865-870. Prose Fragments Find an explanation of the colors displayed in the Greek text here.
6 x 2.4 cm.	First century.
The following six small prose fragments remain unidentified, and except in the case of 866 there is good reason for believing them to belong to works which are not extant. The first three seem to be historical, the fourth is perhaps from a commentary ... 866 contains a few letters from the first seven lines of a column. The script is a neat uncial of a distinctly early type, and may be ascribed with confidence to the first century. A mention of the Carthaginians in l. 5 suggests that this fragment also is historical, but the context is quite uncertain.
