Description | PSI XIV 1373; Gregory-Aland P65; 𝔓65; NT65 Papyrus fragment containing Paul Epistula 1 Ad Thessalonicenses 1:3-2:1 and 2:6-2:13. The papyrus measures 16 x 4.7 cm, and contains 19 (recto) and 18 (verso) lines of text in what appears to be a single column. The original format appears to have been 25 x 18 cm, with approx. 28-29 lines of text per page. The fragment possibly belongs to the same codex as P.Yale I 2 (Ephesians from 3/4th c.; provenance N/A), as is argued by Comfort 2005: 68-69. |
