Description	Gregory-Aland 𝔓92, P.Narmuthis 69.39a + 69.229a: Letters of Paul (Ephesians, 2 Thessalonians) Two fragments of a single-column codex, from two different pages far apart from each other: one contains Ephesians 1:11-13, 19-21 (fr. 1), the other 2 Thessalonians 1:4-5, 11-12 (fr. 2). There is therefore no indication of whether the codex contained all Epistles, or parts of them, and whether they were presented in canonical order or otherwise. The fragments measure 5 x 7,2 cm (fr. 1) and 2 x 4 cm (fr. 2) respectively, originally a codex page would have spanned c. 14.5 x 21 cm. Nomina sacra with supralinear stroke (χρω, θυ, κ[υ).
