| Description | Aland AT56: Amulet or school-text? Biblical piece on a sheet of papyrus that does not come from a codex as there is an almost illegible single line of cursive writing on the reverse side (different hand and later date). The papyrus is rather rough and thick. It contains a psalm (Ps. 19.7-8) written stichometrically in an informal uncial. No punctuation nor word division. Possibly written as an amulet or as a writing exercise. Both sides are written along the fibres. |
