Description | Dianich 1957: 178-179; Aland AT104 Fragment of a papyrus folio containing the Book of Sirach (Ecclesiasticus) 29:15-18 and 25-27. The fragment is approx. 10 x 5.5 cm (estimated original size: 15 x 22 cm), and only the right side remains somewhat intact: the right margin is narrow (0.5 cm), but wider (2.3 cm) on the other side of the page. The verso (8 lines) precedes the recto (6 lines). The ed. pr. estimates that 23 lines have been lost between the verso and recto. Dicola indicate verse end, and a filler sign (>) appears in the end of l. 2 of the verso. There is sometimes an enlarged space between words.There are no nomina sacra. The script is described by the ed.pr. as a large and clear Biblical majuscule. |
