TY - T1 - Traces of a notarial signature in BGU III 997 - a deliberate removal?

The signature was not transcribed in the original edition since only traces of it survive and the papyrus seems blank and intact at that place. A closer examination reveals that only the upper layer of the papyrus has peeled off. How, when, and why the alteration took place, remains unsolved....
