Physical description
Support
- Description
- A lead sheet in multiple fragments damaged on top, left, and right sides, apparently preserved on bottom side. The upper and lower fragments do not join so the preserved height cannot be known, although it should be greater than ca. 6.6 cm, which is the combined heights of the fragments, since there is no join and the original text must have had at least one more line than is currently preserved.
