Description

The verso has been used by a poet of Aphrodito, who wrote there a short piece of poetry in honour of Ioannes, dux of Thebaid (c.AD 553). Unfortunately the verso has been badly damaged, the surface of the papyrus is frequently used and the ink, already very faint, has, in many places, become invisible. Belongs to the archive of Dioscoros. See Fournet, Hell�nisme (MIFAO 115) p. 416-417 no. IV 20.
