| Palaeography: | CISP: The letteriing is Insualr half-uncial. The B, R and H all appear to have wedge-shaped finials. The D has an ascender which bends to the left over an open heart-shaped bow. The third O is slightly angular and may even have been lozenge-shaped. The Rs are majuscule and like CLMAC/180 the U's are V-shaped. The H is minuscule and the Ms are minuscule. The Plate in Petrie/1872, Plate XXXVII, shows a superscipt I above the O in CORBRIU. It is uncertain what purpose this might have had. The plate also shows an interpunct between CORBRIU and CHRUMM to show word division. |
