| Description | Small fragment (7,1 x 10,1 cm) featuring Psalm 30,3d-4a. Four lines of text are suggested, with only lines 2 and 3 being legible; the papyrus is incomplete on all sides but the left. Several indications for use as amulet (width of original sheet, hurried writing, two rips horizontally along the fibers suggesting folding); the blank Verso suggests it was not part of a codex. The ed. pr. lists 11 other occurrences of Psalm 30 in Greek texts from Egypt, ranging from the 3/4 c. to 7/8 c., but no earlier than the second half of the 2nd c. |
