Comments on Handwriting | Most date the text to between 400-200 BCE based on paleography. The writers pen-stance is nearly perpendicular to the surface, which is not a common feature of earlier Aramaic hands. The letters all bear the same general shape of 5th century hands, but the L and S show a progression toward what is sometimes called the Jewish cursive script. That the names are Greek, Semitic, and Egyptian with no clear parallels in 5th cent. Elephantine texts. This suggests that this text does not come from that time or location. No name contains the theophoric element -yah. The abbreviations are probably all Semitic, which is rather difficult to explain if one assumes a Ptolemaic context. | |
