Description:
Christian prayer amulet. Translation: May you fear, all who rule over the earth. Know, you nations and peoples, that Christ is our God. For he spoke and they came to being, he commanded and they were created; he put all (people) under our feet and delivered us from the will of our enemies. Our God prepared a sacred table in the desert for the people and gave manna of the new covenant of Christ to eat, the Lord's immortal body and the blood of Christ poured for us in remission of sins. Carbon dating results: The papyrus was produced between 574 and 660 with a margin of certainty of 95.4 %; between 608 and 650 with a margin of 68.2 %.
