the axis of the object) located on the non-written side indicate that we are not dealing with a proper wooden writing tablet. |
