Description | SB VIII 9786: Judicial document Complete sheet of papyrus containing notes about one Isak, son of Akoous, who has been incriminated for theft, including his name, the crime he committed and the sentence. According to ed., the papyrus would be the notebook of the chief-guardian, who undertakes to enforce the penalty fixed by the court. The text is very faded at places. The writing is an upright, large and legible cursive (or semi-cursive) hand running along the fibres. Use of diairesis, and supralinear upsilon (inside words). Initial Greek cross (rather than staurogram as in ed.). |
