- Description
- Lower part of a plaque with complete lower margin and the lower parts of both side margins preserved. The SMB inventory includes the following description: ‘Bruchstück einer koptischen Inschrift. Untere Hälfte mit 7 Zeilen von denen die oberen 3 ganz abgerieben sind’. The drawing made by Lepsius, the only illustration of the piece at our disposal, shows only the four last lines, however.
