Accession: P.Penn. Museum inv.E02797
Find spot: Oxyrhynchos, Egypt approx. site location
Period: 61 CE
Date: 61 CE
Date range: 61 CE – 61 CE
Materials: ['16.0 x 22.3cm together; the left fragment is about 6.5cm wide and 12cm tall, and the main fragment is about 11cm wide. The two pieces overlap at the join by about 1.5cm. Another mutilated document (parts of 15 lines, untranscribed here) is gummed to the left margin of the main document, and is damaged at the top, left and bottom. This makes it appear that there is a vertical crease where the two pieces overlap. One line of writing appears on the other side of the main document perpendicular to the writing on the first side. All the writing is along the fibers. The main document is damaged at the top left, top and bottom, and is missing its right side.']
