Description:
|
Fragments 478 [a-c] are from the same codex of Virgil's 'Aeneid'. Each page contained twelve to thirteen verses. The height of a full page would have been 360 mm and the width 240 mm. The recto precedes the verso. The Latin and Greek translation are in parallel columns. The Latin has been translated into Greek, word for word, with no thought to the context. Acquired in 1920.
