Summary

Fragment of a page written in transitional script and containing 8 lines of 2 columns (one full column and one partial on each side). The text, from a legend about young Christian men who hid in a cave outside Ephesus to escape Roman persecution and emerged three hundred years later, mentions heretics who deny the resurrection of the dead and elsewhere refers to the "city of the Ephesians." The recto of the fragment contains text from chapters 8 (partial column) and 9-10 (full column); the verso, chapters 11 (full column) and 12 (partial column).

Notes

• The text in this fragment is extremely close to that of Brussels KBR MS 8550-51, denoted D in Beitrag zur Visionsliteratur und Siebenschläferlegende des Mittelalters, edited by Michael Huber (Volume 1, Metten, Germany: 1903; identified by Mark Thakkar).
