| Description | P.Ryl.Gr. III 50 Fragment from the bottom of a page of a papyrus codex preserving remains of six lines on each side. written in the elegant slanting hand that was the precursor of the more formal Byzantine type. Small finials may be noticed on some letters, in particular τ and υ; ε is angular and large, while β is pinched and reaches above and below the line. If the Eusebius of verso l. 3 is one of the ecclesiastical writers of that name, the fragment may belong to a Christian apologetic work which attacked the pagan mythology; but he may be one of the late rhetoricians of that name. |
