- Content
- This papyrus appears to contain a hand-list of notes for a sermon on the cross in the tradition of the sermon De inventione sanctae crucis of Alexander Monachus (MG 87 III 4073 et sqq.). The text was perhaps meant to constitute an encomium to follow a discussion similar to that which precedes Alexander's encomium in De Inventione.
