Script Commentary

Script is early half-uncial: one form of A has the pointed bow as in the Epitome of Livy (CLA 2.208 and 12.**208); has the later half-uncial form; i is long after ; the middle stroke of N tends to sag; r is square-shouldered and goes below the line; the upper stroke of resembles an oblique elongated comma, a feature also seen in the Terence papyrus, Pap. Oxy. 2401 (CLA 12.1717), in the Formula Fabiana (CLA 8.1042 and 10.**1042), and still retained in the sixth century by one hand of the Justinian Digests in Florence (CLA 3.295) for prefatory matter.
