from Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

Papyrus Chester Beatty XI (No. 964 after Rahlfs ) are two fragments of a papyrus code, probably from the 4th century. They contain parts from the book Jesus Sirach (Ecclesiasticus) 36–37 and 46–47 in Greek ( Septuagint ). The fragments are described in one column with up to 33 lines in rough uncials .

They were acquired in Egypt by the American collector Alfred Chester Beatty before the end of 1931 and are now in the Chester Beatty Library in Dublin with the signature BP XI.
