Description

The document was written by an unknown copyist. The measurements of the fragment are 334 by 132 mm. It contains fragment of a lost comedy (Perikeiromene). The text is written in a round uncial hand. There is a tendency to separate words.^[2] The fragment contains the conclusion of Menander's Perikeiromene (The Girl with her Hair Cut Short).^[3]

The manuscript was revised by by a second hand, probably a contemporary, whose handwriting is generally cursive. The second hand is responsible for the punctuation by a dots.^[4]

There are a few mis-spellings (e.g. ΕΥΑΓΕΛΙΑ in 18 line) and the wrong insertion of two iotas adscript in 45 line. The occurrence of the Attic forms in a manuscript of the Roman period are remarkable.^[4]

It was discovered by Grenfell and Hunt in 1897 in Oxyrhynchus, together with a large number of documents dated in the reigns of Vespasian, Domitian, and Trajan. The text was published by Grenfell and Hunt in 1899.^[2] The manuscript was re-exemined by Gerald M. Browne in 1974.^[3]
