Commentary

Remarks

According to Broomhead 1962: 308 "[w]ritten on the recto in small to medium ductus, and very clearly preserved, it is the middle of a manuscript which must have had five lines at least. On the verso only one line written in the same ductus, and two lines in smaller cursive ductus, badly written."

Philological commentary

n1cer: for ceu.
