Papyrus Oxyrhynchus 5
Papyrus Oxyrhynchus 5 (P. Oxy. 5) is a fragment of a Christian
Grenfell and Hunt in 1897 in Oxyrhynchus. The fragment is dated to the late third or early fourth century. It is housed in the Bodleian Library (Ms. Gr. Th. f 9). The text was published by Grenfell and Hunt in 1898.[1]
The manuscript was written on papyrus in the form of a codex. The measures of the original leaf were 120 by 114 mm. The text is written in a good-sized uncial hand. The nomina sacra are written in an abbreviated way (ΠΝΑ, ΚΣ, ΙΣ, ΧΣ). The recto side has survived in much better condition than the verso.[2]
It quotes the
Shepherd of Hermas.[3]
