| Description | PSI X 1166; Gregory-Aland 0207; Uncial 207 Parchment fragment from a codex containing John, Apocalypse (Book of Revelations): 9:2-15. The fragment measures 15.2 x 18.7 cm and contains 29 lines of texts per column, with 2 columns per page. The hand is described as a small, neat Biblical uncial. The intercolumnal space measures approx. 1 cm, and the written space of each column measures 12 x 4.5 cm. This particular Book of Revelations is estimated to have spanned approx. 17 folios; see ed. pr., but the estimate is argued against in Malik/Müller (see Malik/Müller 2018: 89), who suggest that the fragment was part of an extensive codex and followed the four Gospels, which were possibly "furnished with Eusebian canon tables or kephalaia lists". The page (recto/flesh side) is effaced, but a page number is visible which labels the page as 477 (upsilon - omicron - zeta), while the hair-side is numbered as 478; see Pintaudi 2009/10: 127-128. The text contains several diaereses (see col. ii l. 3 (recto), col. i l. 14 (verso) and col. ii l. 1(verso)), and nomina sacra. |
