Contents

Description

To the present day survived only two pieces from one leaf. The surviving texts of John are verses 21:11-14,22-24, they are in a fragmentary condition. The manuscript paleographically had been assigned to the 4th or 5th century (INTF). It was written by irregular hand.

It uses nomina sacra. Name Ιησους (Jesus) is abbreviated to ΙΗΣ (majority of manuscripts used abbreviation ΙΣ). Number "one hundred and fifty-three" is written in abbreviation — ΡΝΓ.

The Greek text of this codex probably is a representative of the Alexandrian text-type.

Text

In John 21:14 omitted word Ιησους (Jesus), just like in Codex Washingtonianus, rest of the manuscripts contain this word, usually with an article (ο Ιησους).

In red colour missing letters.

Location

The manuscript currently is housed at the Papyrology Rooms of the Sackler Library at Oxford with the shelf number P. Oxy. 4806.
