Description | Daris 1972: 114-115, no. 11. Fragment (5.5 x 6.5 cm) from a folio containing a theological treatise. The fragment is torn on all sides, and preserves parts of 8 lines of text on the recto and 9 lines on the verso. Due to its fragmentary state, it is difficult to decipher the sequence of the pages. Within the text, the connective καί is abbreviated in l. 3 (recto) and there are several ligatures. There are no nomina sacra. The text appears to be a theological treatise that concerns the superiority of agape over pistis. The content could suggest that the fragment belonged to a larger work. The hand is a clear, semi-uncial with several ligatures, and the impression is that of a hasty, trained scribe; see Mugridge 2016: 398. |
