Description

BKT VIII 7

Vellum fragment (6 x 6 cm) containing Old Testament Psalms 28.6-11 and 29.3-8.

The text is quite effaced, and 15 lines are visible on both sides. Estimeated from the content, the fragment would have been 15 x 10 cm originally; see VanHaelst 1976: 134.

Nomina sacra appear in l. 5-8, 15 (recto) and l. 1, 2 and 6 (verso). Breathings and accents have been added at a later time in dark ink by a second hand.
