Description | Verso of SB 24 15900 (TM 79234; P. Med. 71.86 c Ro), assumed to be a documentary text (accounting list?). The small fragment (4 x 2.9 cm) contains Psalm 148:7-8, possibly used as an amulet. It is incomplete on all sides and features brownish stains due to humidity. The text is irregularly distributed over the four visible lines, with either line 1 being twice as long as the subsequent lines, or parts of the Psalm being omitted by the scribe. A nomen sacrum (κν) is located on the first line. Psalm 148 only occurs in three other papyri (PSI VIII 980, PSI XVII Congr. 1, CtYBR inv. 3082 [unpubl.]) and two parchment fragments (Van Haelst no. 235, P. Ryl. III 462). |
