Collection Area:

Languages:
Greek and Latin
Date Range:
2nd century-4th century
Extent:

Fragments of a papyrus roll, additional portions of which have been published as PSI XII 1292; with writing on both sides. On the front, the text is arranged in eight columns of c. 27 lines each, except for col. III having 28 lines of variable width, since lines are aligned just at their beginning (left side) but not at the end (right side). This makes it impossible to reconstruct exactly the intercolumnar space, perhaps of c. 6–7 cm. On the whole, the unwritten margins of the roll have an average measure of c. 4 cm, whereas the overall height of each sheet of the roll is c. 26 cm. All columns except for col. VII are partially preserved. The papyrus was reused on the back.

There survive twelve broad columns with 23-27 lines to the column, numbered at the top, written across the fibres, the other way up in relation to the text on the front.

Housed in six glass frames.
