Description

Gregory-Aland 058, Van Haelst 366, Von Soden ε 010: Fragment with the Gospel of Matthew 18,18–29 
The fragment (9,5 x 13 cm) originates from the lower border of a 2-column codex page. The remains of 6 and 12 lines are clearly legible on each side, the bottom margin of 3 cm and a space of 0.8 cm between the columns are preserved. A complete page originally measured ca. 19 x 13 cm, with 26 lines per column and 10-11 letters per line. The hair side contains parts of Matthew 18,18–19 in the left, 18,22–23 in the right column; the flesh side Matthew 18,25–26 in the left, 18,28–29 in the right column. Possible scribal errors include δε[δεμε]νε instead of δεδεμενα, and λυσητεπι instead of λυσητεεπι (in Matthew 18,18). Nomina sacra with supralinear stroke (κε).
