Inscription
- Layout
- The top of the sheet is damaged and the first line of text is not well preserved, but does appear to be the first line of the document. The right margin is entirely preserved. The bottom of the sheet is damaged but the final preserved line of text does appear to be the last line of the document. The left margin is unknown, and it is an open question how much text is lost on the left side (see below in commentary). The text wraps and several words are continued fron one line onto the next, breaking roughly between syllables (Lines 4, 5).
