When the papyrus was purchased, according to the inventory entry made at this time,
a solid mass "fully impreganted by salt crystals, some as large as 3/10 of an inch
in diameter". It was then believed to have written in coptic. After the crystals had
been dissolved, it was found to be the remains of a papyrus codex containing Scholia
minora. Of the 11 extant folios, six are certainly conjugate leaves, and another two
(F. 3 and F. 10) may have been. These eight folios, then form four sheets of the same
quire, apparently the central quire of the codex, to judge from the hemp binding cord
still attached to the central sheet of the quire (F. 3 + F. 10). The exact number
of sheets per quire connot be determined, but it was at least quaternio. No kolleseis
are visible on any of the sheets. |
