Description | BKT VIII 21 Papyrus fragment containing Isaiah 49:16-18. The fragment measures 7 x 5 cm, and preserves 10 lines of text arranged in one column. The verso is blank. There has been suggested the possibility that the fragment constituted the last folio in a papyrus codex, thus ending the codex on Isa 49:21; see ed. pr. For punctuation, there is one high-dot in l. 3. There is also preserved one nomen sacrum (l. 9; κ(ύριο)ς with supralinear stroke). |
