Description

Scherer 1956: 4, no. 2-3.  

Small parchment fragment (measurements uncertain) preserving 3 lines of Genesis 31:8 and 3 lines of Hebrews 12:22-23.  

The fragment was reused as repair material for the binding of a papyrus codex from Troe, known as KV 63/74/70, which contains an extensive copy of the works by Origenes (mid 6th/mid 7th c.; Troe). The fragment reinforced the binding of the second quaternion of Contra Celsum; see VanHaelst 1977: 17.
