Reuse Type complicated: palimpsest new, other text(s) on the same object: 48875, 48871, 53852, 48862, 53848palimpsest old: traces of an erased illegible Demotic text. The Ro is palimpsest too, but the erased Greek is also illegible. The original text on the papyrus was the erased Greek on Ro (palimpsest old Ro), afterwards reused: either first by the later erased Demotic on Vo (palimpsest old Vo) or Demotic on Ro (palimpsest new Ro), last reuse on Vo by 5 various Demotic texts (palimpsest new Vo) in an unclear chronological order; see now D. Agut-Labordère, RdE 56 (2005), p. 45-53
Date BC 250 - 220 (cf. P. Chronik, p. 4 with n. 7: text is dated palaeographically - both by the demotic script and the Greek text - to the early Ptolemaic period. For the more precise date cf. Felber, OLA 107, p. 68 (date during the reign of P03) and Devauchelle, in: Transeuphratène 9 (1995), p.73 (because of the Greek text).)
