Inv. Id | P.Mich.Inv. 433 |
Support/Dimensions | 1 papyrus ; 16.6 x 22 cm. |
Condition | Dark brown papyrus covered with mud in many parts. Regularly cut at left and top, broken off at right and bottom, only top margin is survived. The papyrus is suffered damage, misaligned or removed fibers; the surface is roughened. The papyrus horizontal strips on recto are separated from each other and vertically separated on verso, which gives the impression that it was badly manufactured. The papyrus was randomly folded. There is a small patch of papyrus on verso. |
Lines | 17 |
Recto/Verso | Source of description: Recto |
Hands | Written along the fibers. The letters are large cursive in first three lines then medium-sized cursive in the rest of the text; the letters are linking; the hand is elegant and ornamental. Y-shaped kappa with a curved descending stoke; rho with a loop and a vertical stroke; sigma with a prolonged horizontal stroke; Y-shaped upsilon with extending the right oblique; the final alpha formed by a loop with a long oblique stroke. The few lines written across the fibers in the left margin are written with a shorter space between letters rather than the main text with, almost, the same characteristics. |
