More sheepskin

Membrane two of the payroll. Some of you may notice this looks rather like membrane one: this is because I forgot to take photos of the detached fragments of the first two membranes, so I'm using membrane three of the main roll as a substitute. Clear? Clear as a bell.


The below includes Professor Mackman's notes.

C 47/2/1/15

 [The top of this fragment is also badly damaged, and only fragments survive of the first few lines of text. The fragment actually comprises the foot of one membrane and the head of the next, stitched together, and there is a gap of 2-3cm of blank parchment across the join.]
