Euripides, Orestes
Description
A fragment from the middle of a leaf of a codex of Euripides, containing parts of Orestes 53-61 and 89-97, written on thin vellum with brown ink in a round calligraphic uncial hand of probably the 5th century. Elision marks and high stops at the ends of lines are probably due to the first hand: a corrector, who used black ink, has altered the reading in ll. 60 and 91 and added occasional accents and stops. The fragment is too short to have much bearing on the divergences of the mss., but it has a new reading which may be right in l. 61. The verso is in much worse condition than the recto. Found together with P.Oxy. XIII 1623.
