• Oxford United Kingdom Bodleian Library MS. Lat. class. g. 5 (P) [S.C. 33013]

Origin uncertain, presumably Egypt. Part of the text clearly corresponds to Ulpian, another part to the edict itself of AD 193. The Greek cursive text on the verso is assigned by experts to roughly the middle of the third century.

Script is calligraphic cursive sloping to the right: b has the ancient cursive form; d consists of an oval topped by a straight oblique, resembling later uncial; the form of e has Greek echoes; the tail of G turns to the right and is on the line; the foot of L extends obliquely below the line; M is made of four straight strokes; shrunken o occurs often, a Greek symptom; p is cursive with the bow hardly formed; q has a tiny bow, its tail swung down to the right—the archaic form; r has two forms, one cursive, the other virtually uncial; the final stroke of s and the top of t are straight; u occurs cup-shaped.
