Volume / Number: S / 1718

• London United Kingdom University College, Dept. of Greek and Latin P. 24

Origin uncertain. Found at Hawara, Egypt, in 1887. There is reason to believe, according to expert opinion, that the line repeated on the verso represents Horace, Ars Poetica, 78: ‘Grammatici certant, et adhuc sub iudice lis est.’ (Grammatici quarrel and the case is still undecided)

Script is formal ancient cursive: the forms of A and ꝺ seen here are preserved in later uncial and African half-uncial (cf. CLA 12.1677); B has the peculiar ancient cursive form. To be compared with the Carmen de Bello Actiaco from Herculaneum (CLA 3.385).
