Papyrus 106 (named after Gregory-Aland with Sigel 106 ) is an early Greek copy of the New Testament .
description
The fragment comes from an ancient garbage dump in Oxyrhynchus, Egypt . It hardly ever rains there, which is why these fragments have been preserved. This papyrus manuscript of the Gospel of John contains only verses 1.29-35; 1.40-46. It was dated to the 3rd century by means of paleography .
text
The Greek text of the Codex represents the Alexandrian text type and is therefore close to 66 , 75 , Codex Sinaiticus and Codex Vaticanus .
Repository
The manuscript is currently in the Sackler Library under the call number P. Oxy. 4445 kept at Oxford .
