Description

P.Köln II 80; P.Koeln II 80; Gregory-Aland P86; 𝔓86; NT86

Papyrus fragment from a folio containing the Gospel of Matthew 5:13-16 and 5,:22-25. 

The fragment measures 9.5 x 8 cm, and preserves 10 lines of text on the recto and 11 on the verso. The recto precedes the verso. The original size is estimated to have been 14 x 28 cm with approx. 31 lines of text; see ed. pr.

The hand is described as resembling documentary script, and for punctuation, the scribe employs high points. There are diaereses in line 3 (recto) and line 7 (verso), as well as a marked rough breathing in line 3 (verso).

The text appears to generally agree with the MS N and the "Egyptian" text type; see ed. pr.
