I gather it must just be a collection of parts of senteces, not what you would call a "fragment" but just several of them (the papyrus does not seem to contain whole lines, as I see it). But I may be wrong. Or not.

- ijk 13y agoSuper common in the 1st century, since it's a form of Joshua. Not that it would have any bearing on this document, with its vastly later date. http://www.slate.com/articles/news_and_politics/explainer/2008/12/happy_birthday_dear_yeshua_happy_birthday_to_you.html http://www.slate.com/articles/news_and_politics/explainer/20...
