Add MS 41203 A-F

ELEVEN FRAGMENTS of wooden tablets, forming four complete leaves and the halves of two others; covered with white or light-coloured plaster, and written in ink on both sides, in Greek, mainly with metrological and chronological tables, one of the latter mentioning Eusebius. One tablet (A) contains a list of i.e. pairs or words of which the individual letters, regarded as figures, add up to the same totals. Probably from the Thebaid, as Antinoopolis is mentioned. The name in A recto, 1. 8, perhaps that of Fl. Sabinus Antiochus Damonicus, Count of the Sacred Consistory and commander of the troops in the Theban limes, mentioned in a tablet from Achmîm published by G. Zereteli (Aegyptus, ix, 1928, pp. 113-128), who identifies him with the Damonicus who died fighting the Vandals in A.D. 468, suggests that the date is the 5th cent. Tablet A is to be published in Mizraim, vol. iii. Average size of complete tablet 4.5/8 in. x 6 in. v cent. Found in Egypt.
