Abstract

THIS small fragment (olim 4Q576) is light brown in colour, and the ink is well preserved. It measures 4 cm by 2.5 cm. The writing is legible and preserves portions of five lines of text. The distance between each of lines 1-3 is 5 mm, while lines 3-5 are spaced 3 mm apart. The letters are 2-3 mm in height. The orthography is full, as evidenced by the use of waw as a mater lectionis three times ('ili'?~ once and '?i:, twice).
