  • CF has always been a site that welcomes people from different backgrounds and beliefs to participate in discussion and even debate. That is the nature of its ministry. In view of recent events emotions are running very high. We need to remind people of some basic principles in debating on this site. We need to be civil when we express differences in opinion. No personal attacks. Avoid you, your statements. Don't characterize an entire political party with comparisons to Fascism or Communism or other extreme movements that committed atrocities. CF is not the place for broad brush or blanket statements about groups and political parties. Put the broad brushes and blankets away when you come to CF, better yet, put them in the incinerator. Debate had no place for them. We need to remember that people that commit acts of violence represent themselves or a small extreme faction.
  • We hope the site problems here are now solved, however, if you still have any issues, please start a ticket in Contact Us

Here is a link to one of the Tebtunis papyrii:
P.Tebt. 286 UC 1411, "287" Copy of Proceedings of a trial".

What struck me is that in the very first line (below the 'title' on the papyrus), is what appears to be a Noma Sacrum, (a contraction of a Holy Name), in this case Jesus.(?!?)

This large group of papyrii range from 200 B.C. to 200 A.D.

Here is a description of the site and collection:

Anyway, just a bit of curiosity and fun for you.

Or the arabic number 12 that happens to have a line over it...

And yet note the same style of letter (numeral...?)
is found on line 7 letter 3, and line 20, letter 29.

Are these also 'arabic numbers'?

Also, is there a line over any other possible cases of 'numbers'?
