Papyrus 113 (12)

Title:

Christian Texts (P.Lond. I 113.12(a-c), TM 65192-65194), Petition (P.Lond. I 113.12(d)r., TM 38887) and Accounts (SB I 5299, TM 38383)

Scope & Content:

113.12(a) (P.Lond. I 113.12(a), P.Lond.Lit. 238, TM 65192, LDAB 6434, Van Haelst 712): Fragment of a leaf from a papyrus codex presumably containing a metrical homily praising martyrs; on the recto, six lines were erased and corrected; the ink on the back is faded at places; assigned to the sixth or seventh century.

113.12(b) (P.Lond. I 113.12(b), P.Lond.Lit. 227, TM 65193, LDAB 6435, Van Haelst 571(2)): Papyrus fragment from the upper part of a column, written on both sides, each having parts of 17 lines; it contains an apocryphon concerning Jacob and Joseph; assigned to the sixth or seventh century. Presumably this is the same work as Papyrus 113.13(a), possibly from the same manuscript, but the hand is different.

113.12(c) (P.Lond. I 113.12(c), P.Lond.Lit 247, TM 65194, LDAB 6436, Van Haelst 945): Two fragments of a leaf from a papyrus codex, presumably belonging to the same column, but at an uncertain distance apart; the larger fragment has 13 and 14 incomplete lines on recto and verso respectively, and the smaller 11 incomplete lines on each side; containing a hymn, assigned to the sixth or seventh century.

113.12(d)recto (P.Lond. I 113.12(d), CPJ III 507, TM 38887): A petition, broken at the bottom, addressed to a certain Georgius, head manager of an estate, from Cosmas, who has been imprisoned by a Jewish creditor for 18 months. Cosmas offers to leave the city and promises the required guarantors.

113.12(d)verso (SB I 5299 TM 38383): A fragmentary document, presumably an account of a church dedicated to 42 martyrs in the Arsinoite nome; some of the people mentioned in the text occur in other documents from the same nome: e.g. Cyrus of line 6 is also in Stud.Pal. VIII 1111. The text may be dated to the sixth century.
