Title Homeric papyrus (Iliad 3.1-25)
Author Homer
Summary Iliad 3.1-25. The single variant in l. 13 is a reminiscence
Citations Priest NE, Homeric Papyri in the Michigan Collection (Diss.), 55-61, no 9, 1975 Priest NE, ZPE 46, 71-2, 1982
Inv. Id P.Mich.inv. 1318
Support/Dimensions 1 papyrus ; 13.5 x 10.5 cm
Condition The text is on the back of two glued-together, unidentified documents, possibly an official tomos synkollesimos or a private file. It is also possible that unrelated documents were pasted together in order to create a surface to receive the Iliad text. In any case, the documnets were arranged in such a way as to preserve legibility; this argues in favor of a tomos or file but does not rule out the other possibility. One of the documents ca. 8.5 cm wide, contains scattered writing b one hand; the other, ca 2 cm wide, contains 3, possibly 4 hands and may be a register of some kind. The two pieces of papyrus are similar in texture and color, both smooth and light-brown. The Iliad text, which is the beginning of a column is written in dark-brown or black ink.

There are numerous stops in evidence, as well three tremata (12, 15, 21) and one breathing mark (13).
