Abstract
This article presents a new case of a Qumran fragment,11Q22 fragment 6, employing red ink, a very rare feature so far. While the word is fragmentary, the red ink was plausibly for a nomen sacrum. This find confirms indirectly the hypothesis of the editio princeps that fragment 1 of the same scroll, which is lost, also used red ink for a nomen sacrum. The rest of the paper contextualizes this finding.
