19 small scraps, more or less neatly cut from a literary work. Many of them have Arabic on one side and Syriac on the other, with approximately the same line spacing and occasional use of red ink, suggesting that they belong to the same work or at least were written by the same scribe. The Arabic text on f.14v, one of the larger pieces, mentions idol worship and includes the sentence, "O Sergius, o most beloved of friends. I am abashed of. . . ." Perhaps this is the martyrdom of Sergius and Bacchus? Other pages (including the join P2 + P3 + P15 + P17) seem more liturgical. Needs further examination. ASE
