From what we know of ancient scribal practices, a typical secretary could write roughly 85 lines per hour, but the number of hours a secretary could write in an average day would be limited by a variety of factors:
Allowing secretaries time to prepare the papyrus sheets, score the lines on the sheets, mix the ink, etc. (we should not forget to factor in time to travel, the inevitable interruptions, and the amount of daylight), it seems wise to suggest no more than five hours of writing per day.
- If 1 Corinthians had 908 lines, how many days would it have taken to make one copy? (You may refer to the chart above.)
