P.Oxy. 15 1812 19.7 x 13.7
JE47512
Isocrates, Ad Demonicum (5th or 6th century) This practically complete leaf from a papyrus codex is inscribed in a sloping uncial hand, careful and regular. The ink, at the bottom of the verso partially obliterated, is of the characteristic reddish-brown shade. Stops in the middle position only are used. Whether a second hand can be distinguished is doubtful. The few alterations and insertions which occur are similar in style of writing and colour of ink to the body of the text, and must at any rate be practically contemporary. The pages are numbered 17 and 18 respectively, the numbers placed in the top outside corners. There is also evidence of stichometrical figures. About 25 lines per page.
