Abstract: 

This contribution focuses on fragment 2 of 2QRuthb, which attests several difficulties from a material, palaeographic, and textual perspective. The analysis proposes a hypothesis regarding its composition and the identification of the text. This fragment may be considered a textual witness of Ruth 3:10–11 and it attests a textual variant, which agrees with the Septuagint against the Masoretic Text.
