Description	P. Monts. Roca 4 43; Rahlfs 2162: Psalms 119:7 This fragment (4.9 x 6.5 cm) of the hair side of a roll of parchment contains Psalms 119:7 on 5 lines. With each line containing 13 letters, the scroll may have been arranged in columns 5 cm wide, but due to the fragment being broken off on all sides, the original proportions of the roll are uncertain. There is a horizontal line underneath the text, possibly separating this Psalm from the next; this Psalm may however also have been written entirely alone. If cut to size, the fragment may have functioned as an amulet.
