Palaeographic Description
McMillan in ed. princ.: The hand is similar to the Washington Manuscript of the Pauline Epistles (Plate XXXI in Hatch, The prinicipal Uncial Manuscripts of the New Testament).
PJS in BASP 31, 1994, pp. 121-124: There is an upper margin of 2.7 cm. The text was written on the flesh side. The clear cut of the parchment at the bottom is to be noted. This piece was perhaps prepared for other use (e.g. bookbinding). The writing is in a biblical majuscule.; cf. Cavallo - Maehler, GBEBP, nos 24b, 25a, 25b.

McMillan in ed. princ.: Although the text preserves only a dating formula, the fact that it is written in a literary hand strongly suggests that the text is from a martyrology, where formulas of this type are common. They may occur at the beginning or end of a martyrology. Since the text does not continue on the verso, we may assume that the piece is the last page of the codex. The mention of Diocletian in l 1 and Clodius Culcianus in l. 4 gives further evidence to support the supposition that this fragment is from a martyrology. Both of these men are mentioned by name in several martyrologies. The date mentioned in the text is: December 18, 307 A.D.
PJS in BASP 31, 1994, pp. 121-124: There is writing on the other side of the papyrus, which seems to be unrelated to the text discussed here. The writing on the back stands upside down in relation to the main text, Coptic?
Finally, PJS proposes that it is the end of a parchment codex which once contained the Passion of Saint Dioskorus.
Translation
