| Inv. Id | P.Mich.inv. 607 |
| Support/Dimensions | 1 papyrus ; 15.5 x 20.1 cm. |
| Condition | A llittle bit of the string attaching the leaves of the original codex remains attached in the inner margins of folio 1. Masses of salt crystals deeply embeded between the fibers all over the sheet. |
| Lines | 1-46 |
| Recto/Verso | Source of description: folio 1; Recto + Verso |
| Hands | A llittle bit of the string attaching the leaves of the original codex remains attached in the inner margins of folio 1. (TC) Two fragmentary leaves of what was originally a large and beautiful papyrus codex. The text was written in two columns, only the inner columns of each folio being preserved. Both sheets of this codex are broken off at the top, but we may establish the original number of lines with some degree of certainty. A tentative reconstruction of the Coptic, based upon Maspero's text, suggests that four lines have been lost at the beginning of Folio I Verso Col. ii, which would therefore have originally contained 24 lines. Only a small amount of text is missing between the end of Folio I Verso Col. ii and the beginning of Folio 2 Recto Col. 1; as a likely reconstruction of the Coptic indicates, no more than five lines have vanished from the beginning of this column, and thus, like the preceding, when complete it would have held 24 lines of writing.;Writing may be assigned to the ninth century of our era, perhaps to the second half: the hand is somewhat similar to that of a Vienna papyrus of Kingdoms IV, recently edited by T. Orlandi, Koptische Papyri theologischen Inhalts, MPER, N.S. 9 (Vienna, 1974), I (K 7549a-h, containing portions of 4 Kgs. 1.6-17.15). Despite the affinity of subject matter, it is clear that the Michigan and Vienna papyri do not come from the same codex: the writing styles. though similar, are obviously the work of different scribes, and the line lengths of the Vienna text are characteristically shorter than those of the Michigan piece. |
