Re the photo: the nice straight ...Interesting post. Re the photo: the nice straight edges seem a little suspicious to me. If it is a forgery it would be on genuine ancient papyrus cut from something else (as Simonides did with forged NT docs in the 19th C). What appears on the photo seems compatible with that, although clearly one would need to check the original for evidence of cutting. <br />Secondly, this could be the photo, but the writing seems a little consistent. Most papyri survive in the ground or in a cave and bear marks of damage, and this usually includes the actual writing, but this looks pretty clear.Peter M.
