Description	P. Rainer 4 50, Gregory-Aland 0228, Van Haelst 542: Fragment of Epistles to the Hebrews 12,19–21; 12,23–25 Small outer fragment (3,8 x 5,5 cm) of a single-column codex page. Of the original 16-18 lines per page and 18-19 letters per line, the recto contains the remains of 9 lines, the verso of 10 lines. Pages were ruled. Dark discoloration of the flesh side has made the verso near-illegible. Here, Porter/Porter 2008 reconstructed the text of the first three lines according to the Alexandrian tradition, a change from Sanz 1946. Potential nomina sacra could be reconstructed for θεος and ιησου on the damaged flesh side.
