| Description | P.Oxy. XI 1353; Gregory-Aland 0206 Four damaged fragments of a folio containing the First Epistle of Peter 5:5-13. The format of the codex is verging on miniature, and the text is written in one column, in a large biblical majuscule. The pagination (written in another hand) has been added in the top right corner of the folio (verso); see ed. pr. The small size of the codex combined with the large and meticulous script suggests that this was a deluxe edition with an extensive corpus of Christian texts; see Barker 2009: 192-202. Considering the page number (reading ωιθ "819" or ωκθ "829"), this might be the largest Greek parchment codex from Oxyrhynchus; see Blumell / Wayment 2015: 167 and Barker 2008: 192-202. This view is opposed by Nongbri 2018: 344 n. 60. |
