Comments on Handwriting | The Demotic is written with thick reed, the Greek with a thin calamus. The latter draws near the unciale (Wilcken in O. Cairo Cat) XXXX check REED | |
Comments on Text Layout | Exterior 7 l. Narrow, partly unsteady line pitch. The demotic text was placed onto the upper half ofthe pot sherd, without margins on top and at the line beginners. The Greek was written much more carefully and was placed directly beneath the Demotic. This text has a wider line pitch and was written with smaller and thinner letters. The lower third of the potsherd surface remains uninscribed. Interior, 2 l. Here 2 mostly faded lines are existant. Wilcken in O Cairo Cat thought abouth them as beeing Greek, Gallazi in O Cairo mentiones that they are most likely Demotic. They are too faded to provide any readings. | |
