| Description | Papathomas 2015: 91-97. Parchment fragment containing Ezechiel 12:16-19 and 23-25. The fragment (measuring 5,4 x 4,8 cm) is medium brown in color and broken off all around. The ink is black. The text begins on the hair side of the folio and continues on the flesh side, and preserves parts of Ezechiel. The two-column format indicates that the fragment belonged to a codex, and not as e.g. an amulet; see ed. pr. The text does not add to or diverge from the manuscript witnesses, but contributes to the small amount of Ezechiel papyrus/parchment copies from Christian Egypt: this group currently consists of this fragment, as well as P.Grenf. I 5 (Ezek 5:12–6:3 from the early 4th c.; Arsinoties) and Aland AT 146 (inter alia Ezek 11:25-17:21, 19:12-39.29 from the late 2/mid-3rd c., Aphroditopolis) and the parchment fragments P.Ant. I 10 (4th c., Antinoopolis) and P.Ant.inv. 25.1.06 (second half of the 4th c., Antinoopolis). The script is an elegant Biblical majuscule, and the text contains nomina sacra. |
