| Summary of Content | This object is kept with Y2, which is similar in size and shape. By anaology, this may be Punic/Phoenician. The document is written in an ink that is not visible in IR. This implies that it is either written in faded red ink, which is highly unlikely for an Aramaic source, especially if it comes from Egypt. No surviving Aramaic document from Egypt uses red ink. Alternatively this is from the first (or later) centuries of the common era, during which it was common to use ink mixtures which are not picked up by IR light. The strokes are also very thin, which implies that this is composed by a Greco-Roman calamus. There is no archaeological or acquisitional context for this object. It is highly likely that it does NOT come from Elephantine. (See Lozachmeur's discussion of the CG "Y" collection.) |
