| Description | Schmitz-Mink mae 3: This vellum sheet (12.1 x 10.7 cm) is the pastedown (p. B) glued inside the front cover of the Codex Glazier, a 112-folio Coptic miniature codex containing Acts of the Apostles. It contains three distinct text sections, all written by the same hand as the Codex, and is inscribed with the page number 2 (ⲃ). The verso of the sheet was blank; despite being glued to the codex binding, the vellum is thin enough to see through. The ed.pr. proposes the sheet had originally been intended for use in a codex containing Kings, but discarded due to the error on line 6. |
