1. Papyrus 2359
This is an interim version of our Archives and Manuscripts Catalogue while we continue to recover from a cyber-attack
Papyrus sheet badly damaged and shredded, with traces of writing running across the fibres on the front, mostly blank. Four clay seals survive. Mounted on cardboard in a glass frame.
