Using the study of comparative writing styles (palaeography), the manuscript has been dated by the INTF to the 3rd century CE. Papyrologist Philip Comfort dates the manuscript to Middle-Late 3rd century CE.^[1] The manuscript is currently housed in the Papyrology Rooms (P. Oxy. 4498) of the Sackler Library at Oxford, United Kingdom.^[2]

Description

The original manuscript would've been around 15cm x 25cm, with 27 lines per page. There is no extant writing on the opposite side, and so was either blank or contained the Title.

The Greek text of this codex is too small to determine its textual character. The handwriting script is representative of the Reformed Documentary style.^[3]
