For the time being, it remains unknown if sentences can be reconstructed. Even so, whatever can be recovered will yield important historical information about the people of Petra and, in this case especially, about their economic and social situation during the early Byzantine period. The Future ACOR is requesting the financial support of the academic community and the private sector to see that these papyri receive immediate attention. On the basis of the work described above, it appears that the inner portions of the scrolls are salvageable by modern conservation and restoration techniques. However, the rolls are extremely fragile and in need of extensive conservation measures.
All donations are welcome.
