Script Commentary |
Script is sloping cursive by an expert scribe written across the fibres: A has three strokes: a straight oblique, a somewhat curving second stroke, and a vestigial transverse (see recto, second letter); B has the old cursive form; the two strokes of C intersect; E has two forms, including the V-shaped; M is made of four straight strokes, sometimes intersecting; S has the half-uncial form; the top of T is straight. On the verso written at right angles to the Latin are four lines of Greek, perhaps an account. |
