General Notes P. Oxy. LXXVI 5089 is the same manuscript as P.Oxy. XVII 2468. Fr. 2. of 2468 physically joins with the upper part of 5089, col. i. Fr. 3 of 2468 was part of column iii of fr. 1, and has been encoded as Part B of that column. There is nothing to show where the division of lines in that fragment may have been, and the subdivision proposed is arbitrary. Otherwise, fr. 1 of the DCLP edition reports the text of P.Oxy. 2468, while fr. 2 reports that of P.Oxy. 5089. Width and height provided are those of P.Oxy. 5089.
