clear, middle brown paper of good quality

Evidence

"The text is written on a clear, middle brown paper of good quality. The original cutting lines are preserved on all four sides. There are fifteen horizontal folding lines and one vertical one."

Remarks

The paper support for P.Cair No. 408 measures 17.5 x 13 cm (p. 120). It exhibits significant folding history, with fifteen horizontal and one vertical folding lines, suggesting it was rolled and folded for ritual disposal or deposition as part of the magic act (p. 108). Although the exact date of the paper remains obscure, it is situated within a broader Egyptian tradition where paper became a widespread writing support from the tenth century onwards (p. 108).
