Description: 
These few verses from the second and third chapters of Deuteronomy in the Septuagint version are inscribed on the lower part of a leaf out of a papyrus book. The leaf is made up of a sheet that has been previously used, the two pieces being stuck together face to face, therefore the literary writing on both pages is technically on the verso. Written in a large and roughly formed uncial.
