A wax tablet displaying a child’s Greek homework from 1,800 years ago is to be put on show at the British Library, according to the following report by dailymail.co.uk
The ancient tablet, which features remarkable examples of handwriting, spelling exercises and times tables, has been in storage for the past 40 years.
It will now go on display at the British Library as part of the Writing: Making Your Mark exhibition between April 26 and August 27, 2019.
The homework, discovered in Egypt, shows two lines of Greek carved into the wax with a stylus by a child believed to be eight or nine, the Telegraph noted.
