• Superior document: Squeezes
• Series: Squeezes
• Physical Description: 1 sheet
• Notes: This squeeze survives in mediocre condition. When first made it would have preserved the text of Lines 3-16. In its current state, however, only small portions of Lines 4-7, 10, and 12-14 can be read. The remainder of the text can, however, be restored on the basis of other suqeezes taken from the same inscription.
