The Nash Papyrus includes not only the according to its Sept. version

end with the beginning of the Shema (it is fragmented at the bottom which
is presumably why only the first two verses are found). This is generally
accepted as reflecting the statement found in the Mishnah respecting the
daily recitation of the Decalogue followed by the Shema.
