Written probably in Egypt. Purchased in London from a Cairo dealer in 1931. The script of the Greek, according to expert opinion, may be assigned to the first half of the third century.

Script of the Latin is rather uncalligraphic ancient Roman cursive: a is made of two oblique strokes; b has the ancient cursive form; c is made of two strokes, the upper rising well above the line; the upper curve and hasta of e form a c-like stroke; m is made without lifting the pen, with the second peak diminished; the form of N approaches Greek π; o is shrunken.
