PGM Christliches 20 - Alexandrian Liturgy of St. Basil

A single, irregularly shaped fragment of papyrus featuring dark Greek uncial script. The text belongs to a Christian liturgy, likely repurposed within a magical or devotional context as an amulet. A visible staurogram—a symbol merging the Greek letters tau and rho—appears on the left side of the fifth line of text.

This fragment is part of the Papyri Graecae Magicae (PGM) corpus, specifically the Christian magical texts. It demonstrates the historical syncretism between early Christian liturgy and the broader Greco-Egyptian magical tradition, where sacred texts were utilized for their perceived talismanic power.
