Digging through my computer, I found this image, named PK8r.jpg.

enter image description here

I assume P stands for "Papyrus" and K for "Köln", but I couldn't find it online, neither on Kölner Papyri nor as a random online image. I am guessing r stands for "recto", so that would be the recto of some P. Köln 8, except there are tons of P. Köln 8 if 8 is taken as a volume number, and apparently none (numbers start at 50 here in the P. Köln series!). So is that "name" correct, or is there another number I'm missing after the 8? And is it known what the papyrus contains? I mean, has it been linked to something else with more text that is identifiable? With the few letters here, I doubt it is possible to conclude anything about the content from the papyrus alone…

    BTW, a Google reverse image search is usually a good way to go for this kind of thing

You can find it here. Tricky, tricky, you have to add the zeroes in front of it to pull it up.

    @MickG It also gave me an error at one point. I don't think it was your computer, but the website instability.
