| Description | P.Berol. 5513; P.Berol. inv. 5513; BKT 6.2.1; KV37 A papyrus sheet containing parts of the Shepherd of Hermas. The text preserved is the Parables (Similitudines) ii 7-10 and iv 2-5 (GCS 48, 51, 7-10; 53, 2-5). The back of the sheet is left blank, and the recto contains two columns of text. The papyrus has preserved both the bottom and intercolumnal margins, and the overall impression is that of professional work; see Wayment 2013: 82. There is no visible punctuation except in l. 6 where there is one instance of an enlarged space after τῷ θ(ε)ῷ. The text contains nomina sacra. |
