Description

Page of codex, of which there remain only two straight strips one from the side of the binding, the other from the free side of the sheet. The verses on top are entirely lost. The lower part of the fragment is, on the contrary, complete. On the recto are verses 494-519, on the verso 528-555. The codex therefore had 36 lines per page. The fragment contains accentuation added later. Belongs to the archive of Dioscoros.
