Homer, Iliad IV, 61-72

(Late 2nd century A.D.)

A column from an Homeric text which was written on the back of a tomos sugkollęsimos of reports addressed to Zoilos also called …nos, strategos and dated to the reign of Antoninus Pius. The column covered the back of five of those reports, which were on uniform, tall, narrow strips of papyrus. The hand of the verso is a rather large, rough uncial of the late 2nd century.
