Description	P. Col. 11 295; P. Col. Teeter (Diss.) 3; P. Col. inv. 455b: Fragment recalling Genesis 6 and Gospel of John 2 A small fragment (4.6 x 4 cm) shows the remnants of 8 lines on the recto, and 8 on the verso. The ed.pr. connects the recto text to Genesis 6:13, the verso to the Gospel of John 2 (Wedding of Cana). Possible common themes of the two texts are the baptism or the feast of Epiphany. Römer 1999 suggests a theological treatise rather than a homily. Although the fragment may have been folded, there is no indication of a use as an amulet. Both sides are written in the same hand, however upside down in relation to one another. Nomina sacra: θέος, ἀνθρώπος, κόσμος. Κόσμος is also found contracted in P.Lond. VI 1927 (line 32) and P.Oxy. VII 1008 (lines 36, 40, 44).
