| Description | P.Münch. II 34; P.Muench. II 34 Two papyrus fragments (A: 4.5 x 16.5 cm and B: 4.8 x 16.3 cm) containing the Psalms 15:4-11 and 16:3-11. The current text of the Psalms has been copied onto a reused fragment. The original papyrus roll contained an administrative text (an official correspondance) from 302/302 CE (date found on the recto of fragment B). The writing area is estimated to have been 18 x 20 cm and consisted of 28 lines of text; see Bagnall 2002: 4 and the ed. pr. Both fragments contain visible kollemmata. The two psalms are preserved on different folios: Verso of fragment A contains psalm 15, verses 4 ad finem (23 lines of text). The script is a rounded majuscule. The text contains rough breathing and apostrophes (e.g., fr. A, line 8) as well as marked punctuation. Longer verses seem to have been divided over two lines (see fr. A l. 3, 5, 7, and 16, as well as fr. B l. 5), and there are several instances of nomina sacra. |
