Description	P. Bagnall 2; P.Col. inv. 75: Schedule of Work Days The 6 lines of this small square papyrus (6.7 x 6.9 cm) concern the appointment of hyperetai from Tmoinebsobthis (in the Oxyrhynchite nome) and Kolobe (possibly in the Hermopolite) by weekdays. The days are indicated either by their planetary or their Judeo-Christian name: Sunday (Judeo-Christian: κυριακῇ), Thursday (planetary: Διός), Monday (planetary: Σελήνης) and Saturday (Judeo-Christian: Σαμβᾶ, related to Sabbath). All borders of the papyrus are intact, although there is the possibility that it is broken off at the bottom. The damage at the top right corner does not impact the text.
