So I heard the letters are Aramaic. Do we have an Aramaic scholar on board?
I need some serious help. I acquired a papyrus role from an old library founded in the 19th century. This is not bazaar crap, but I have no old about it's age. Please help & advice. If ancient, further analyses might be justified. @IslamicOrigins #arabic
