- Papyrus codex. It comes from the upper outside corner of a leaf of the codex. It is light brown in color and of fine quality. It contains scanty remainsof line ends on Side I and line beginnings, extending up to half the width of the verses, on Side II.
- Palaeographic Description
- The text was written by a painstaking and experienced scribe, who kept the moderate letter slope constant and the margins and lines of writing straight. The handsome capital hand is embellished with well executed finials and contrasting thick and thin strokes of the pen. The format of the papyrus shows a rather lavish use of space. The eisthesis in l. 489ff. is noticeably deep. The upper margin (at its widest point) measures 5.5 cm (side I) and 6.0 cm (side II), Side I contained 28 lines, a modest figure. Both line height and interlinear average 0.3 cm. There are no accents. The text was worked over by someone who used a thin, gravish-brown ink, which is easily distinguishable from the original black ink. This hand wrote apostrophes to mark elision, a rough breathing to distinguish an ambiguous spelling, a diaereses over initial upsilon, corrected the someone unusual spelling mistake in 488 and a supralinear alpha folloed by a stop. The stops and the other apostrophes appear to have been written by the first scribe along with the text. Changes of speakers are indicated correctly and very fully. The double points marking changes at line ends, as well as the paragrarhus separating dialogue from lyric, were written by the first hand. Choral passage wasdistinguished by eisthesis.
