Papyrus 122

Papyrus 122 (in the Gregory-Aland numbering), designated by 𝔓122, is an early copy of the New Testament in Greek. It is a papyrus manuscript of the Gospel of John.

Description
Only two pieces from one leaf have survived to the present day. The surviving texts of John are verses 21:11-14,22-24, they are in a fragmentary condition. The manuscript paleographically had been assigned to the 4th or 5th century (INTF). It was written by irregular hand.

It uses nomina sacra. Name Ιησους (Jesus) is abbreviated to ΙΗΣ (majority of manuscripts used abbreviation ΙΣ ). The number "one hundred and fifty-three" is written in Greek numerals — ΡΝΓ.

The Greek text of this codex probably is a representative of the Alexandrian text-type.

Text
In John 21:14 omitted word Ιησους (Jesus), just like in Codex Washingtonianus, rest of the manuscripts contain this word, usually with an article (ο Ιησους).

In red colour missing letters.

Location
The manuscript currently is housed at the Papyrology Rooms of the Sackler Library at Oxford with the shelf number P. Oxy. 4806.
