Description	P. Rainer Cent. 25; Schøyen MS 2632; P. Schøyen 1 17; P. A. Fackelmann 10; Rahlfs 2177: Fragments with Psalms 117 This small fragmented parchment (5 x 4.5 cm) is most likely 6 lines of the left column of a two-column text, with a space of 0.7 cm between columns. Containing Psalms 117:26-27, the ed.pr. considers that the sheet may have been used as an amulet, or was a collection of blessings, stating that traces of a further line after line 6 do not match with the expected words of Psalms 117:28. A line was ca. 6 cm wide, with 18-22 letters. A variant in line 4 reads εορτας instead of ἑορτήν. The verso is empty. Nomina sacra: κυ, θς.
