Schøyen MS 2648

from Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

The manuscript Schøyen MS 2648 (No. 816 after Rahlfs ) are six sheets of a papyrus codex from around AD 200/215. They contain the text of Joshua 9.27-11.3 in Greek ( Septuagint ).

The sheets are 20 × 11 cm and are written in one column in 19 to 25 lines with Alexandrian capital letters. They were likely part of a 72-page codex from the Book of Joshua. The leaves are the oldest surviving evidence of these passages in Greek and represent an older text version before the Hexapla of Origen . It also differs from the later Masoretic text .

The manuscript probably originated from Oxyrhynchos . It was probably written by the same scribe as Papyrus Schøyen 2649 . Around 1930 the sheets were acquired from an antique dealer in Alexandria by a collector from Zurich. In 1998 she bought the Schøyen Collection in Oslo , signature MS 2648. The sheets were in the middle of the Schøyen 2650 papyrus.
