Text, folio 260 (verso), from a Gospel Book with Commentaries

Cleveland Museum of Art

The image shows an aged, open book with yellowed pages. The book is bound on the left side and has a translucent tape strip on the top left corner. The page on the right has brown ink text written in a language that appears to be Greek. There are approximately 35 lines of text on the page, with some words or letters larger than others. The text is written in a flowing script. The page also has some darker spots and stains. A crease runs down the center of the page, and there are signs of wear along the edges. The background behind the book is dark gray.
