Description

P. Med. 70 a, SB 24 15902: Fragment of a homologia with six subscriptions 
Four fragments of papyrus (21 x 6.5 cm) have been joined together to a coherent strip. While the original sheet had been rolled, it had noticeably been burned at the top. This is the case for multiple of the Milano papyri, the geographic origin of which is however unknown. Six subscriptions in six different hands remain: [Isi]doros (hand 1), [Plo]utogene[s] (hand 2), [M]akarios (hand 3), Andreas (hand 4), Horos διάκονος κα[θολι]κῆς ἐκκλησίας (hand 5, line 8–9) as well as Sarapas, son of Sarapas, διάκονος καθ[ολι]κῆς ἐκ[κ]λησίας (hand 6, line 11). The deacon Horos is explicitly stated to be γράμματα μὴ ἰδότος (line 9) and has not signed himself, he has made use of an ἀναγνώσθης (line 10), a reader. The verso is blank.
