| Description | P.Oxy. LXXVIII 5129 Fragment of a smaller sized codex containing the Apology 1 of Justin Martyr, 50.12 and 51.4-5. A lectional trema is preserved on the recto (l. 2, succeeding the hair side) and the hand is of the severe type; see ed. pr. The text is the first published ancient copy of the works of Justin Martyr (see ed. pr.), and part of the text agrees closely with the quote from Isaias 53.11. The only surviving manuscript (MS A) is the Parisinus graecus 450. P.Oxy. LXXVIII 5129 differs from MS A inter alia by the occurrence of ϋ[μων] in l. 2 (recto) instead of the ἡμῶν of MS. |
