Papyrus 118 is a small papyrus manuscript of the Epistle to the Romans from the New Testament. It is designated by the siglum 𝔓118 in the Gregory-Aland numbering of New Testament manuscripts.
The manuscript is in fragmentary condition, containing text from Romans chapters 15 and 16. Using the study of comparative writing styles (paleography), the manuscript has been dated to the 3rd century CE.[1]
Description
[edit | edit source]_verso_Rom_16,_4-7;_16,_11-12.jpg){kind=link}
The papyrus was likely a codex (precursor to the modern book format), containing at least the Epistle to the Romans, of which only verses 15:26-27, 32-33, and 16:1,4-7,11-12 are extant.[2] The text was written in two columns per page.[2]
Text
[edit | edit source]The Greek text of this codex is too small to determine its textual character. It runs directly from Romans 15:33 through to 16:1, whereas some manuscripts (such as 𝔓46) have what is traditionally Romans 16:25-27 between Romans 15:33 and 16:1.[2]
History
[edit | edit source]The earliest history of the manuscript is unknown. The codex is currently housed at the Institut für Altertumskunde of the University of Cologne at Cologne, with the shelf number (Inv. No. 10311).[1][2]
