Description

P.Oxy. IX 1167; AT12; Aland AT12

Fragment containing the Book of Genesis 31:42-54.

The text is written in sloping uncials and lacks punctuation, yet features a diastole in l. 2 (recto) and superlinear abbreviations of line-final nu, see ed. pr. No word-initial diaereses are found except in the name Jacob (Ϊακωβ; although one occurrence without the diaeresis can be found in l. 19).

The scribe appears to have made some minor mistakes, such as an added nu to πανν[τα in l. 6, omission in l. 30 (γω for ἐγώ). The ed. pr. suggests a dittographical addition of ει to ταπεινώσεις in l. 26-27.
