Description

Twelve verses are missing between the two sides. The column would have measured approximately 22 cm in height without the margins. Overall the leaf would have been of average height (see the discussion on no. IV below). This text is papyrus 698a in West's 1998 edition of the Iliad, selected manuscript readings from which are included in the commentary below (MP3 0814.013 = LDAB 7337). The text is the vulgate throughout and records a mistake shared with a MSS in v. 501 (see note).
