Papyrus 132 (designated as 𝔓132 in the Gregory-Aland numbering system) is an early copy of the New Testament in Greek. It is a papyrus manuscript of the Epistle to the Ephesians. The text survives on a single fragment with four to five lines containing a few letters each of 3:21, 4:1, and 4:2 on one side, and of 4:14,15, and 16 on the other. The manuscript has been assigned paleographically to the third or fourth century.[1]
Location
𝔓132 is housed at the Sackler Library (P. Oxy. 81 5258) at the University of Oxford.[2]
Textual variants
The text is very fragmented, but several textual variants can nonetheless be identified by reconstructing the text in comparison with other ancient manuscripts of Ephesians, and by utilizing letter-spacing to identify character sequences which are likely missing.
- 3:21 - The character sequence ια εν indicates that the Alexandrian reading και (and), whose presence is directly supported by 𝔓46 01 02 03 04 0278 6 33 81 104* 365 614 1175 1241supp 1739 1881, and indirectly by 06 10 12, is absent in 𝔓132.
- 4:15 - According to the reconstruction of Smith, 𝔓132 contains the sequence ος εστιν Χς (which is Christ). The usual reading of η κεφαλη ο (the head, the) following ος εστιν, was apparently omitted.
