Script Commentary |
Script is regular, restrained cursive of the ancient type in a hand conscious of writing a book (to be compared with Pap. Oxy. 2088, CLA 12.1714): b has the ancient cursive form; e mostly resembles an inclined v; the tail of g turns to the left; i-longa occurs often initially, also medially without significance; the foot of l extends downward obliquely; m occasionally is angular but more often is rounded and made without lifting the pen; o is very small; the top of p is a straight stroke; the tail of q descends to the right; the top of t is mostly to the left of the upright; u often rises above the foot line, especially when attached to the following letter. |
