Description	Gregory-Aland 𝔓116, P116, P.Vindob. G 42417: Fragment of Hebrews 2,9–11; 3,3–6 The small fragment (3.3 x 5.2 cm), originated from the middle of a ca. 18 x 28 cm codex page. The remains of 7 lines are visible on each side, with 57 legible letters and 32 fragmentary letters. There have been discussions about a variant formulation on line 10, which manuscript tradition writes as ὁ δὲ (or τὰ) πἀντα κατασκευάσας θεός. Nomen sacrum with supralinear stroke (ΙΗΝ, line 1). The entire passage here is contained in Gregory-Aland 𝔓46; the verso (Hebrews 3,3–6) is attested in Gregory-Aland 𝔓13 (3rd/4th c.) and Gregory-Aland 016.
Selection criteria	Literary genre (Biblical), Nomina sacra
Date from	300
Date to	350
Dating criteria	Palaeography; the ed.pr. points out that characteristics of the script indicate an early dating, but dates it to the 6th/7th c. due to specific letters (i.a. ε, μ). Jaroš dates it to the 2nd/3rd c. due to its use of ιην rather than ιν for Ἰησοῦν, and lack of abbreviation for υἱός. This is criticized in Förster 2002 and discussed in Blumell 2009. Most recently, Orsini/Clarysse 2012 have proposed dating the fragment to the first half of the 4th c.
Absolute/relative date	Relative date
Archaeological context	Unknown provenance.
