Origin probably Egypt. Believed to have been found at Oxyrhynchus.

Parts of what appear to be three identical lines survive on one side, parts of two on the other. The bold, expert lettering of the larger writing recalls Pompeian mural inscriptions, though individual letters are broader. The smaller writing shows early Roman cursive forms written calligraphically: the oblique tail of q plunges down to the right; the shoulder of r is a bold sinuous down-stroke; u has the form of an open roundish v.
