| Description | AfP 46 (2000): 16-17 (papyrus no. 2) Fragment (8.8 x 7.4 cm) from a papyrus codex containing OT Psalms 88.4-8 and 15-18. The fragment preserves 26 lines of text (original amount is estimated to ca. 33 lines per column; see ed. pr.), and is broken on its sides and the top. The bottom margin is preserved and measures approx. 2 cm. The hand is descriped as upright, rounded and competent. For punctuation and diacrritical marks, the text makes use of diaereses and the apostrophe after the Hebrew name David in l. 2-3. The lines are not arranged strictly stichometrically, and the end of the cola are marked with a dicolon. A sub-title ("di-Psalm") occupies l. 6 of the recto. The text employs several nomina sacra. Despite a few errors and a smaller omission (see the loss of κύριε "Lord" in l. 6), the text mostly agrees with the MS B and S. |
