Papyrus Bodmer XXIV
Papyrus Bodmer XXIV (No. 2110 after Rahlfs ) is an incomplete psalter from the 3rd century. It contains the text of Psalms 17.46–53.6 and 55.8–118.44 in Greek . The text is written in uncials by two scribes . The first part contains a number of errors and is partly irregular, the second part is of a better quality. The manuscript represents a version in front of Origen's Hexapla . Some of their peculiarities can only be proven in the Coptic Psalter of al-Mudil . The latest palaeographic investigations date the manuscript to the first half of the 3rd century. Older suggestions for the time of origin ranged from the 2nd to the 4th century.
The manuscript was acquired in Egypt in 1955 or 1956. It was located in the Bibliotheca Bodmeriana in Cologny near Geneva with the inventory number Bodmer XXIV. Between 2009 and 2012 it came into the possession of the Green Collection in Oklahoma with the inventory number 170.
