Inv. Id P.Oslo inv. 1615
Support/Dimensions 1 papyrus ; 4.9 x 9.4 cm.
Condition A fragment of medium brown papyrus. The sheet has been irregularly torn at the left- and right-hand side, while the upper and parts of the lower margin have been preserved (1.3 and 2 cm. respectively). Five horizontal folding lines indicate that the letter had been folded before dispatch.
Lines Verso - 9
Recto/Verso Source of description: Verso
Hands The text has been written in black ink against the fibres. The recto side, which is courser in texture and darker in colour, preserves nothing but two ink stains. For all its clumsiness, the hand that has penned the note betrays a certain familiarity with scribal practice. The letter forms, of medium (towards small) module, predominantly rounded and formed neatly at a good pace, exhibit a certain, though not perfectly accomplished, degree of stability. Perhaps written by an apprentice with a scriptorium.

More from Unknown place, province of Egypt

Date 41-68 A.D. (Reign of Claudius or Nero)
