| Inv. Id | P.Oslo inv. 1487 |
| Support/Dimensions | 1 papyrus ; 7.5 x 13.3 cm. |
| Condition | A fragment of dark brown papyrus. The text is written along the fibres. Scanty traces of lines 1 and 24 have been preserved as well as parts of lines 2 and 14-23, with the exception of their beginnings. What remains of lines 3-13 are line beginnings and part of the left hand margin (1.7 at its widest), along which a kollesis is visible. A vertical break has incurred minor damage along the middle of lines 8-20. |
| Lines | 24 |
| Recto/Verso | Source of description: Recto |
| Hands | The hand is formal, but lacking a rigid formality. The letters are of medium module, markedly sloping to the right. They have been penned in quick, confident strokes by a skilled scribe using a medium-thick pen and black ink. The script is an elegant sample of the sloping variant of the "formal mixed" ("severe") style. The neatness of the handwriting and other formal details suggest that the fragment originally belonged to a book-roll penned by a professional scribe. |
