Description

P.Bal. I 10

Single fragmentary folio from a miniature Isaiah codex in Coptic (S) preserving Is 52:14-53:4 in a single column; if page number (48, no longer visible today according to Schüssler) is correct, then it must have been from a codex containing the second part of Isaiah since text preceding Is 52:14 would need ca. 180 pages
