Commentary

Philological commentary

*The ductus on the verso is different from the recto: lines b1-2 are somewhat larger, lines b3-4 considerably smaller.

Remarks

*According to Broomhead 1962: 347 "[t]he recto has five lines written in an abnormal hand in medium ductus. The verso has four lines, two written in medium ductus, and two in small ductus. The writing is clearly preserved."
