Description

T.KellisSyr.Copt. 1

Lower part of wooden board with Coptic (L) and Syriac glossary of terms from liturgical (?) texts, supposedly Manichaean but the terms are not specific, so inferred from general context; Side a: two columns of Syriac written first, the Coptic added in parallel; Side b: one column of the same, though glosses less complete and Coptic in different hand; might be a school exercise.
