Description

P.Rain.Unterricht 147: School text

On the recto, four columns of numbers and fractions; the first one starting with a cross. On the verso, two more columns. It is unclear whether the papyrus contains a systematic calculation or just a dictation of numbers and fractions in order to test the pupil's knowledge.

Cursive handwriting running along the fibres on the recto and across the fibres on the verso.
