                "description": "Blumell 2017: 31-43\r\nSmall papyrus fragment containing Luke, Acts of the Apostles 9.1.\r\nThe papyrus, probably produced as an apotropaic amulet, has 4 lines of text written transversa charta (against the fibres). The other side remains blank. The fragment has margins of approx. 1.5 cm all-round (right side is broken off), and the ed. pr. estimates an original size of 13 x 7 cm (current size is 6.5 x 8.6 cm). The fragment was apparently folded, as is indicated by its folding lines and tears, and perhaps strung after folding; see\u00a0ed. pr. and Dieleman 2015: 23-25.\r\nThe hand is practised, cursive, and right-leaning, and the elongated strokes of some of the letters point to a date in the 4th c. A\u00a0nomen sacrum is expected (due to the format of the fragment) in the lacuna of l. 3.\r\nThe choice of NT passage for an apotropaic amulet is particularly interesting. The text reads:\r\n\"Meanwhile Saul, still breathing threats and murder against the disciples of the Lord, approached\". Here the text curiously omits the expected final phrase \u03c4\u1ff7 \u1f00\u03c1\u03c7\u03b9\u03b5\u03c1\u03b5\u1fd6 (\"to the high priest\"). Such an abrupt rendering of a Biblical quote (e.g. broken off mid-sentence) is not an unusual feature of the amulets, see ed. pr.\r\nThe subject matter is also curious, given that it is not overtly apotropaic, as is usual concerning the NT passages in amulets. The\u00a0ed. pr. gives two suggestions: that the text attempts a 'homeopathic' approach, warding off the dangers of prosecution with a depiction of just that, or that the amulet presents a historiola\u00a0(short narrative with ritual power) of Saul's conversion thus presenting the powers of Christ.\u00a0",
