Script Commentary

Script is regulated cursive of the early Roman type, probably used for inexpensive books (to be compared with Pap. Oxy. 2103, CLA 12.1716): the tail of G is a short stroke to the right and on the line; i-longa frequent, used indifferently; the middle stroke of N is a straight line and tops both verticals, the whole resembling Greek π; the bow of q is reduced to a line with the tail swung obliquely to the right; u has two forms, one broad and one v-shaped which is less frequent; thickenings at the tops of i, l, and u; the forms of a, b, r, and s are characteristic.
