Abstract

The papyrus is light yellow in color and well-preserved. The text of the front side of the papyrus is complete at top and bottom and on the left side. At its lower right it has suffered some losses, which presumably, though not with absolute certainty, correspond in proportion and extent to losses at the left of the reverse-side text. At 3.3 cm. from the left margin of the front page, which generally has horizontal fibers, ends the protocollon with its vertical fibers. Hence the present piece of papyrus was either cut from the beginning of a presumably used roll or was itself the beginning of a roll (cf. CPR V 2.21 introd.; P.Mich. XIV 680 introd.; E.G. Turner, The Terms Recto and Verso, Pap. Brux. 16 (Brussels 1978), 20ff.). The writing begins immediately to the right of the joint, except for the secondary addition of the date Payni 2 which is written on the left margin, evidently as an insert before line 21.
