Description | P.Monts.Roca IV 58 Parchment fragment (13 x 14.6 cm) containing an unknown Christian text, perhaps pertaining to the ordination of a priest; see ed. pr. The fragment is a palimpsest: the original text, as well as a possible second text, have been effectively removed before the copying of the extant, Christian text. Small punctures in the lower margin indicate that the final text (and possibly the previous text as well; see ed. pr.) was written transversa charta on a folio intended for a manuscript. The fragment preserves 12 lines of text on the flesh-side, while the hair-side remains blank. The script is a semi-cursive hand, sloping to the right, and it is written in brown ink. Line-end abbreviations occur as well as a ligatured καί (l. 8), and the text contains one nomen sacrum (θεῷ in l. 2). |
