| Description | P.Bal. I 2; P.Bodl. I 1 Parchment fragment from a miniature codex containing Exodus 4:4-6. The folio measures 8.9 x 7 cm, and preserves 12 lines of text (in one column) on both recto and verso. The text contains several diaereses and nomina sacra. A numerical delta occurs above the column on the recto, numbering the quire (there are no page numbers on the fragment); see ed. pr. The text agrees largely with Codex B, from which it diverges in two variants: Ex 4:5: κ(υριό)ς ὁ θ(εό)ς in agreement with A, F and M against Codex B ὁ θ(εό)ς. The hand is described as a sloping, formal majuscule ("squared" added in ed. pr.) |
