Text, folio 167 (recto), from a Gospel Book with Commentaries

Cleveland Museum of Art

Yellowed, aged, and worn parchment page from a book, likely a religious text, with visible signs of deterioration. The page displays brown ink writing in a language, likely Greek, in an ancient or medieval script. A darker brown stain and several smaller purple stains are on the parchment. The parchment edges are rough and frayed, and a darker horizontal line runs across the top. A large number 6 is written on the page. The right edge of the page appears to be slightly raised. The background behind the parchment is dark gray.
