| Description | P.Köln IV 167; P.Koeln IV 167 Parchment fragment (14 x 20 cm) containing parts of the Book of Wisdom (Sapientia Salomonis) 17.5-20 of the Old Testament. The parchment appears to have been cut in the upper corner along a curved line. The fragment is the oldest witness for this text aside from MS V. The text is arranged in one column (31-35 lines) on both sides, and contextually the flesh-side precedes the hair-side. The hair-side has page number 65 above the column. The verses follows the standard cola-format, and there are guiding-lines mapped out on the left and right side of the folio together with guiding-marks within the text as well. There are no diacritical marks, accents or breathings marked in the text. There are no nomina sacra. The script is an elegant, slanting majuscule, comparable to the script of P.Chester Beatty VI 11 (Ecclesiasticus, 300-350, Aphroditopolis). |
