Papyrus 111

Papyrus 111 is a copy of the New Testament in Greek. It is a papyrus manuscript of the Gospel of Luke, containing verses 17:11-13 & 17:22-23 in a fragmentary condition. It is designated by the siglum 𝔓¹¹¹ in the Gregory-Aland numbering of New Testament manuscripts. Using the study of comparative writing styles (palaeography), it has been assigned by the INTF to the 3rd century CE.^[1] Papyrologist Philip Comfort dates the manuscript to the first half of the 3rd century CE.^[2] The manuscript is currently housed at the Sackler Library (Papyrology Rooms, P. Oxy. 4495) at Oxford.^[1]

Description

Verso, Luke 17:11-13

Due to the fragmentary nature of the manuscript, it's not possible to determine the manuscript page's original width and length. From the extant text, Comfort estimates around 21-22 lines a page. The extant text conforms with 𝔓⁷⁵. The handwriting script is representative of the Documentary style.^[3]

The manuscript has only one nomen sacrum extant: ιηυ for Ιησους (Jesus).
