I. THEOLOGICAL FRAGMENTS

1351. LEVITICUS xxvii.

This small fragment comes from a vellum leaf which contained double columns and when complete must have been nearly square in shape. It is inscribed with upright uncials of medium size and the regular Biblical type; though somewhat heavy, they are well formed and probably not later than the fourth century. A new paragraph is marked by a projection of a couple of letters into the margin, as well as by a paragraphus a stroke used to mark a change of section (l. 6; cf. e.g. 1169). At the ends of lines an unusual unevenness was permitted. The quality of the text is not apparent from so short a specimen; a minor agreement with a few cursive MSS. is noticeable in l. 15.
