Clally. since so much can transpIre between th~ process of proVlding a
trnnsciiption of multiple manüscripts (many ofwhich are fragmented)
and typesetting th~e transcriptions accumtely. In short, books dcruing
with manuscript information must be revised. '$uch was the dse with
the critica! apparatus of the United' Bible Societies' Creek New Testa-
ment, third edition. which then became "'the third, eorrQcted edition"
(and even now stands as "the fourth. cOITected edition"), ;¡,nd such was
thc
case with the critica! apparatus Gf the 26t6 eilition of Ne5t1e~A'1and's
NOTlum Testamentum Graece, wH-ich was he::lVily revised for the 27th
edition. .,
. We received mon)l suggestions for various revisions oE T/¡e Complete

Introtluction

This book pro':"des ..tr:::lllScriPti~~ of sixty-ruhe c)f tbe earü¿t New Td-
tament manuscripts ~p to and including ~J:ilS, tqc: most reccntly pub-
lished e:uly Ne~ Tes~ment manuscript. AH ofthe man~scripts are
dated from the e:u1y second century te the beginning ofthe founh (A4l. 100-
300). We chose A.D. 300 as our tenninus ad quem t9ecause Nciv Testa-
ment manuscript production .c hanged radicaUy after the persecution
under Diocletian (A.D. 303-3({S) and especially after Constantine de-
clared Christianity to be
aUegal ireligion in the empire. Many of these
manuscripts are I'I:~ly two hund.red years e:ulier than the well-known
l unciaIs codex Vaticanus and codéx Sinaiticus. These early .manu-
. scripts. containing about two-th.irds of the New Testament text, were
discovered (most in "the rwentieth cellWry), di~bursed to various muse-
ums throughout the world. and subsequent1y published in transcrip-
tiona! form in various books and journals (with editorial comments in
severa! dijTerent languages). Since it,is ex,eeedingly difficult for most in-
dividuals'to observe, the actual mañuscripts or even see photl)~hs!
let alone colleet the editio princeps of e:lch manuscript, om goal has
been to publish a fresH" transcription of these manuscripts in onc vol-
_ U D l e and thereby provide students. scholars. and translators with easier •

Vesuvius), and far che Dead Sea Scrolls it is A.D. 68 (the d::úe the Qumran:

house (in existence fro¡n A.D. 222 tq 235) ne:::t.r the discovery site was de~
stroyed when an embánkment was hoilt. The papyrus manuscrip'~ to

Handwriting Analysis 11 • ¡ . ,.

Paleographeri have bet!n able to-distinguisn four major kinds of .

¡ handwriting. C!tl.cc. of which n:veals sO!.neihíng abollt th~ tmining (or
" lack thereof) oE th.: copyist who 'pt"oduccd it. The four types are as
follo~s: .

J. ~:tn~!~~en~. Thi.s hand\vn~g usually displays Oln inel-
2. Docu.me,itary: the work ~f a, lit~~t6 w'rite~ who has ;lad éxpc:o- I
ende in preparing documents'. This has also been called "chan-
l' .cerly handwriting" (prominent in the peri,od A.O. 200-225). It
1was ~ed by official scribes in public administration. .
3. Refonned documentary: (be work of a literate writet who' had
experience in preparing documents and in copying works of lit- ~
erarure. Ojten, th4; han~ attempts to imitate the work of a pro-
fessional but does not fully achieve the professiooallook.
. 4. Pro{essional: the work of·a profcssional scribe, These \yriflngs
display the craftsmanship of what is commonIy called a "book
h:::md~ OF "lite-rary hand" and leave telltale farl<s of profession-
alism- such as stichoi markings (the taUytng oE tbe number of
lines. according to wruch a professional scribe would be pa!d),

Three handwriting styles of me early period ofChristianity are wor-

tbe "Roman uncial," the second is caUed the "bibücal uncial," and me
third is namce tAe "decor.\ted. rounded uncia!'''
.. ) The Ronzan Uncia1
This style of handwriting ~ very similar to the biblical uncial (dis-

The papyrus manuscripts are among the mast imp,o rtant witnesses
for reconstructing the original te;tt of che New Testament. It ts"not the
material on which they are written (papyrus) that makes-tbem 's o valu·
able, but the date when they were written. Scveral of the most signifi·
cant p<wyri date from the middle of the second century. These manu·
scripts, therefore, provide the carlicst direct witness to the New
Testament autographs. Among the ext:mt NeW Testament papyrus
manuscripts, three groups are worthyof mention: the Oxyrhynchus Pa·
pyri, the Chester Beatty/Michigan Papyri, and the Bodmer Papyri.
. Beginning in 1898, Grenfell and Hunt .:liscovered thousands oE papy·
rus fragments in the andent rubbish heaps or"O¡c.Yrhynchus. Egypt.
This site yielded ~olumes of papyrus fragments cont.:rining all sorts of
written material (literature, business aI!d legal contracts, letters, etc.)

script fragment twen:ty years removed frem rhe :lufograph. ,
No other New Tcs;ta:me9t manuscript has been ~igned a date p~or

18 find that Kim's daling of~46 and Thiede's da ting of1p641ip67 are
probably too ear~y. Paleogr.lphic considcrations suggest that 1J)46 and
!p4~64/i'p67 can be dated to the middle sccond century. Hu.nger's-dat-
ing of 1P66 to around A.D. 150 se~rns quite plausible. As would be ex-
pected, m:lny paleogr.::tphers will not agree on these dates because of the
subjectivity ¡nvolved in cornparing one manu~cn:pt \vith anothcr: All
things considered, it is safest to allow for a rolOg:e of about twer:lty-five
to fifty ye~ when dating manusCrlpts. The dates on e"ither side of an
assigned r.lOge can usually be defended by a~ppcaling to other manu-
scnpts whose ~tyles are similar. In~a. few inst?-nces. byc9mparing them

This refers to largé uncialletters. each stroked sepamecly. $.0 as not to' ,r-: *

cursi ves). The te;:n biblical majuscule does. not apply only to biblical
~exts; it \Vas a tem first coined by Grenfell and Hunt to describe the
handwriting of certain biblidi texts-and thcn was extended to ,any
kind or manuscript displaying thal kind of lIand. whether b'i blical or

sloping strokes coming in between. In lhis .style, rectangular strokes

;. P-G. Cavallo. in his magestcrial wo'rk. -Richerche sulla Maiuscola Bib-
¡ica. malees a strong case for this style emerging in the middle to late
second century A.D. u Among lhe severa! manuscripts Cavallo cites for
making his ::lssessment. he pays special attention to P. Oxy. 661 as the .
oldest extant example. This man1tscript is dated with gre¡u certainty to
the second hd.f of the second ceI'l:fUIY. With respect to the dating of P.
Oxy. 661. Grenfell and Hunt said chat on the verso of P. Oxy. 66"1 is a
cursive hand "which is not laterthan che thii-d century. and quite like1y
to fall within the second. The tc.xt ofrecto [P. Oxy. 661] then can be as·
signcd withlittle chancc of error to the Second half ofthe seconu cen-
tury." c:ivallo cites other m::lnuscripts belonging to the same era (the
, larter part of the ;;econd century) as also displaying the biblic::ll uncial.

the past 100 years or so, scholars atte'Ppted to classify them according
to their textual affinities and textual charactero Since three basic c:J.te·
gories were already established in the nineteenth centulj', scholars in
the twentieth century attempted to ph,1cC the papyri into these catego~
rieso These c:J.tegories are known as .. Alexandrian," "Westem." amI.
"Byza.ntine." Since every standard handbook on textual criricism con·
otains a discussion of these categories, there is no need for elaborationo'
What nec:.ds to be said for our purposes °is whar schobrs h:J.ve attempted
to do in categorizin" the papyri and what we have done in indicating
the te.'Ctual character of the manuscripts in this volume.
Forstaht".,r5, the "Byzantiné category can b~ eliÍninatedo None of the
carly papyri are Byzantine. bccause they anted:J.te the Byzantine pe-
riod. If sorne of them nappen to dispby soIlle Byzantine qU:J.lities (such
_ as expansion a~d harmonizaJic-n), these manuscripts simply display
scribal tendendes manifcst in fuIl duriog the'Byzantine era. The "West- .
em" category is'hlso problema tic inasnuch as most scholars now agree
that it rea.lly designares nothing more than a popular, non~Alex::mdrian
te.'Ct. Thus, \Ve are le~ with one identifiable category- Alcxandrian. to
which moSt modero scholars now add a 'second , which is called the
. Caesarean text, and a third, which is caBed tbe "D-text" (Le., mana-
scripts related to Code."\: Bezac;....:..D).

Phrsical Featu:.es
Accompanying the first chapter 'o f Matthew is a small portian of
what must have been a flyleaf cover, with wri ting only on the outside
sheet. The ex:t:mt letters :lre wñtten in a slighdy different hand than
wnat appears in the text of Matthew 1. Contrnry to O'C:l.l.laghan's con-
.jecturc, the letters probably do not represent.Matt. 2!14:becausl! the-
writing is in a differeiu hand, antl ttic: greater margih al?ov~ the three
broken Iines distinguishes thein froro the text oE Matthew. Rather,
. they may have been part oE a title, as noted by GrenEell and Hunt. Or

carne'trom the same codex. Speaking ofl}:l4, 1})~4, Fd \f)67, he wr;ote:

Acaaemy. Ten years later, in rus publication Tite Birtlt of the Code.r;,. he
still affirmed that 1))4, 1}:)641 and 1}:)67 are parts oE the .s;ame Gbspel h,.

In the 19'65 article about new papyrus m",nus'c ripts of the Ne{v Tes·

to the same codex as 1}:l64 and 1}:l67. The only hcsitancy Aland had in af·
firming a complete identification is that the color of 1})64 was ml,lch
Iighter than that of \f)4. Otherwise, with respect to al! other paleo· :..,
;.graphic features, Aland noted that tp64~6 7 bears a r~markable similar·

also:i.dentified!p4 as probably belonging to the same manuscript asl}:l64

Provenance of ~
A code'C m:muscript conraiI1i~g two tre~tises by Philo, with portio~
oE Matthl\w and Luke used for me bindidg, was discovered in Captes
(modem name, Qiftl. sgypt, on the east bank of the N¿le. by Vincent
$cheil during his expedition to Upper Egypt in 1889. Jean MereH de-
scribed the circumstances of this find:

Scheil told~c: last lun; that. in 1891, havir:g purcho.scd in Lu.'Cora codcx
induaing two treatises oE philQ of Ale.'Cmdri2.. he was forrunate to Eind the
fr.J.gmcnts of our biblical papyrus. · f
The papyrus w:ls found at Coptas (Uppcr Egypt) in 1889. Sincc it w:l.S
obviously considercd at [he time [prior to thc Dioclcti:;m persecution] to
,.It-:;""zbe-something-vo:v-va1u.ablc•..-it-:-otas.cnclosed. =mc:l.cc;mc~ah:d in a nich~.
(The hol1ow souncl 'of the thick hi&h ';'ali;'t this ,pohli'\\r.iS nc;it..~vórthy.nii ~.,, ' =-=--.,'"
opening trus arca, one found in this sccret place the two treatises o¡¡;P~lo
of Alcxandria. The entire document, in :J. wcll,known format , almost
square, in octavo Arabic books. \Vas bou nd together in :deather cover,
with a small tongue añd cprd, also in leather, wrapped around lhe cover.
In the hiding place, the book must have been comprcssed in me space, the
morta. was encnJsted on the outside; the pages were tighuy pressed
togcther in a mass :lnd, in addition. they wcre also fustened to ~ach other
by a quantity of ~al1 gr.UllS of salt, produced by:ln andent condensation
occun;ing in me vegetal. tissuc.
Afie. lhe forty-fourth sheet, in lhe fonn of a wail, 1 believe, and in order
f ' 10 fill lhe space i?rovidcd by the cove¡;, there were several fr.:tgments1of
sheeu. stuck together, one of them ·containing the Ka'tQ J.LaeeatoV and the
others having the'fra.gments of St. Luke,' ~
. } ,

AcC'.ording to Ro1?e~ts , 1}:l4.was !lscd as stuffing for the binding of "a

codex of Philo, written in the later third century and fouhd in ajar
. which had becn walled up in a hause at Coptos."9Verylikely, the owner
af tbis manuscript "concealed it with the intemion of removing it from
: its hiding-place when danger had passed, either when Captas was be-
• sieged and s~cked by Dioc1etÍan in A.D. 292 'or la ter [303] in his reign
during the last and severest of the persecutio'ns."IO

compariso~ of the two m'anuscripts confirms the rdno.rka~le similarity f ~

of the further de'!clopment of this type of hand convinces him that ~6 7 M

manuscripts be dated ~ore accuratdy,20 Thus he is ñrm in his c¡iaring
oflp67to the late second centui'y.

Barbara AJand calJ "normal" (Le., a relatively accurate text manifesting

a normal amount of error and idiosyncrasy).J
Grenfcll and Hunt dated 1J.)5 to the period between 11.0. 200 and 300,
This dating was heavily influenced by the notion that the Christian
codex did not exist before the third century. Grenfell and Hunt said,
''The handwriting is a round, upright uncial of medium size, better
formed than that of thc Sto Matthew fragmcnt (!PI], but, like ¡t, of an
informal, scrni.litcrary type. " In m y opinion,IP5 should be dated to the
early third centul)',

fPS was unearthcd at Oxyrhynchus in two separate pOltions by Gren·

feH and Hunt. The first portion contains John 1:23-31 . 33-40 on ene
page (front and back) and Joho 20:11-17. 19-20.22-25 on anotherpage
(frent and back}-probably from lhe first and last sheets of a manll-
script containing only the Gospel of J ohn. This portion was published
in volume 2 of The Oxyrhynchus Papyri in 1899 and designated P. Oxy.
208. The second portion, containing John 16: 14-30, was nol published
until1922, O1ppcaring in volume 15 of Tite Oxyrltynchus Papyri and 101-
beledP_ Oxy_178L
Aftcr examining the first portion, GrenfelJ and Hunt said. "The text
is a good one, and appears lo have affinities with that of codex Sinaiti-
cus, with which the papyrus agrecs in severa] readings not found else-
where." The agreement of~5 with ¡.l; against B is evident in critical pas-
sages (e.g., John 1:34; 16:22, 27 , 28) . This impression, however, was
slightly modified after their inspection of the second portion. There is
affinity bctween 1p5 and 1":, bUI it is less pronounced than originaIly
thought. The papyrus, written in a documentary hand. is marked fo r its
brevity. Schofield said. "The tendency lO brevity, especially in omitting
unnecessary pronouns, conjunctions, etc., is an outstanding feature of
thc fragment." 2 In short, the lext is a good example of whal Kurt and

~¡~ This manuscript was originally dated to the fourth century by Gren-
>-- - fell and Hunt, evcn though they stated that the manuscripts found with
, _ it were predominantly of the third century-such as P. Oxy. 654 (ca.
. 250) and one third-century libelli.' There was even a second-century
i. manuscript, P. Oxy 656 (Gencsis), among the 101. Manuscripts compa-
rable to tp13 in handwriting slyle are as follows: (1) P. Oxy. 852 (175-
225), which is very similar; (2) P. Ox:y. 2635 (no later than ca. 200),
which has many similarities, especiaUy the long-tailed swooping upsi-
Ion; and (3) P. Oxy. 1016 (ca. 200-225), with sorne similarities. These
manuscripts suggest a date oC about 200 for 1J)13, bul it is necessary lO
date it 225-250 because tp13 was written on lhe verso of P. Oxy. 657
(part oC thc Epitome of Livy's hislory of Rome), dated ca. 200. 2
The pagination reveals that other epistles may have preceded this
one-perhaps Romans, as in 1J)46. The text of Hebrews was wriUcn in a
refonned documentary hand. Secause it was written on the back of a

Egyptian Museum or Antiquitics, Calro, Egypt.
 ~16 was discovered together with IJ.)tS. Grcnfcll and Hunt conjec-
tured that tp16 and 1J.)1S m ight have becn parts of the samc manuscript.
written in a documentary hand. Both manuscripts have the same for-
mation ofletters (especially the formation of '1. p, (J. (0). linc spacc, and
punctuation (indicated by spacing). The only notable difference is Ihe
color of ink on both manuscripts. However. this distinction probably
indicates that the same scribe switched to a different ink sometime
.~ aftermaking 1 Corinthiaris and beforecopyíng Philippians. Since thcse
manuscripts are &-om lhe same codex. it only stands to reason Ihat lhey
were origin:U1y :l part of II Paulinc corpus. Furthcrmorc . thc t\Vo mUSl
have Ihe same dale (Iale Ihird cenlury), nOllhird ccnlllry for 'P 15 and
"tbird 01' fourth ccntury for <+:> 16 (contra the Abnds).
, GrenfeU and Hunt datcd these fragmcnts lo lhe fourth century. But
tbis dating. influenced by their canception as ta when lhe Christian
codex was dcvdoped. is too late-by a ccntury. The Al a nds COIlClIr. But
. since they do nat think ~ 15 and ~ 16 are the wark of the same scribe and
do nol belong to Ihe same codelC, they datc them differently. However,
. a clase study reveals their common idcntity; thel'efOl·c. lhey muSl be
.<....dated the same. G. CavalIo calIs the style "ogivale inclinato" (roundcd .
... "~sJanted unciaJ). which is very typical of third-ccntury manuscripts.

all other manuscripts. According to Schoridd. 1J.)20 di-
verges from the B-group (i.e., K and B) onlytwice (in 2:23
and 3:7).'

_ The handwri t ing has many sim ilarities with P. Egcrton 4

(2 Chronicles) ofthe third century, and even more so with ~27. which
may be the work of the same scribe. The foUowing letters are formed
o,. identicaUy: a,~, 0, f., IC. l,~. V, O, 1t, p, a, 'V, u, 4t, ro. Both manuscripts dis-

, play no punctuation other than the diaeresis (an apostrophe appears in

\f)20 after a foreign name, but there was no occasion for it in ~27) .

Grenfell and Hunt dated 1J)24 lo lhe eadier part of the fourth century.
Sinee it was pan of a codex. it could be slight1y earlier. The handwriting
exhibits affinities with two other copies of Revelation: IJ) 18 and 1J)47.
" ~, Grenfell and Hunt say that ~24 does DOl follow any ene manuscript

Hunt dated the manuscript to the late third or founh century. They Sí

Housing location Florcnce, ltaly: Biblioteca Medicea Laurenziana (PSI 1) ,
Bibliography "G. Vitdli. Papiri gr~ci e lal;n; deUa Societa Italiana. vol.!
( 1912),1.
Physical features one leaf; originally IS cm x 26 cm; 30 lines per page
Textual character "stnet" accordmg to the Alands. II agn:es almost com-
pletely with B and a liule: less so with K:.

The d a ting of 1J)35 has been extremely vllned. It was originally dated
by its editor to the seventh century. Aland redated it to the fourth ceno
tury, bul Roberts and Skeat assigned it a third-century date. t In my
apinion, it belongs in the third century. The handwriting is extremely
si milar lo that found in 1J)40 (see Schofield's comments), which was
also originally dated late (sixth century) and then revised to the third
century.

Sanders described 1})37 as having a so-called Weslem lext with sorne

.~ \'ariants peculiar to Egypt.1})37 shows great affinity with 1P45. Both
;e"io.. manuscripts used to be called "Cacsarean,"1 but are no\V more appro-
_ : priatcly described as "free" te.'tts.z
The best parallels to the handwriting of ~37 are found in tite corre-
'" spondence of Heroninos (dated shortly before or after A.D. 260), espc-
, ciallya letter by Kopres (P. Grcco-Egizi 208), datcd A.D. 256. Olher COnl-
' p'~rable manuscripts are P. Arnherst 72. P. Comell52, and ~53.

Jews were known to put scrolls containing Scripture in pitchcrsoc~

jars in arder to preserve them. The Dead Sea scrolls found jn jars in the
Qumran caves are a celebrated example ofthis. The Beatty Papyri were-
very likely a part of a Christian library, which WélS hidden in jars tobe,

toneity of the text.
In these instances and in many more, the scribe demonstratcd lhal be
was a clase reader of the texto This shows up in a verse like Luk.e 11:14,
where the textual constructs prompted the scribe to delete o K~ be-
cause it is iIlogical to indicate that a m ute perseo can speak. It is aIso:.
c1ear that in Luke 11 :36 the scribe followed the dictates of the textual
constnlcts, which would cau se n rcadcr to think of a body part, notjUSl ' .
any parto Hence, he substituted IltAo~ (which is uscd strictIy for body
parts) for ~lepoc; (which designa le!'; m ore generally portions. parts, Te!
gions, s hares, or affairs). In John 10:14-15, a cltange was probably
prompted by a perceived discontinuity with the previous text of 10M. '
There is nothing in the text of John prior to chaptcr 10 that prepares tbt
reader for a statement about the intimacy between Jesus and his follow-
ers parallcling that oE Jesus a nd his Father. And in John 10:34-36 thi ·
scribe deJeted phrases about the Scriptures, nOI for any apparent tbco,,"
logica1 reasons but bccause they distracted from Jcsus' main proposi.
tion: if God calls mortals Hgods,H then Jesus can call himselfthe Soncl.
God bccausc he is heavenly.

Kenyon, ~5 in Mark shows a strong affinity with those manusaips:

Physical Features
According to Kenyon, lhe ordcrofbooks in lhe origina] intact rnJ
script was probably as follows: Matthew, John, Luke, Mark, Acts (lb
so-callcd Westcm order). Sinee the manuseript carne to London froo
Egypt in separate portions, this cannot be fu lly affirmed. Howeve¡
since Mark and Acts arrived together , it is a fair assumption.
Aeeording to Skeat's calculations, the codex originally had 2i
pages, divided:ls follows: Matthew. 4 9 p:lges; John, 38 pages; Luke, 4
pages; Mark, 32 pages; and AClS, 55 pages. 9 The fiest a nd last pages ~
blank and unnumbcred, but pal!,ination numbers are extant for 193 ari
199. The penmanship of this work displays the refonned documental
hand. This scribe used an l adscript in place of an 1 subscript, anda
phrase marks (') were added superlinearly latero .~

Textual Character
According to a study done by Colwell, the scribe of ~45 woru
"without any intention of cxacuy reproducing his source." IO He wroI
with a great amount offreedom- "hannonizing, smoothing out, subSl!
tuting almost whimsicaUy." In short, "the scribe does notactuallyeq
words. He sees through the language to its idea-content, and copk
that-often in woros of his own choosing, or in words rearranged as l
order." Thus, in the scribe oflJ:>45 we sce an exegete and a paraphrasc

 It was apparent to Colwell that the scribe oElp45 copied his exemplar
phrase by phrase and clause by clause (as opposed lo more careful
copyists who transcribe the text letter by leuer, as in 1p75). Whilc copy-
_ ing phrases and clauses, he workcd at reproducing what he imagined
to be the thought oE each phrase. Thus, he transposed and omitted
:tri ." 'ínany words and deleted several phrases. Colwell said, '1he most strik-
,~ ~ ~ing aspect of his style Is its conciseness. The dispensable word is dis-
pels • pensed with. He omits advcrbs, adjectives, nouns, participles, verbs,
QrI . . personal pronouns-without any compensaling habit of addition.'" I
;.. . Another study on ~4S done by Royse affinns Colwell's observations
ábout the scribe's penchant for brevity. Royse commenlS, ¡he scribe
has a marked tendency to omit partions of text, oñen (as it seems) ac-
..:- cidentally but perhaps also by deliberate pruning."12 The result oE this
pruning is that the scribe produced a very readabJe text, with very little
~ neooofcorrection. The scribe oEIJ)45 has been eharacterized as produe-

SCribeof~45 excluded the details about the 5,000 sitting down "by hun-
areds and by fifties" as well as the details about how many Ioaves and
6Shes there were. In John 11:25, he abbreviated Jesus' statement "1 am

mto harmony with Matthew's (see 14:19) or John's (see 6:10). In Joho
1.1,:25, the scribc of~45 thought it tautoIogical to add "and the lifc" to

P. Oxy. 2337 (assigned to the late first century}-very similar but

probably earlier than ~6 ~~
P. Oxy. 3721 (assigned to the second halfof the second century, but ;.o;
IGm would date it earlier)-the most comparable of all the manu· .
scripts I have personally seen
P. RyJands III 550 (assigned to the second century)-a remarkable
likeness to \1)46 .
P. Bcrol. 98 10 (early second ccntury}--quitc simila r (see plate a.nd
discussion in Schubart, Palaeographie, Handbuch del" Altertum~\
swisscnschaft, 1.4.1 [Munich: C. H. Beck. 1925], 29b.) .,

Another reasonableway to date ~46 (P, Chester Beatty U) is tocom:...... "

pare it with the othcr manuscripts with which it was discovcred. n.e.""
earliest manuscript in this collection is unquestionably P. Chester Be;,;'
atty VI (Numbers-Dcuteronomy). This manusctipt. displaying a g~
example of aRoman type of hand, is very comparable to the great H;'~ .•
perides manuscl"ipt. P. London 132 (early second century A.D.); the)
Herodas manuscript, P. Egerton 1 (ca. A.D. 100); and P. Oxy. 270(adoc- ,~
umentary text dated A.D. 94). Thus, Beatty VI should be datcd around~~
4
A.D. 125. \1)46 (P. ChesterBeatty 1I) is probably not as early as BeattyVl; ..
indced, it seemed to Ki:::nyon that tp46 had Hlos t a liule of the simplicit{~
of the best of the Roman hands. "5 In the final analysis, íp46 belongs!9.
the second century and pl"obably bclongs to the middle part of that ,cen· .
tury, when we consider its undeniable comparability with P. Oxy. 1622.
(ca. A.D. 117-138), P. O:<y. 3721 (second half of second century), P. R r· ,
lands III 550 (second century), P. Berol98 1O(early second century),.md ·
P. Oxy. 841 (second hand; 125-150). Thus, it is my opinion thatlp46 ~
longs to an era after A.D. 81-96 (the era posited by Kim)-perhapstbe
middle of the second century. ~
Dating ~46 lO this era allows time for the fonnation of the Pauli~
corpus to have occurred and for an archetypal collection to have beeó '
produced aod to circulate in Egypt. Zuntz figured that an archet~
Pauline corpus was fonned by A.D. 100 io Alexandria.6 Thus, an AIexiJi.:.r
driao copy :such as 1p46 could havc beeo produced shortly thereafttt:·;
and beeo used by Egyptiao Christians in Alexandria and other ncarlw"
towns such as Aphroditopolis (see the discussion of the provenailce~'"
the related manuscript 1p45).

Date
Kcnyon dated this codex to thc first half of the third ccntul"í.
Kenyon's dating was largely influenced by the handwriting of the ~~ .
chometrical notes at the end of severa! of the epistles. which he dated
to the early part afthe third centuI)'.\ Ulrich Wilcken, who was directic ·
of the Vienna library and founder of Archiv für PapyrusforschUIll,~
thought it belonged to the second century and said it could be date! ~ .'
safely to around A.O. 200. 2 Wilcken suggested this date on the basis ú' .
secing only one leaL Hans Gerstinger also thought it bclonged to tb!: 1
second century. .,,: ,
Young Kyu Kim propased a date in the reign of Domitian (A.D.al>
96) based on six criteria: 3

1. Allliterary papyri similar to the exaet style oflJ.)46 have beenzs.'

signcd dates between the first century B.C. and the early secoad·
century A.D. His primary examples are P. Oxy. 1790. p, On,'
2337, P. Oxy. 3695, P. Mi!. Vog!. 1181, P. Mich. 6789, P.Aid,
443. P. Med. 70.01 verso, and P. Rylands III 550. Hissecon~
examples are P. Mon, Gr. 216,P. Berol. 69261P. Gen. lOO.P,c.:,
Bero!. 1ge, P. Gr. BeroL 29b, P. Oxy. 8. P. Hamb. 111 193,ao!
P. Oxy. 3721.
2. Comparable documentary papyri are dated early: P. Oxy. 21l
270.318.320. and 3051.
3. The handwriting of 1J)46 is an upright, informal uncia! of
early type, It is a bookhand, manifesting at times a
hand. giving way here and there to ligatures. while stil
to keep thc upper line. Such a style is very rare after the
century.
