Comments on Object The damage to the document makes it difficult to interpret. There characters on the verso could be either Aramaic or Demotic. Because it appears that the stylus was a chisel-tipped pen rather than a brush, it is analyzed as Aramaic. Traces of an illegible palimpsest, recto and verso.
