Campus dimensions show the width of the first fragment and the combined height of the two fragments. Full character heights vary between 0.7 to 1.7 centimetres; line height varies between 2 and 3 centimetres. 9 lines of text on the the first fragment, the last with some damage at the bottom and mostly covered over with plaster at present. The beginnings of 5 more lines are preserved on the second fragment. There were probably no lines lost between the two fragments, but there may have been additional lines lost at the end. |
