P. Antinoopolis 13

P. Antinoopolis 13 is the name given to a fragment of a parchment code from the late 4th or early 5th century.

It contains a few words from the pseudepigraphic acts of Paul and Thekla in Greek . The fragment is approximately 7 cm × 8 cm and written in regular capital letters. The manuscript is of a high quality, comparable to the Bible manuscripts. It was probably made in a monastery or for a wealthy client, which indicates that the text was held in high regard. The fragment is one of three surviving manuscripts from the original Greek text.

The fragment was found in the Roman city of Antinoopolis in Middle Egypt. It is now in the Sackler Library in Oxford with the signature P. Ant. 13.
