Papyrus 111, designated by 𝔓111 (in the Gregory-Aland numbering of New Testament manuscripts), 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. Using the study of comparative writing styles (palaeography), it has been dated by the INTF to the 3rd century CE. Papyrologist Philip Comfort dates the manuscript to the first half of the 3rd century CE.[1] The manuscript is currently housed at the Sackler Library (Papyrology Rooms, P. Oxy. 4495) at Oxford.[2]

Description

edit

Due to the fragmentary nature of the manuscript, it's not possible to determine the manuscript page's original width and length. But from the extant text, P. 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.
