Greek Sticheron from Medieval Nubia Praising John the Baptist (Q.I. 1964, 6a Revisited)

Abstract

This article presents a new edition of a fragment of an eleventh-century parchment from Qasr Ibrim (Q.I. 1964, 6a). An inspection of the manuscript led to identification of one of the pieces as a short hymn praising John the Baptist, known from Byzantine liturgical books.
