Palaeographic Description
L. 3 of recto and l. 1-3 of verso are written in large rustic capitals (up to 30 mm high in the upper line of the verso). L. 1-2 of recto: a large cursive. (Sanders)
"The bold, expert lettering of the larger writing recalls Pompeian mural inscriptions, though individual letters are broader. The smaller writing shows early Roman cursive forms written calligraphically: the oblique tail of Q plunges down to the right; the shoulder of R is a bold sinuous down-stroke; U has the form of an open roundish V" (Lowe)
