DLL no. 33936
eBL: “[O]bv. currently unplaced aside from oi′14′, incipit quoted in BM.40090+ r. iii 9.” A number of shallow surface flakes have fallen off of the surface. In comparison to other parallel texts, K 7817 shows shorter lines. Da Riva and Wasserman 2025, 168–177 order of obverse/reverse follows that of the British Museum photo (as appears in the photo of CDLI P397305), while the eBL takes the opposite order. In any case, the fragment is very flat, so it is difficult to guess the curvature.
CDLI no. P397305
