| Description | Magical spell in Akhmimic Coptic meant to damage a certain man called Jacob and invoking several archangels, 5400 martyrs, the Virgin, Jesus, and Zechariah, father of John the Baptist. Written along the fibres; three crosses at the middle top of the sheet and at the end of l. 12; staurogram in the left margin of l. 2; use of nomina sacra. Layout and handwriting connect this text with P.Louvre E 11036A, P.Louvre E 11036B, and P.Aberdeen (Roquet 1994). To the same archive belongs also P.Lond.Copt. I 1223. Since the papyrus was found later in the same drawer, a connection between this piece and P.IFAO copte 451 is also assumed. |
