Description	P. Med. inv. 68.64: This incomplete papyrus document (7.2 x 15.7 cm) is missing its top left and bottom right corners, and holes create gaps in the text. There are two texts on the recto (which are written upside down to one another), one on verso. Text A: Beginning with what might be a Chi Rho, this section might partially be a homily, notes with a quote, or a commentary on 1 Corinthians 2:8 (ἣν οὐδεὶς τῶν ἀρχόντων τοῦ αἰῶνος τούτου ἔγνωκεν εἰ γὰρ ἔγνωσαν οὐκ ἂν τὸν κύριον τῆς δόξης ἐσταύρωσαν). There was possibly a second hand after τὸν. Text B: 8 lines written in a similar (the same?) hand as Text A. Unidentified origin, mention of water suggests a possible liturgical text related to the baptism Text C: 4 lines similar to Text B; impossible to identify, probably a doxology with ὁ κ(ύριο)ς ἰ(ησοῦ)ς … δόξαν. Nomina sacra: κε, κν, κς, ις
