4Q148 (4QPhylactère U): Another Amulet from Qumran?

| Summary: | This contribution is the first attempt at deciphering a miniature opistograph 4Q148 included in Józef T. Milik's DJD 6 edition of tefillin and mezuzot from Qumran Cave 4. It proposes that the partially folded recto of this tiny fragment contains a non- scriptural text. A handful of legible words may suggest a prayer. Its verso, inscribed by a different hand, appears to be a legal text, evoking monetary amounts, perhaps related to inheritance. Folded and fastened similarly to tefillin, 4Q148 might have been a legal document re-used to produce an amulet. |
