Recovered text

Philodemus, On Gods (Περὶ θεῶν), Book 8 · Greek

The scroll's title and author were recovered, identifying it as a work by the Epicurean philosopher Philodemus, specifically On Gods, Book 8. Reading the title of a still-rolled scroll reveals what it contains before any of its body columns are studied.

⚠️ About 20% is virtually unrolled; the title and author are secure, but the body text is still being recovered.
